“Simple, quiet illustrations executed in a soft, elegant, swirling style trace the transition from tawny autumn’s bareness to early winter’s silvery wonderland. Scenes of Mouse, Chipmunk, Skunk, Hare, Badger, Racoon, and, eventually, Small Bear and Mama snuggling safely inside their respective cozy winter dens should provoke useful parallels and opportunities for parents to cajole their little ones to sleep. Reassuring, inviting bedtime fare. ” KIRKUS

Winter is on its way. For bears, that means it’s time to tuck in for a long sleep. But other forest creatures are still awake, so why can’t Small Bear stay up and play, too? Mama Bear gives her small one the cosiest of answers and paints a dreamy picture of bright colours and new adventures that will greet Small Bear come spring. But first, to sleep.

Ramona Kaulitzki is a book illustrator based in Potsdam, Germany who works primarily digitally and has conducted several ADOBE Live sessions, which can be found on YouTube. Follow her on Instagram:

One Little Bird by Sheryl Webster ill. Helen Shoesmith

Words and pictures work particularly well together in this well-designed picture book. The only shame is that it appears to have gone straight into paperback.

When a man cuts down little bird Rosa’s tree, she makes herself a new nest at the top of his house and refuses to budge. News of her protest sweeps through the animal kingdom and it inspires other animals to start moving into people’s homes in protest too! A funny and heartwarming introduction to an important environmental issue and the power we all have when we work together.
