In Grandma’s Attic #1
$10.75 Add to cartRemember when you were a child–when all the world was new, and the smallest object a thing of wonder? Arleta Richardson remembers: the funny wearable wire contraption hidden in the dusty attic, the century-old schoolchild’s slate that belonged to Grandma, an ancient trunk filled with quilt pieces–each with its own special story–and the button basket, a miracle of mysteries. And best of all was the remarkable grandmother who made magic of all she touched, bringing the past alive as only a born storyteller could.
Here are those marvelous tales–faithfully recalled for the delight of young and old alike, a touchstone to another day when life was simpler, perhaps richer; when the treasures of family life and love were passed from generation to generation by a child’s questions, and the legends that followed enlarged our faith. Recommended for ages 8 and up.

Snow Day
$7.95 Add to cartThere’s nothing like a snow day!
Looking out on their newly frosted windows one morning, two young brothers watch millions of pure white snowflakes floating down. Everything is covered in a thick blanket of snow. Will it be deep enough? Soon come the two magical words they’ve been waiting for: SNOW DAY!
They scramble into their coats and boots – it’s time for hockey and tag and building a snow fort. Then, with stinging faces and frozen toes, it’s time for a hot-chocolate break and drying out of wet mittens. Toasty warm once again, they head back outside for more fun in the snow. When at last it’s time for sleep, they fall into bed, exhausted.
Outside, the snow comes drifting down again . . .Will they awake to yet another snow day?
Werner Zimmermann’s playful text, coupled with beautifully crafted water colour illustrations, captures all the excitement and wonder of a snow day.
