Winston’s Wet
Written by Megan Cline; Illustrated by Sakshi Mangal
Everybody’s favorite Wombat is back, and he’s desperate to cool down! Winston wants to play outside, but it’s SO hot. Luckily, his mom comes up with a great idea: They can play in the sprinklers! Together they jump and laugh and play in the cool water under a hot summer sun, and then things get even better. There’s a rainbow! Right there in the mist. But where did it come from?
With the help of his mom, Winston learns why rainbows appear when there’s mist in the sun, and how it’s just like friendship and love-something miraculous that you can feel and enjoy, even when you can’t catch it in your hand.

The Barn Light
Written by Catherine Green; Illustrated by Leigh Vashey; Edited by Quiethouse Editing
A long season of short days and cold nights makes for two restless explorers like Claire and Nate. The sky grows dark just after dinner, and it is too cold to be outside for long periods of time. Having to stay indoors is dreary for the young wayfarers, but their imaginations grow as they plan what they will do this summer.
They eagerly long for the day when they can play outside again. Mom often hears them making plans for a new fort they are going to build in the woods. Nate cannot wait to see if the raft is still by the pond. They like rowing it to the other side and pretending they are walking through a new land.
Mom knows the season is beginning to change, and it will not be long before they can go discovering outside once more. One night at dinner, she tells them the weather is supposed to be nice over the weekend and perhaps they can spend some time out of the house. They have waited all winter for this moment. While their older sister, Anne, is disinterested, Claire and Nate are excited!
The weekend arrives, and just as Mom said, the weather is beautiful. Claire and Nate bundle up in jackets, and with a rucksack in tow, they head out to see the world. Their eyes are big with expectations of what the day will bring. The smells in the air stir an energy that the day will be full of adventure. Mom tells them to be in before dark and kisses them goodbye.
As they begin down the trail leading to the pond, Nate wonders if the raft is still there from last summer. He is happy when he sees it lying on the bank, right where they left it. He and Claire grab the oars, climb on, and paddle to the other side. Things have changed since the last season. The path is clearer because of the barren trees, and they can see deeper into the woods.
They stop in their tracks and question the decision facing them. They can either go home or continue along the path. There is plenty of room to play in the field next to the house, yet if they continue on the trail, they do not know what they may find. Nevertheless, in their hearts, they know they cannot turn back.
Their venturous drive gives them boldness and courage to confront the fears of the unknown. Their childlike imagination picks up on every noise, including one that is familiar, at least to Claire. That recognition brings comfort to them both. Along their quest, they meet new friends and find surprises in old friends, which brings them hope in what they have lost over time.

Sweet Tamales for Purim
Written by Barbara Bietz; Illustrated by John Kanzler
Many Jewish families helped settle, diverse communities in the desolate, desert terrain of the Wild West. Although Sweet Tamales for Purim is a work of fiction, it is inspired by a true event. In 1886, the Hebrew Ladies Benevolent Society of Tucson planned a Purim Ball for the entire community. Barbara tells the story from the perspective of a young girl, who along with her new friend, Luis plan to create a Purim festival for their town. Their plans for the celebration were well underway until the family goat, Kitzel, ate all of the traditional holiday pastries, Hamantashen. Fortunately, they find another way to celebrate Purim and the family is able to share their cultural traditions with their new neighbors.
Purim celebrates the courageous stand that Queen Esther made to save the Jewish people from being banished by the king. The young girl’s determination to create a spirited Purim celebration in her western town, provides a unique insight into how children can creatively overcome challenges when life doesn’t go as planned. Her quick thinking, persistence and resourceful actions give their first Purim festival added significance.
