This stunning picture-book imagining of artist Agnes Martin’s childhood gives readers a glimpse into the life and work of one of the most esteemed abstract painters of the twentieth century.Agnes Martin was born on the Canadian prairies in the early twentieth century. In this imagining of her childhood from acclaimed author Tessa McWatt, Agnes spends her days surrounded by wheat fields, where her grandfather encourages her to draw what she sees and feels around her: the straight horizon, the feeling of the sun, the movement of birds’ wings and the shapes she sees in the wheat.One day, Agnes’s family moves to a house in a big city. The straight horizon and wheat fields are gone, but Agnes continues to draw what she sees and feels around her. No one except her grandfather understands what she is trying to capture — not her mother, who asks, “Where are you, Agnes?” when she sees her daughter engrossed in her drawing; nor her siblings, who think her art is ugly. Still, Agnes keeps trying to capture what she sees inside her mind.Agnes Martin grew up to become a famous abstract expressionist artist. Tessa McWatt has written a beautiful story of Agnes’s childhood and how it might have shaped her adult work. Zuzanna Celej’s watercolors adeptly capture Agnes’s world, including hints of the grid paintings that she was later known for, against the backdrop of prairie and city landscapes.Includes an author’s note with more information about Agnes Martin’s life and the inspiration behind this story.Key Text Featuresauthor's noteart historyCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.7Use information gained from the illustrations and words in a print or digital text to demonstrate understanding of its characters, setting, or plot.

Moon knew it was unusual to see a green turtle. Out of all the sea turtles in the world, they were the species that was most at risk. "What is it Turtle? Why are you here?" The turtle beckoned, Come, with its strong front flipper, and, as if it had actually spoken, Moon knew that it wanted to show her something. Many animals are in danger because of human activities. An animal at risk of extinction is a species that will only be around for a short while longer, unless steps are taken to save it. Moon 's Messenger reminds us of the importance of conserving and respecting the environment, and that we can all help to protect nature and biodiversity. Lexile Level 880L Guided Reading Level P

A little inquisitive girl and a great green turtle go on a journey that will remind them of the importance of preserving and respecting the environment.Moon knew it was unusual to see a green turtle. Out of all the sea turtles in the world, they were the species that was most at risk. The turtle beckoned, Come, with its strong front flipper, and, as if it had actually spoken, Moon knew that it wanted to show her something. This is how the two of them submerged themselves in the water and embarked on a journey that would take them to witness the wonders of the world, but also its threats.Many animals are endangered or threatened due to human actions. An endangered animal is a species that will only be able to survive for a short period of time unless action is taken to save it.Una gran tortuga verde y una niña muy curiosa emprenderán un viaje que les recordará la importancia de preservar y respetar el medio ambiente.Luna sabía que no era fácil ver una tortuga verde. De todas las tortugas marinas del mundo, esta especie era la más amenazada. Tortuga Verde parecía preocupada. Le hizo un gesto con su fuerte aleta delantera para que se acercara y, como si de verdad hubiese hablado, Luna comprendió que tenía un mensaje para ella. Así fue como las dos se sumergieron en el agua y emprendieron un viaje que las llevaría a presenciar las maravillas del mundo, pero también las amenazas que este sufre.Muchos animales se encuentran en peligro debido a las acciones del ser humano. Un animal en peligro de extinción es una especie que solo podrá sobrevivir por un corto período de tiempo a menos que se tomen acciones para salvarlo.
