Description
Sometimes it's fun to get wet. And sometimes it's not.
This is a thoughtful exploration of the ways to get and be wet by children's book author Carey Sookocheff-from puddles and pools, to puppydog kisses. A boy describes how he gets wet at the swimming pool, at the playground, at home. Emotionally resonant and carefully observed, with a gentle bedtime ending, this is a poetic celebration of wetness-and childhood.

It looked just like a regular stone, but Alice knew it was different: It was perfectly round so you could use it to trace circles, and sometimes she could trick her dad into thinking it was a quarter.

Naughty and nice? Busy and bored? People can be different things - at the same time!
This deceptively simple book uses children's everyday experiences to explore human complexity. Each page features a child embodying two seemingly contradictory characteristics. For example, a boy's bouquet of balloons makes him lucky, but since one has floated away, he's unlucky at the same time. In another, a girl making sure the food she's pouring lands in her...
