Sitka Rose
By Shelley Gill
Illustrated by Shannon Cartwright
"Not
an inch of her was tame" goes the story of Sitka Rose, with her long
flame-colored braids woven with wildflowers. Like most heroes, Sitka
Rose could do fabulous things even as an infant, when she'd climb a
spruce to see the sky before she could crawl. She lassoed a whale to
reach the Nome gold rush, left a trench filled by the Yukon River in
her search for nuggets, and won a sled race by harnessing a grizzly
bear and ten wolverines.

The
Egg
by
Shelley Gill
illustrated
by Jo-Ellen Bosson
The Hindu
people believed that the world was created when a cosmic
egg split in two and Brahma made the heavens out of one half
and the earth out of the
other. That explanation may have been inspired by the observation that
many creatures hatch from eggs.
In The
Egg, learn about the many different ways
creatures produce eggs and how the young emerge from them. Told with
as much wit as fact, this eggciting story will captivate readers
of
all ages.
Brilliant, precise illustrations, with a touch of whimsy, show the
story of the egg from its earliest days in the deep oceans over
three billion
years ago, to birds nests and animals that carry their eggs inside
their bodies
today. This fascinating book explores the myths and realities of
the eggstraordinary egg.
