Baby Shower Sampler
These titles were listed recently for a baby shower in the area. The range and quality demonstrate the flexibility and variety that I can provide for a dedicated purpose like a baby shower. How else may we customize? Retirement party? Teacher certification or first job? Housewarming?
This worked because I could report sellouts to browsers so no duplicate gifts would be given, even though I am likely to stock many of the titles all the time.
Let me know if I can prepare a list — or follow yours — for a person or an event that calls out for books as gifts.
Owl Moon
Owl Moon
Celebrating 30 years of the beloved classic Owl Moon from renowned children’s book author Jane Yolen and Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator John Schoenherr!
Late one winter night a little girl and her father go owling. The trees stand still as statues and the world is silent as a dream. Whoo-whoo-whoo, the father calls to the mysterious nighttime bird.
But there is no answer.
Wordlessly the two companions walk along, for when you go owling you don’t need words. You don’t need anything but hope. Sometimes there isn’t an owl, but sometimes there is.
Distinguished author Jane Yolen has created a gentle, poetic story that lovingly depicts the special companionship of a young child and her father as well as humankind’s close relatiohship to the natural world. Wonderfully complemented by John Schoenherr’s soft, exquisite watercolor illustrations, this is a verbal and visual treasure, perfect for reading alound and sharing at bedtime.
