A little jester brings about big change When the world was a thousand years younger and minstrels traveled the roads, there was a monastery in the French countryside. The monks who lived there made books in which they painted lovely pictures. But the most beautiful picture, to them, was the painting of the weeping Madonna above the altar. One evening a jester boy comes to the monastery and is offered shelter. To thank the monks, he begins to juggle and dance. The stern Abbot wants to throw him out for disrespectful behavior, but soon the monks notice that something wonderful has happened. It is nothing less than a miracle, and one that will change the monastery – and the weeping Madonna – forever. Blending medieval and modern pictorial language, Helena Olofsson’s warmhearted story, accompanied by beautiful, distinctive illustrations, is about the transformative power of laughter and creativity.

Can moose be Bridget's brothers? Bridget is fed up with being an only child -- it's too quiet. If she just had a brother or a sister, she wouldn't feel so lonely. One day Bridget comes home to discover some moose sitting outside her building, and she decides to try them out as brothers. But the moose brothers don't turn out to be the sort of siblings she had in mind. Maybe peace and quiet is okay after all . . . This follow-up to Bridget and the Gray Wolves and Bridget and the Muttonheads is riotously funny and wild and will once again have readers both young and old laughing at Pija Lindenbaum's hilarious illustrations and Bridget's winning personality.
