Bring the children in to meet Wendell and Florence Minor who will be signing some of their titles.

The Last Polar BearWritten by Jean Craighead George, Illustrated by Wendell Minor

The picture book addresses the threats of a warming world through the eyes of a young Eskimo boy, Tigluk.  Jean’s words and Wendell Minor’s beautiful illustrations capture the raw beauty of the Arctic and the challenges that polar bears now face as a result of climate change. 

Look to the StarsWritten by Buzz Aldrin, Illustrated by Wendell Minor

Aldrin and Minor collaborated on the bestselling Reaching for the Moon and now they reach beyond that book to give readers a concise look at the whole history of space exploration. Each spread provides a wonderful jumping-off point for young readers, and will no doubt inspire them to look to the stars themselves.

If You Were A Penguin 

If you were a penguin . . .

You could swim really fast and toboggan on ice.

Sing a happy duet, once or twice.

You could live on land but dive under the sea. 

There's a lot penguins can do, just like you and me!

Wendell and Florence Minor create a charming tribute to all the playful fun and activity that comes with being a penguin—which young readers can delight in too!
