Molly and Nainai have never been apart, but now Molly's grandmother must return to China because her visa is up. After trying to walk to the airport herself, and sending hearts through the mail, Molly video chats with Nainai, but things just aren't the same between them. It feels strange to see Nainai on the tablet -- Nainai looks small and sounds so far away. Molly misses her grandmother very much, and the space between them seems immense until a familiar lullaby, shared through screen time, brings them together again. This is a poignant family story about immigration, grandparent-grandchild connections, multiculturalism, and the ties that bind. Evocative, digital illustrations beautifully locate time and place with careful detail and engaging colors, completing this 32-page picture book.

A celebration of nature through the eyes of a boy whose dreams fill with the glorious yellow leaves of autumn. As this young poet-artist and his little sister engage in activities throughout the changing year, readers will explore the seasons with this lyrical and visual story about childhood in an urban neighborhood. The story ends with the actual inspiration for the book -- a moment of fullness and beauty that can be seen briefly each year in autumn when the leaves of a towering sugar maple have turned golden. Its branches sway and shine in the sunlight and seem as though they will stay adorned forever, although this state of glory only remains intact for a few days amidst the endless change of days, months, seasons. The idea of these yellow leaves lives forever in the boy's memory, imagination, and anticipation, and reflects the hope we all have for good times again.
