Malinda Martha and Her Skipping Stones

<p>A pocketful of stones turns an ordinary day at the beach into an extraordinary day of self-discovery. Malinda Martha learns a new skill that outlasts her creations on the shifting sand at the edge of Nantucket Harbor. After the waves wash over her sandcastle & her sandfaces, she learns to skip stones. As the "skippin' stones spin shapes that shimmer" she experiences the joy that comes from making something happen for the first time...discovers her own ability to create that joy. In her lifelike, spirited watercolor paintings, Susi Grell sends the stones skimming across the water, enticing kids of all ages to "spin rings on the sea." A jingle & a touch of tongue twisting offer readers the fun of playing with words. Marcia Trimble introduces her favorite character, Malinda Martha, in MALINDA MARTHA & HER SKIPPING STONES. Says the author, "My daughter, Malinda & I spent many hours skipping stones at the beach on Nantucket Harbor so Malinda Martha very naturally skipped right into the pages of my book. It's an opportunity that came along to leave a legacy to my daughter. How could a writer pass that up?" To order: Images Press, tel: 650-948-8251, FAX: 650-941-6114. E-mail: Bugsmom2@aol.com.

While everyone at Liberty Cafe is waiting for Alice Ann to arrive, readers get a peek at what Alice Ann is doing in Hayden's clever miniature cartoon drawings. Text rhythm and repetition lead to the delicious event and guarantee fun listening and story time read-alouds. Hayden's illustrations are a visual feast.
