A hysterical picture book full of old-world chaos, reminiscent of Tomi Ungerer, William Steig, and Strega Nona.Sweet Paulette loves her mother tirelessly...and her exhausted mother must really love her too. Whoopsie! Whoopsie! Whoopsie!! Never mind that trail of chaos and smashed tomatoes at the market, because Paulette is perfect and precious and EVERYTHING IS FINE! But when her darling daughter suddenly goes missing, Paulette’s mother must comb through a village of beastly children and other flustered parents to find her own child in the most unexpected of places.

A sparkling and deeply felt story of love, loss, renewal—and jam!—offering a gentle reminder of the cyclical nature of the world around us.If you ever have a mulberry tree, you’ll climb branches and shake with all your might. You’ll gather berries and smush fruits, while your dad boils jars in a tall, silver pot sweating and happy as the kitchen fills with steam. Because if you’ve ever had a mulberry tree, you know that the sweetest things are worth waiting for.Sumptuous text and deliciously expressive illustrations come together to form a gentle ode to nature’s bounty, to patience, and to one girl’s lifelong connection to the tree in her yard.

I have three cats - Big, Little, and Middle - in charge of my backyard. But that one over there? She’s not mine. Not at all. When a new cat appears in her backyard, a young girl isn't sure what to do. The new kitty is a little smelly and covered in fleas - who would want a cat like that? Besides she already has three cats, and they're not too keen on this newcomer either. But day by day and season by season, the new cat comes back, and the girl and her kitties warm to the new furry face in their yard. Before they know it, the new cat isn't so new - she's part of the family.
