You Rule!
We’ve always been fans of Rilla Alexander’s uber creative books, and You Rule! is her latest. Every day, kids face so many questions and so many possibilities in life. How long will it take? The blink of a butterfly’s eye or forever and a day? How fast are you — quick, meteoric or supersonic? This lively, playful exploration of feelings and ideas explodes with new vocabulary, language and all sorts of possibilities, and it deserves a spot in every classroom!
You Rule! was written and illustrated by Rilla Alexander and published by Handprint Books.

Maribel’s Year tells the story about the first year a little girl spends in America with her mother while waiting for her father to join them. How do you remember someone who’s 8,000 miles away in the Philippines?
