( Izzy wants to be like Grandpa Mike and make people happ...)
Izzy wants to be like Grandpa Mike and make people happy, but the results of Izzy's generosity toward the Braids Girl are not what she expected. What does the Braids Girl really want? Young readers will cheer for Izzy when she at last realizes that the need for love and acceptance is what lies deep in the hearts of us all, no matter our age, race, gender, or social standing. This story of compassion and revelation lovingly demonstrates that despite outward appearance, little souls are much more alike than they are different--and everyone has something of value to give. Tim Ladwig's breathtaking artwork for children's picture books has earned him two finalist nominations for the Gold Medallion Award and a first-place tie for Publishers Weekly Religious Book of the Year, 1996.

( I Miss You Stinky Face is now a board book! Like many ...)
I Miss You Stinky Face is now a board book! Like many little kids, Stinky Face worries when his Mama is away. But Mama tells her son that nothing can keep them apart and that she’ll be flying home to see him tomorrow. When Stinky Face asks what will happen if the plane forgets how to fly, she tells him she’ll hop in a hot-air balloon. And if that hot-air balloon runs out of air and has to land in the desert, she’ll ride a camel home to see him. And on and on it goes, as the boy imagines Mama braving hungry sharks, terrible pirates, spaceships lost in time, and much more to get home to her son. In the end, mother and son reveal how much they miss each other and how they can’t wait to be together again! Kids will laugh at all the fun situations and wild exaggerations and will be reassured by the endearing message about the undying love of a mother.

With the same playful questions and wildly fantastic answers that worked so well in I Love You, Stinky Face, McCourt and Moore play out a small child's anxiety about whether Mama will make it home. What if the airplane forgets to fly? Then she will jump on a camel. But what if . . . ? From hot-air balloon to pirate ship, from shark to spaceship to dragon, Mama is absolutely certain that she will brave desert, jungle, ocean, and black hole in space and return safely to park in the driveway at home with the child she loves. The palette is similar to the bright purple and green of the first book, and the double-page paintings show the child talking to Mama on the telephone while his books and toys take him on the imaginary journeys everywhere. Kids will welcome the reassurance as they laugh at the wild exaggeration and recognize their fears.
