Powell's Presents: Kids' Storytime With Suzanne Kaufman & Zoey Abbott

Whenever James has earned enough money from doing small jobs for his neighbors, he buys himself a new kite. He hangs it in his closet with his other kites, where they remain just as James likes them: safe, tidy, just right. That is, until his little sister discovers them. GG has different ideas about kites, and about keeping things safe and tidy. James is sure he knows what’s best, but he also loves GG. Is it time for him to reconsider what it means to be “just right”? Zoey Abbott’s delightful new picture book featuring a special sibling bond, The Kite Collector (Kids Can Press), offers a wonderful lesson about the joy that can be found in being open to new experiences. It’s perfect for anyone needing a fresh perspective on what’s “right,” and for any child adjusting to life with a younger sibling.

Suzanne Kaufman’s Blue (Little, Brown Books for Young Readers) is a sweet story about a child’s magical night with a blue heron, a perfect dreamy bedtime story for little ones. One summer morning, Boy wakes up to discover Blue. Curious, he follows this mysterious bird on a day’s worth of adventure, play, and exploring the nooks and crannies of their coastal home. And at night, they soar, with hands and wings reaching for the stars. But as the sunrise peeks out, Boy is forced to say goodbye to Blue. For now. In this gentle and touching story, Kaufman proves that love can transcend all boundaries.
