What is a fossil? Sometimes it's the imprint of an ancient leaf in a rock. Or it could be the skeleton of a dinosaur that has turned to stone! With clear prose and lovely, full-color illustrations, award-winning author and illustrator Aliki describes the different ways fossils are formed and what they tell us about life on Earth long ago. Now rebranded with a new cover look, this book includes beautifully detailed illustrations and a find out more section with a glossary and activity guide so kids can create their own fossils for someone to find a million years from now.

Under the guidance of her teacher, who understands that there is more than one way to tell a story, Mari makes pictures to illustrate the history of her family, and eventually begins to decipher the meaning of words. In Spoken Memories, a proud Mari is finally able to use her new words to narrate the sequence of paintings she created, and share with her classmates her memories of her homeland and the events that brought her family to their new country.

Und wenn man schüchtern in eine neue Klasse kommt? Gefühle, die man hat und die andere haben, werden hier farbig geschildert. Auch das allerschönste Gefühl gehört natürlich dazu - die Liebe. Alikis Spielszenen aus dem Alltag vermitteln Verständnis für eigene und fremde Gefühle. Ein Bilderbuch zum Mitfühlen und Mitfreuen, schon für Kinder ab 4 Jahre.

Ein Buch über freundliches (und unfreundliches) Benehmen. Beim Begrüßen, in öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln, als Gast, am Telefon, bei Tisch - bei unzähligen Gelegeneheiten kann man sich so oder so verhalten. Alle mögen lieber nette Menschen. Freundlichkeit, Höflichkeit und Rücksichtsnahme sind nicht deshalb vorzuziehen, weil das irgendwelchen Regeln entspricht. Die Autorin läßt keinen erhobenen Zeigefinger erscheinen, sondern schreibt aus einer menschenfreundlichen Grundhaltung: Achte die Gefühle anderer und verletze sie nicht.
