Here are a few ideas for Valentine’s Day:

Caldecott_flotsam_2The 2007 Caldecott Award winner, Flotsam, would be a great addition to any child’s library.  From the Caldecott siteFlotsam is a cinematic unfolding of discovery. A vintage camera washed up on the beach provides a young boy with a surprising view of fantastical images from the bottom of the sea. From fish-eye to lens-eye, readers see a frame-by-frame narrative of lush marinescapes ebbing and flowing from the real to the surreal.  “Telling tales through imagery is what storytellers have done through the ages. Wiesner’s wordless tale resonates with visual images that tell his story with clever wit and lively humor,” said Caldecott Medal Committee Chair Janice Del Negro.  You can purchase the book online here.  Or, go to Nightbird Books in Fayetteville to support your local independent booksellers.
