I Used to Be a Duck
"I used to be a duck! I used to be a duck!" my three year old daughter exclaimed.I was pregnant with my fourth child and my older children were thrilled to follow the gestational development of their new baby brother week by week. That week we learned from my pregnancy app that the baby had webbed hands and feet. My kids didn't know what "webbed" meant so I told them it was like how duck feet are. That's when my sweet Lexi swirled her arms around jubilantly and told me that she used to be a duck and she swam around in my tummy.Lexi experienced the pregnancy every step of the way through the imaginative eyes of a child. This story started as Lexi's story of being a big sister to her baby brother before she even saw him or held him. After baby Damien was born she wrapped her arms around him for the first time with a love and familiarity that made it clear that she had known him for months.Lexi's candid genius was seeing that her relationship with her brother predated his birth. Human beings are suspended and supported in existence through the intricate twining of relationships. The intimate relationship between mother and child is obvious in pregnancy. It is a profound nudity within nudity that binds the mother and child in a mysterious unity. But that is not the only relationship; that is what Lexi taught me.Damien grew into a tot and our family welcomed a new baby, Baby Bridget. Then it was Damien's turn to be a big brother and experience the awe of baby Bridget growing week by week. Lexi's story became Damien's story as he delighted in his new baby sister.Every child in the womb is already embedded in human relationships. That child has a whole web of familial relationships that extend into the womb and bind the child to this world.I hope that this story, Damien's story, speaks to your child and inspires the love of a new baby sibling. Congratulations to you! Congratulations to the new big brother! And congratulations to all of the new grandmas, grandpas, cousins, aunts, uncles, and family ties that hold us dearly our whole lives.

Let's Get Together
Boston Globe-Horn Book Award-winning author Brandy Colbert gives The Parent Trap a fresh, funny, and delightfully unexpected update in this story of two girls--one raised by her single father, the other in the foster care system--who meet by chance...only to discover they're identical twins.Kenya Norwood likes things just the way they are. She's lived all her life in Pasadena with her dad and grandmother, she's attended the same school with the same friends since pre-K, and she's always the center of attention.

Her mother disappeared when she was a toddler, and ever since, she's never stayed in one place for very long. But things seem different with her new foster mother, Joey. Maybe in this home, in this school, change won't come so quickly.Except everything changes the day Liberty and Kenya meet--and discover they are identical.Neither of them is ready to find out she has a twin sister (in fact, they're unsure if they even want one), and when the girls learn the truth of how they were separated, it's clear that no one else in their lives was ready for this, either. But the connection they share might be even stronger than the things that kept them apart--and teaming up might be the only way to set everything right.

The 13th Day of Christmas
A partridge in a pear tree? Ten lords a-leaping? Now who would want such gifts? And more importantly--why would they be given? Adam Rex investigates in this hilariously heart-warming tale based on one of the best-loved Christmas carols. Our hero is having a lonesome Christmas away from his true love. So when she sends him a gift, of course he loves it--even if a partridge in a pear tree wasn't exactly on his wishlist. Twelve days later, his home is crowded with more birds, milkmaids, pipers, and other guests than he can possibly make sense of. Why would his true love think he'd like this?! His search for answers transforms the disaster into a source of joy for the whole town--complete with a parade, a circus, and a fundraiser for the school library. By the time his true love gets home, the man finally understands what she's given him: the true meaning of Christmas. But she has no idea what he's talking about-- the whole thing was a wacky online shopping mixup. All she'd meant to buy was a pair of gold engagement rings. She meant to propose! Adam Rex, creator of School's First Day of School and many other beloved books for children, strikes again with this hilarious twist on the classic carol The Twelve Days of Christmas. Sardonic and earnest in equal measures, The Thirteenth Day of Christmas is a hit for any day of the year. A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
