Here’s the set-up:

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them meets Neil Gaiman in this “striking and heartfelt” (Kirkus Reviews) novel about an Iranian American girl who discovers that her father was secretly a veterinarian to magical creatures—and that she must take up his mantle, despite the many dangers.

Once was, once wasn’t.

So began the stories Marjan’s father told her as a little girl—fables like the story of the girl who sprung a unicorn from a hunter’s snare, or the nomad boy who rescued a baby shirdal. Tales of mythical beasts that filled her with curiosity and wonder.

But Marjan’s not a little girl anymore. In the wake of her father’s sudden death, she is trying to hold it all together: her schoolwork, friendships, and keeping her dad’s shoestring veterinary practice from going under. Then, one day, she receives a visitor who reveals something stunning: Marjan’s father was no ordinary veterinarian. The creatures out of the stories he told her were real—and he traveled the world to care for them. And now that he’s gone, she must take his place.

Marjan steps into a secret world hidden in plain sight, where magical creatures are bought and sold, treasured and trapped. She finds friends she never knew she needed—a charming British boy who grew up with a griffon, a runaway witch seeking magic and home—while trying to hide her double life from her old friends and classmates.

The deeper Marjan gets into treating these animals, the closer she comes to finding who killed her father—and to a shocking truth that will reawaken her sense of wonder and put humans and beasts in the gravest of danger.

Here’s the set-up:

The classic tale of a Japanese boy orphaned by a tsunami from the author of The Good Earth, the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
On a mountainside in Japan, two boys enjoy a humble life governed by age-old customs. Jiya belongs to a family of fishermen; his best friend, Kino, farms rice. But when a neighboring volcano erupts and a tidal wave swallows their village—including Jiya’s family—life as they know it is changed forever. The orphaned Jiya must learn to come to terms with his grief. Now facing a profoundly different life than the one he’d always taken for granted, he must decide on a new way forward. Written with graceful simplicity, The Big Wave won the Children’s Book Award of the Child Study Association of America when it was first released. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author’s estate.

Here’s the set-up:

In a quiet little glade in the middle of the wood,
Lived a quirky little turkey who was up to no good!

Bound and determined to outshine the other turkeys, Quirky lands himself in dangerous situation…again and again. Will he listen to his friends as they use kindness and courage to show him that true beauty is not found in how we look on the outside but from what is in our hearts? Or, will his pride be the end of him?

Author Toni Wilson, drawing on her teaching expertise, has crafted Quirky the Turkey with all the essentials educators love in classroom books: vibrant illustrations, engaging read-alouds that invite student participation, and key academic concepts like rhyme, rhythm, prediction, and color recognition. Teachers and parents can also expand the learning with free resources available on the His Arrowsmith website.

Inspired by the character lessons found in beloved classics like The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister and Last Stop on Market Street by Matt de la Pena, Quirky the Turkey combines whimsical rhymes with playful humor reminiscent of The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. This lively, colorful story will have children laughing while they learn the timeless truth that true beauty shines from within.
