Community snowman / by Kerbel, Deborah.; Modeweg-Hansen, Tine.;

"Building a snowman becomes a community effort, in this wordless story about a cold winter day that snowballs into a warm neighborhood gathering. One morning, a girl wakes up to discover that it has snowed overnight. After breakfast she starts building a snowman -- and soon realizes that it's easier and more fun to do with some help! Other kids join in to help roll the balls that make up the snowman's body. A passing teenager helps them reach to place the head. Then more neighbors come along and each contribute something unique from their packed lunches or winter ensembles: a pickle for a nose, bagel halves for the ears, lychee buttons, a shawl ... The final touch comes in the form of a poppy pin placed by a veteran over the snowman's heart. The snowman smiles as the community members pause to admire their work. And when the crowd disperses, the girl and her grandfather stay behind to share a snack and warmth with someone who needs them. Inspired by a real "community snowman" built by neighbors, author Deborah Kerbel has crafted a narrative about serendipitous connections, working together and paying it forward. These themes -- and more! -- are brought to life by the comic brilliance of Tine Modeweg-Hansen."--

A day for sandcastles / by Lawson, JonArno.; Leng, Qin.;

A dazzling wordless picture book celebrates creative problem-solving, teamwork, and the sun-splashed wonder of a day at the beach. The creators of the acclaimed Over the Shop evoke a perfect summer beach day -- and themes of creativity, cooperation, flexibility, and persistence -- all without a word in this sun-warmed, salt-stained delight of a story. A busload of beachgoers spills out onto the sand for a day of fun and frolic. Three siblings begin work on a castle, patting and shaping the sand as the sun arcs over the sky. Time and again, their progress is halted: a windswept hat topples their creation; a toddler ambles through it; the tide creeps close, and then too close. Meeting each demolition with fresh determination, the builders outdo themselves time and again, until the moment arrives to pile back into the bus for home.LSC
