Tilbury House
Children’s Spring 2014 Catalog
Welcome to Our House!
W
elcome to Tilbury House, Publishers. Whether
you’re an old friend or new, we’re sure that you’ll find
in this catalog books to inspire, delight, and inform.
Lexile Measures
Soon we will be providing Lexile measures for our
books. Developed by MetaMetrics, a psychometric team that
specializes in educational measurement and research, Lexile
measures allow parents and teachers a way to match a text
to a child’s reading ability, not just his or her grade level. A
Lexile measure gauges the complexity of a text, an important
aspect of the new Common Core Standards. You’ll see the
Lexile measures after the age ranges listed for our three new
children’s hardcovers. For more information about Lexile
measures, visit our website, www.tilburyhouse.com.
Common Core Standards
Most states have adopted a new set of educational
standards called the Common Core Standards. The goal of
these standards is to better prepare American students for
the demands of college and the workplace. The Reading/
Language Arts standards cover reading literature (fiction),
reading informational text (nonfiction), foundational skills
(phonics, word recognition, and fluency), writing, and
speaking and listening.
As part of our continuing efforts to support teachers,
we’ll be providing Common Core correlations for all our
books! Visit our website for a downloadable PDF that contains the standards that apply to each title. We’re starting
with this Spring’s books and working our way backward.
One Thing That Doesn’t Change...
There are lots of new things going on at Tilbury
House—a new address, new titles, and new tools—but one
thing that doesn’t change is our commitment to providing
fine books that help children grow, develop awareness of
and appreciation for other cultures, and learn to love nature.

Before We Eat
From Farm to Table
Pat Brisson
Illustrated by Mary Azarian
Hardcover, $16.95
ISBN 978-0-88448-352-6
Ages 4–8; 740L
32 pages
Milk doesn’t just appear in your refrigerator, nor do
apples grow in the bowl on the kitchen counter. Before we
eat, many people must work very hard—planting grain,
catching fish, tending animals, filling crates, and stocking
shelves. In this book, vibrantly illustrated by Caldecott
Medalist Mary Azarian, readers find out what must happen before food can get to our tables to nourish our bodies and spirits.
Pat Brisson is the author of 20 books for young readers, including The Summer My Father Was Ten and Sometimes
We Were Brave (both from Boyds Mills Press). A graduate
of Rutgers University, she is a former elementary school
teacher, school librarian, and public-library reference librarian. Pat lives in New Jersey with her husband.
Artist Mary Azarian is the Caldecott-Medal winning
illustrator of Snowflake Bentley, written by Jacqueline Briggs
Martin (1999, Houghton Mifflin). She created the pictures
for Before We Eat by first carving the pictures in wood (in
reverse!) and then printing them with ink onto paper before
adding the color with acrylic paints. She lives and creates
her art on a hilltop farm in Vermont.

Ages 4–8; 880L
32 pages
In today’s world, more and more children have
parents who live separately. As these children move
between homes, they can’t help but wonder: will Mom
still love me? Will Dad? In this reassuring picture book,
young readers see children who have two households—
whether because of divorce, separation, or other circumstances—experiencing life’s ups and downs with both
parents, secure in the knowledge that Mom will always
be Mom, and Dad is forever Dad.
Joanna Rowland is an elementary school teacher
in the San Juan Unified School district. As a teacher, she
saw that many of her students have two homes, and wrote
Always Mom, Forever Dad with those children in mind. She
lives in California with her husband and three daughters.
This is her first book.

Long Island, New York, where she’s lived all of her life. She

The Soda Bottle School
Laura Kutner
and Suzanne Slade
Illustrated by Aileen Darragh
Hardcover, $16.95
ISBN 978-0-88448-371-7
Ages 6 –12; 620L
32 pages
In a Guatemalan village, students squished into their
tiny schoolhouse, two grades to a classroom. The villagers had tried expanding the school, but the money ran
out before the project was finished. No money meant no
materials, and that meant no more room for the students.
Until one boy got a wonderful, crazy idea: Why not use
soda bottles, which were readily available, to form the
cores of the walls? Sometimes thinking outside the box—
or inside the bottle—leads to the perfect solution.
Suzanne Slade is the award-winning author of
more than one hundred nonfiction books for children. The
incredible teamwork, creativity, and persistence of students
in Guatemala who built their school out of trash inspired
her to write Soda Bottle School, along with co-author Seño
Laura Kutner, a teacher at that school. Some of Suzanne’s
other recent titles include The House That George Built (a
Junior Library Guild Selection, Bank Street College of Education Best Book of the Year) and Climbing Lincoln’s Steps (a
Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Children, Paterson
Prize for Books for Young People). Suzanne lives near Chicago with her husband and two children.
Laura Kutner is the real-life “Seño Laura” in The Soda
Bottle School. She wrote this book because she wanted to
“inspire young readers to believe in themselves and work
together to make the world a better place, and have fun at
the same time.”
Aileen Darragh also illustrated Give a Goat by Jan West
Schrock for Tilbury. She provides volunteer
graphic design services for her
local library and the high
school drama department. She lives in
Sanford, Maine, with
her husband, three
daughters, and two
rescue dogs.

Looking through the tall trees in their backyard in
Maine, Shirin and her dad search for a glimpse of the new
moon, the sign that the month of Ramadan has begun. It
is the time when Muslims all over the world pray, fast, and
focus on good deeds. Nine-year-old Shirin wants to fast like
her parents and older brother Ali, but her parents feel she is
too young. When Shirin catches Ali sneaking food, she has
to decide: Should she tell her parents, or use this as a chance
to do a good deed?

—Kirkus Reviews
Amadi doesn’t believe his mother when she says that
reading will be helpful to him—after all, when he grows
up, he’s going to be a trader, and traders need to know only
how to count money. When he runs to the market to avoid
meeting his tutor, he encounters another boy at a book stall,
reading a book about a strange white animal made of snow.
Amadi discovers that reading would let him learn about that
strange creature, and more.
I believe empathy is the
most essential quality
of civilization.

…a celebration of the beginning of life for humans….
—Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
Boldly painted, strongly colored double-page pictures in
a combination of realism in the foreground and sketchiness in the background show the babies being cherished
in special ways by family and friends. The text describes
each occasion simply, with helpful amplification given
in the notes at the end that identify the cultures and
geographic settings represented. The obvious value and
beauty of each type of welcome should expand children’s
appreciation for and understanding of peoples other
than themselves and of the joy that new births bring.
—School Library Journal
Welcoming Babies shows the diverse ways we treasure
new life around the world—the routines and rituals of a
child’s first year.
The inclusion of nontraditional families—such as
biracial, adoptive, and single-parent—honors diversity and
human bonds.
This remarkable book draws from family and community experiences around the world. As we read about babies
from tiny Luke, who is spending his first days of life in an
incubator, to Kasa, who is being introduced to the sunrise
by her grandmother, we realize that there are many different—and yet strikingly similar—ways to welcome babies.

Gita loves showing Naniji her new home and relishes

Gita’s father announces that he has received a job offer back in
India. Gita has made friends and put down roots in her new
home, but she has also missed her grandmother a lot. This is a
warm and touching story about the meaning of “home.”
This is the most enormous extension of vision of which
life is capable: the projection of itself into other lives.
This is the lonely, magnificent power of humanity.
It is…the supreme epitome of the reaching out.

In a better world, no child would need a book about the
death of her brother. But here is a tender, even joyful
book about such a tragic event.
—Jane Yolen, children’s author
Becky and her brother John were best buddies—until
he died. Now, Becky wishes everything could go back to the
way it was. When she feels guilty about enjoying a friend’s
birthday party, her mom reassures her and says, “Don’t you
think he’d want you to laugh, even now?” She realizes that
she can still enjoy the things that they used to do together
and that the memories of John continue to make him part of
their family.
Even though Davey is blind, he is quite capable—until
he tries to play kickball. After several missed kicks and a
trampled base keeper, no one wants Davey on the team.
But maybe, just maybe, there’s a solution that will work for
everybody.

With this story that amazes while it informs, readers
cannot help but be touched by a singular event in which
an ensnared humpback whale makes a profound connection with her rescuers. … A whale of a tale for sure.
—Kirkus Reviews
This true story of courage and compassion is brought to
life by stunning illustrations. You will be awed and humbled by the deep connections possible between humans
and animals. And you will be inspired to do all you can
to help protect whales.
—Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall
Institute and UN Messenger of Peace
On a cool December morning near San Francisco, a
distress call was radioed to shore by a local fisherman. He
had discovered a humpback whale tangled in hundreds of
yards of crab-trap lines, struggling to stay afloat so that she
could breathe. A team of volunteers answered the call, and
four divers risked their lives to rescue the enormous animal.
What followed was amazing.
This celebrated story, beautifully depicted in Jennifer
O’Connell’s mesmerizing paintings, will make you wonder
about animal emotions and the unique connections we can
have with other animals—even whales.
Jennifer O’Connell is the bestselling author and
illustrator of the picture book, Ten Timid Ghosts. She is
the author of It’s Halloween Night! and the illustrator of A
Garden of Whales, among others. A two-time recipient of
the Christopher Award, Jennifer also creates illustrations for

The Secret Pool is enchanting! I encourage parents,
grandparents, and friends of children everywhere to
read the book with a young one—and then open the
door to see if you can find a vernal pool.
—Cheryl Charles, Ph.D., Co-Founder,
Children & Nature Network
You might walk right by a vernal pool and not notice
it. Often mistaken for mere puddles in the woods, vernal
pools are the source of life for many interesting creatures.
These secret pools form every year when low places on the
forest floor fill up with rain and melted snow. They soon
become home to hatching wood frogs, spotted salamanders,
and fairy shrimp. Even in late summer and fall, when many
vernal pools have shrunk to mud holes, creatures such as
turtles and snakes rely on these places for shelter and food.
Kimberly Ridley is a science writer and editor who
is passionate about the natural world. Rebekah Raye

• Green Earth Book Award, Honor Book
The spirit of rivers comes alive—literally—in Michael J.
Caduto’s charming new children’s book, Riparia’s River.
By gently teaching a small group of children about river
systems and habitats, Riparia empowers the children to
lead a community effort to restore an ecosystem badly
out of balance. The combination of education, empowerment, and action make the book ideal for inspiring readers to care about all water resources.
—Dennis L. Nelson,
President and CEO of the Project WET Foundation
When Gretchen, Jason, Mark, and Daphne find their
favorite swimming hole filled with green slime, they are
horrified. A mysterious naturalist named Riparia helps the
children understand why the water became polluted—and
together they figure out how they can bring clean water back
to the river they all love. This lively story about non-point
source pollution is filled with both information and action.

Yes! Here’s a story that takes us beyond wolves and

many predators, including humans.
—Tom Skeele, The Predator Project
This book is an important first step in teaching children
that there are no ‘bad’ animals. Predators are indeed
fascinating, exciting creatures! Young readers will
understand and appreciate the predator’s place in the
natural world… . It is great to finally have a book that
tackles this important subject.
—John W. Grandy, Ph.D.,

It’s easy to think of predators as “bad” animals. This new
story puts predators in an entirely new light as a sensitive
young girl, shocked and confused by the death of her cat,
learns the roles that predator and prey play in the balance of
nature. Gently and gradually, she comes to understand the
vital roles predators and prey play in the world.

Some people live in the country, where they enjoy

fishes that live in tropical seas (“the city”) and those of cold

Readers will never look at old stones the same way again.
—Debra Briatico, Children’s Literature
What can the rocks in old stone walls tell us about how
the earth’s crust was shaped, melted by volcanoes, carved
by glaciers, and worn by weather? And what can they tell
us about earlier people on the land and the first settlers? As
Adam and his grandfather work together to repair the family
farm’s old stone walls, Adam learns how fthe everyday landscape provides intriguing clues to the past.
This book is a thought-provoking introduction to the
amazing processes that have shaped and continue to shape
Earth, processes that have been recorded in the very stones
under our feet and piled into stone walls. It is an excellent
choice for teachers who want to introduce their students to
Earth science.

Delight and wonder can nourish in a child a lifelong

Puffin…is a book that ought to confirm a child’s delight
in these seabirds. It is the true story of one man’s vision
and devotion.
—Audubon Magazine
Although they may look comical, with their brightly
colored bills and stubby little bodies, Atlantic puffins are
actually an important part of the web of life in the North
Atlantic. Due to human activity, these charming seabirds
had become rare in Maine. Was it possible that puffins
would disappear completely?
This remarkable book chronicles the efforts of biologist
Steven Kress, who with the help of Canadian colleagues
gathered puffin chicks in Newfoundland, Canada, and
transported them to Egg Rock, an island off the Maine
coast that had been a flourishing puffin colony. Would the
puffins return to the island, or would they be drawn back
to island in Canada where their eggs had been laid? This
book, published in cooperation with the National Audubon
Society, tells the story of how a new idea that had never
been tried before brought an iconic species back
to Maine.

—Publishers Weekly
What happens when you fall in love with a three-foottall, 700-pound infant covered with thick black hair? A local
tire dealer had bought the tiny elephant as a promotion
gimmick and Carol quickly volunteered to help care for
her. Tarra was bright, playful, and loved attention, so Carol
taught her to do lots of tricks (including rollerskating and
the hula), and for about twenty years they appeared at circuses, theme parks, and zoos. But Carol began to dream of
a place where elephants from zoos and circuses could just
be elephants, where abused elephants could find a haven,
and where old elephants could live out their days peacefully.
Carol’s dream became a reality when she founded The Elephant Sanctuary, a facility in Tennessee where elephants no
longer have to perform or please crowds. Rather, they can
live out their days in peace and contentment, surrounded by
others of their kind.
