Aunt Zinnia and Lucy spend their days in a magical garden filled with dragonflies, butterflies, and all manner of lush, beautiful flowers. But how did these flowers ever come to be? Curious Lucy wants to know, so she plants seeds in little pots and waits for them to grow. Of course, in her quest to learn the flowers' secret, Lucy also must learn patience.
Depicting the enchantment of nature through full-color illustrations, award-winning author Mireille Levert tells a tale sure to motivate young children to try Lucy's experiment for themselves - and to learn from their own experience that plants need time to grow.

Eddie Longpants is big, really big, with long legs, enormous feet, and gangly arms that dangle down from his shoulders and bump into everything. At school, his classmates find new and interesting ways to bully him each day, calling him a giraffe, a flagpole, or a stepladder. When their name-calling becomes too painful, Eddie takes refuge under his favorite tree. But one day the bullying goes too far and the teacher takes notice. Now Eddie must decide whether to turn the tables on his tormentors or show them that there’s more than one way to behave. Mireille Levert's lush illustrations illuminate this fresh and gentle story that teaches children to appreciate their differences and celebrate diversity.

This is the sequel to the popular and celebrated Jeremiah and Mrs. Ming, which won several international awards for illustration.
Jeremiah now visits Mrs. Ming, his erstwhile babysitter, as she works through her household chores. Jeremiah wants to help. He sweeps for a few moments, then gallops away on the broom. He tucks a bit of blanket under a mattress, then bounces high enough on the bed to reach the ceiling. He puts away groceries, then builds a tower of cans and challenges Mrs. Ming to knock it down!
Mrs. Ming does! She bounces with Jeremiah on the bed; she follows him on her broom; she hides from him as he chases her. Playing with Jeremiah is much more fun than housework. Jeremiah has made her day.
