The Stuff of Stars

Marion Dane Bauer

In an astonishing unfurling of our universe, Newbery Honor winner Marion Dane Bauer and Caldecott Honor winner Ekua Holmes celebrate the birth of every child. Before the universe was formed, before time and space existed, there was . . . nothing. But then . . . BANG! Stars caught fire and burned so long that they exploded, flinging stardust everywhere. And the ash of those stars turned into planets. Into our Earth. And into us. In a poetic text, Marion Dane Bauer takes readers from the trillionth of a second when our universe was born to the singularities that became each one of us.

Flaps and the Cradle Of Winds

Brian D. Goff

Flaps is a young peacock butterfly with a challenge – a hole in her right wing. 
Her father was a Storm Breaker, one of the special butterflies who help keep the planet’s weather balanced by flapping their wings in just the right places. But now, the winds of the world have grown wild and angry because humans have been unkind to nature. To restore balance, Flaps’ father flew to the legendary Cradle of Winds, a place said to hold the key to calming the storms. But he never returned. 
Years later, a powerful storm nearly sweeps Flaps and her glowing firefly friend, Blinks, away. Realizing something must be done, Flaps decides she will journey to the Cradle of Winds to fix the weather herself, even with her damaged wing. 
To find her way, Flaps visits Perla, a wise moth who knows the old stories. Perla tells her about an ancient legend: only a butterfly with a pure heart, riding on the back of a condor, can cross the highest mountains, flap its wings in the deepest valleys, and bring peace back to the weather. 
Determined and brave, Flaps sets off on her quest, unaware that Blinks is secretly following her. Along the way, they meet new friends, overcome challenges, and discover that even the smallest creatures can make a big difference. 
Can Flaps find the Cradle of Winds and bring calm to the storms? Her courage and heart will guide her through this great adventure!
