Sammy is the smallest kid on the basketball court. But ever since the first

tries again until one day, he becomes a neighborhood legend. Readers will
learn about the important skills of setting goals and staying disciplined in
this inspirational tale of the power of determination.

Beetle in the Bathroom
What’s in the bathroom when you close the door? This hilarious picture
book in rhyme follows a narrator as he opens the bathroom door to find
bugs everywhere! However, they aren’t just crawling around. A beetle sings
in the shower, a butterfly puts on makeup, and a caterpillar clips its many
nails. Brilliant illustrations are paired with clever rhyme to delight young
readers in this funny, engaging book about bugs.

Fly, Little Fish!
Little Fish has a big dream—she wants to fly. However, she hears from her
friends and family that it’s not possible. Little Fish isn’t discouraged; she

flies past animals on land, past birds in the sky, and even out of Earth’s
atmosphere. Meanwhile, there’s Little Bird, who just wants to be able to
swim. Colorful, textured illustrations bring this sweet story of determination
to life. Readers will learn the power of believing in themselves and reaching
their full potential.

                                          ANDREW WEALE is a singer, actor, teacher, and author.
                                          Newt in a Suit was his first book. He has since written many more.
                                          MARGARET CHAMBERLAIN studied at the Royal
                                          College of Art, after which she was inspired to start illustrating
                                          children’s books. She lives in England with her husband Ian Dicks,
                                          the cartoonist. A very strange thing about Margaret is that she
                                          has one blue eye and one brown eye!

                                    picture books started when she created her first book, The Hat, to
                                    share with other classes in primary school. Today she lives near

The (Ferocious)
Chocolate Wolf
Things are not always as they seem. When Ferocious, the not-so-ferocious
wolf, decides to open a chocolate shop, all the other animals in town are
afraid. However, a pig decides to trust the wolf and help with the chocolate
endeavor. While the other animals think the pig has made a deadly
decision, he’s really started a sweet new friendship. The other animals’
eyes are opened to the possibility of accepting Ferocious into the fold and
looking past his differences to the generous baker behind the big teeth. This
picture book combines heartfelt storytelling with bright illustrations to teach
an important lesson about empathy, inclusion, and friendship.

                                               wonders waiting to be discovered and turned into stories. One day,
                                               she hopes to have a pet donkey, a wombat, and an owl. For now, she

                         ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND ILLUSTRATOR:
                         HEIDI HOWARTH                has written several popular children’s books.
                         She often collaborates with her husband, illustrator Dan Howarth, whom she
                         met in college. She lives in the countryside with Dan and their two children.

                         DANIEL HOWARTH started drawing from a very early age and went on
                         to get a college degree in illustration. He started creating his own collection
                         of greetings cards with his wife and fellow children’s author, Heidi Howarth.
                         Dan works from his studio in the countryside and enjoys the wealth of
                         inspiration and imagination that come from his surroundings, Heidi, and their
                         two children.
