"The Rainbow Fish" was written and illustrated by Marcus Pfister.

This beautiful story follows a shiny fish with sparkling scales who learns the joy of sharing with others. At first, he keeps his bright scales to himself, but he soon discovers that friendship is more important than having everything.

With its eye-catching illustrations and meaningful message, the book helps young readers learn about kindness, sharing, and building friendships.

"I Ain’t Gonna Paint No More!" was written and illustrated by Karen Beaumont and illustrated by David Catrow.

This fun and silly story follows a boy who just can’t stop painting—even when he runs out of space on paper! He ends up painting himself from head to toe in bright, colorful designs.

With its catchy rhyme and playful illustrations, the book helps young readers enjoy rhythm, creativity, and self-expression.
