A rousing picture book biography of the only woman whose name is printed on the Declaration of Independence.Born in 1738, Mary Katharine Goddard came of age in colonial Connecticut as the burgeoning nation prepared for the American Revolution. As a businesswoman and a newspaper publisher, Goddard paved the way for influential Revolutionary media. Her remarkable accomplishments as a woman defied societal norms and set the stage for a free and open press. When the Continental Congress decreed that the Declaration of Independence be widely distributed, one person rose to the occasion and printed the document-boldly inserting her name at the bottom with a printing credit: Mary Katharine Goddard.Here is an important biography of a groundbreaking woman who had the courage to write herself into the history she helped create.

It was a swallow who called it first."Fire's coming!"And the animals ran away.Even the insects tried to flee.The girl and her family left, too.All I could do...was wait.When a wild fire comes roaring into the forest, all the animals and humans flee. But all the tree can do is wait. Wait until many days and nights pass. Wait until the fire loses the battle. And wait until the forest is still before the forest can be reborn and the animals and the girl can come back.Inspired by the 2013 Black Forest Fire in Colorado and told from the point of view of a tree watching its home destroyed, Hello, Tree is about the kinship between humans and nature, and preservation of the environment.

A STEM-focused picture book about Ruby, a curious child who is eager to map the world around her, by beloved children's book author Jane Yolen, recipient of the Hans Christian Andersen medal.It's Ruby's first time drawing a map all by herself. She eagerly grabs her journal and markers and heads outside with her mama close behind. Down the street, under the railroad bridge, and through the park-her mapping has begun. With each step, Ruby draws key elements of her route, carefully adding details as she goes: bikers on the trail, birds in the sky, deer in the meadow. By the end of her special day, Ruby's map is bursting with interesting observations.This thoughtful picture book introduces the concept of mapping. It spotlights how a child's daily life is filled with small maps-whether inside or outside, on the sidewalk or in the park-and reinforces how those maps help us tell our stories.
