Centuries after the events of the #1 New York Times bestseller Wings of Starlight, two fairies must battle a dangerous magic—and their growing feelings for each other—in order to save their home in the Winter Woods of Pixie Hollow.When frost fairy Periwinkle travels too close to the forbidden border where Spring meets the Winter Woods, she unknowingly discovers a thread of a lost magic. And, for the first time, she begins to dream. While Periwinkle’s dreams start sweet, they slowly morph into more disastrous visions of the Pixie Dust Tree—the life source for all of Pixie Hollow—destroyed. Soon Periwinkle is confronted by a sparrow man who knows two secrets: one, that Peri has been dreaming, and two, that the Winter Woods is in terrible danger. The infuriatingly handsome stranger introduces himself as Weaver, claiming to be a dream-talent, the last of his kind. There's a chance he can spin Periwinkle's dreams into dream thread which could protect the Pixie Dust Tree. But to do so, they

Red Snake 和 Blue Snake 從小就是好朋友，卻幾乎什麼事情都能有不同看法。Red Snake 說天空是灰色的，Blue Snake 堅持明明就是藍色；眼前的仙人掌，一個覺得像幽靈，另一個卻說像手套。兩條固執的小蛇從早晨一起做瑜伽開始，看雲、聊天，也一路為各種小事爭論不休。就在你一言我一語之間，牠們還差點被耍蛇人抓走。到了晚上，兩個朋友終於幾乎對某件事有了相同意見。Tallec 以明亮畫面與幽默情節呈現友情中的意見分歧，也讓孩子發現，同一件事從不同角度觀看，可能會有不只一個合理的答案。● 兩位好友對天空、雲朵與仙人掌都有不同看法，在日常爭論中製造幽默情節● 從早晨瑜伽到驚險躲過耍蛇人，一天的相處呈現友情與意見不同也能並存● Tallec 以鮮明插畫與喜劇節奏，帶孩子理解不同觀點可能同樣有道理Red Snake and Blue Snake have been friends since they were small, but that doesn't mean they see things the same way. When Red Snake says the sky is grey, Blue Snake insists it's blue. The cactus looks just like a ghost--or a mitten. With so much to debate, can the snakes stay friends? The two stubborn reptiles start their morning with a little yoga, watch the clouds, bicker about this and that, narrowly escape being captured by a snake charmer, and end the day very nearly agreeing on something. Tallec's knack for high comedy is a highlight of this bright story that reminds us how opposite points of view can be equally true.

Race Cars is a children's book about white privilege created to help parents and educators facilitate tough conversations about race, privilege and oppression. Written by a clinical social worker and child therapist with experience in anti-bias training and edited by a diversity expert, Race Cars tells the story of 2 best friends, a white car and a black car, that have different experiences and face different rules while entering the same race. Filled with bright, attention-grabbing illustrations, a notes and activities section at the back helps parents, guardians and teachers further discuss these issues with children.Why is this book important? As early as 6 months old, a baby's brain can notice race-based differences; children ages 2 to 4 can internalise racial bias and start assigning meaning to race; and 5- to 8-year-olds begin to place value judgments on similarities and differences. By age 12, children have a complete set of stereotypes about every racial, ethnic and religious g
