Sun Horse, Moon Horse
by Rosemary SutcliffLubrin was a son of the chieftain of the Iceni, a people who herded horses on the high chalk downs of England over 2,000 years ago. As a child, Lubrin tried again and again to capture in drawing the pattern of movement in the powerful horses galloping on the downs, and especially one horse, a beautiful white mare. Few of Lubrin's people were interested in his artistry. Then the invaders came, another horse people seeking the territory of the Iceni. Only a remnant of Lubrin's people survived the battle and the imprisonment that followed. But Lubrin dreamed that this remnant would go free to find new land. He believed his art could make that possible. Here is a sensitive recreation of the world of the makers of England's famous White Horse of Uffington, that can still be seen today.
The Sun Is Kind of a Big Deal
by Nick SelukA hilarious nonfiction picture book from the New York Times bestselling author and creator of Awkward Yeti.Oh hey, guess what? The Sun never stops working to keep things on Earth running smoothly. (That's why it's been Employee of the Month for 4.5 billion years.) So why does the Sun get to be the center of attention? Because it's our solar system's very own star! This funny and factual picture book from Awkward Yeti creator Nick Seluk explains every part of the Sun's big job: keeping our solar system together, giving Earth day and night, keeping us warm, and more. In fact, the Sun does so much for us that we wouldn't be alive without it. That's kind of a big deal. Each spread features bite-sized text and comic-style art with sidebars sprinkled throughout. Anthropomorphized planets (and Pluto) chime in with commentary as readers learn about the Sun. For instance, Mars found someone's rover. Earth wants the Sun to do more stuff for it. And Jupiter just wants the Sun's autograph. Funny, smart, and accessible, The Sun Is Kind of a Big Deal is a must-have!

Sun-kissed
by Melissa de la CruzBe careful or you'll get burned. The three hottest au pairs in history are back, and this time they're ready to rule the Hamptons. Mara has all the VIPs in the hottest clubs hanging on her every word. Eliza's family is back from financial ruin; and she's got the platinum charge cards to prove it. Jacqui is newly single and ready for some steamy summer hook-ups. The girls seem to have it all this summer...but looks, as we all know, can be deceiving. Mara's living every girl's dream: playing house with her boyfriend, Ryan Perry, on his parents' luxury yacht while writing a column about night-life in the Hamptons. With a press pass to every hot event, Mara's ready to hit the red carpet and scoop even the most seasoned journalists. If only she could get a pass from Ryan, who just wants her to stay home and cuddle. Last summer's "No boys!" mantra is a distant memory for Jacqui. While the new au pair, Shannon, handles the Perry kids, Jacqui searches for some serious fun. And she doesn't have to look far: Three dot.com boy millionaires have moved in next door and are more than happy to compete for her affections. Thus Jacqui's new mantra is, "Why have just one when you can have them all?" Eliza and Jeremy are in total relationship bliss. She's decided to take the next step with Jeremy and nothing's going to stop her this time. Unfortunately, what she thought would be a cakewalk internship for a famous fashion designer turns out to be more hours of hard labor than she, or her relationship, are ready for. Too bad Jeremy won't stop questioning her work ethic long enough for Eliza to get back in the mood. The Au Pairs: Sun-kissed. Because it's soooo much more than just a job.
