Kids Book of The Day:
The Wind in the Willows
Moly, the courteous and altruistic mole, goes out of his quiet underground burrow and reaches the river, tired of his spring cleaning. There, Ratty becomes his friend and accompanies him on his first boat voyage. As these two friends visit the boisterous and pompous Mr.Toad, the proprietor of the Toad Hall, and the compassionate Mr.Badger of the Wild Wood, the fun and adventure begins. Join the quartet as they journey from one adventure to the next, from Mr. Toad’s automobile crashes and imprisonment to the quartet’s battle with the weasels and stoats. The Wind in the Willows, one of the most loved stories in children’s literature, has been delighting readers of all ages for more than a century. It is still as popular as it has always been.

The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise
Five years.
That’s how long Coyote and her dad, Rodeo, have lived on the road in an old school bus, criss-crossing the nation.
It’s also how long ago Coyote lost her mom and two sisters in a car crash.
Coyote hasn’t been home in all that time, but when she learns that the park in her old neighborhood is being demolished—the very same park where she, her mom, and her sisters buried a treasured memory box—she devises an elaborate plan to get her dad to drive 3,600 miles back to Washington state in four days…without him realizing it.
Along the way, they’ll pick up a strange crew of misfit travelers. Lester has a lady love to meet. Salvador and his mom are looking to start over. Val needs a safe place to be herself. And then there’s Gladys…
Over the course of thousands of miles, Coyote will learn that going home can sometimes be the hardest journey of all…but that with friends by her side, she just might be able to turn her “once upon a time” into a “happily ever after.”
