Books for the Seaside Reader THE SEASIDE READER One Morning in Maine, by Robert McCloskey When young Sal wakes up and discovers that she has a wiggly tooth, questions arise. Will Sal still be able to go to Buck's Harbor with her father as planned? What will she wish for when her tooth falls out? Will she be able to keep her wish a secret? A loon, a seal and other wildlife are invited to weigh in on her news, and the reader to take part in Sal's sense of anticipation and wonder, as she wanders down the shore to join her father at clam-digging. The beauty of the Maine coast together with the intimacy of its domestic interiors are conveyed through McCloskey's signature pen-and-ink drawings, which excel at portraiture, the personalities of Sal, her family members and the village characters clear-cut on every page. First published in 1952, this Caldecott Honor Book, is by the celebrated author of "Make Way for Ducklings" and "Blueberries for Sal." Tommy's Mommy's Fish by Nancy Dingman Watson Set on the wind-swept bluffs and sandy slopes of an ocean beach in Truro, Nancy Dingman Watson's story follows Tommy on his hunt for a birthday gift for his mother. Bayberries to make a candle with? Beach plums for jelly? A stack of fresh- cut logs for the fireplace? His siblings offer to split their own gifts with Tommy, but he wants to come up with something special all by himself. So begins a surfcasting adventure that lasts through sunset and into the full-moon-lit night, until a "rackety-splashety way out in the water" signals that Tommy's birthday mission is almost complete. Oil paintings by Watson's son, the Truro artist Thomas A.D. Watson, capture the rich light and hues of Cape Cod in early autumn, and the story itself is a lesson in the rewards of simplicity, persistence, and humility before nature, with some insight into the Cape's back shore traditions thrown in. Flotsam, by David Wiesner A curious boy’s exploration of the seaside takes a magical turn when a mysterious object washes up at his feet. Closer inspection reveals it to be an underwater camera, brand name "Melville," and when the boy runs into town to develop the film, he comes away with a stack of photographs of scenes from the secret lives of the creatures that live in the ocean. Wiesner's wordless picture book unfolds through a sequence of paintings which become increasingly lush and fantastical in their portrayal of the hidden underwater world, and the last snapshot the boy pulls from the envelope contains the biggest surprise of all. A Caldecott winner from the author of "Mr. Wuffles" and "Tuesday." Book reviews by Kaimi Lum, assistant library director 2 THE SEASIDE READER The Mousehole Cat, by Antonia Barber When a storm grounds the fishing fleet of the Cornish village of Mousehole, Mowzer the cat and the amiable mariner who owns him embark on a daring voyage to save the villagers from starving. Told from the cat's point of view, the story is full of the relish of the tastes of the sea--of "star-gazy pies with prime pilchards in pastry" and "morgy-broth murmuring on top of the range"--as well as a feline sense of its wonders and dangers. The latter is embodied by the great Storm Cat who prowls offshore and plays cruelly with the boats that stray under his paws, but Mowzer's instinctive understanding of the Storm Cat comes to aid in a pivotal moment during their perilous fishing trip. Barber's lyrical storytelling combined with Nicole Bayley's luminous, color-saturated artwork elevate this Cornish folk tale to a classic piece of children's literature. Hello Lighthouse, by Sophie Blackall Step into a lighthouse and experience life as its keeper, tending the lamp, writing in the logbook, fishing for cod from the window, and watching the horizon. The vertical format of Blackall's Caldecott-medal winning picture book allows her to present intricate cross-sections of the lighthouse while leaving room to depict the shifting moods of the sea that surrounds it: fog drifts in, whales pass by, pink sunsets tinge the whitecaps and storms whip the waves into Hokusai-like hills of water. Repetition and gently rhythmic language - "The wind takes a deep breath and blows and blows ... the fog rolls in, and the fog rolls out ..." echo the cyclical feel of lighthouse life, while Blackall's Chinese ink and watercolor illustrations bring fresh detail to each page. We follow the keeper as he starts out alone at his post, then is joined by his wife and eventually a baby daughter; as he rescues shipwreck victims, falls ill, writes letters and goes about his daily chores. This is a picture book that you can read again and again with your child, each time discovering something new to love in its pages. Island Boy, by Barbara Cooney Acclaimed author-illustrator Barbara Cooney creates a portrait of life on the Maine coast through the character of Matthais, the youngest in a family of 12 children, who grows up on Tibbetts Island, fishing with his Pa, collecting shorebirds' eggs, learning to plough and hunt and chop wood, and sitting under the apple tree his mother planted, "think[ing] about his smallness." When Matthais gets bigger he becomes a schooner captain and sails to faraway places, but he returns to Tibbets Island to raise a family of his own while adapting to the changes that "city people" are bringing to the coast. Time seems to stand still in Cooney's distinctively folksy, soft-edged illustrations that create such a vivid sense of place, and the story is told in clean, crisp prose with a subtle emotional intensity. 3 THE SEASIDE READER Other titles Fish and Fishermen The Little Fisherman: A Fish Story by Margaret Wise Brown, illus.

  • The Caldecott Medal 2021
    Caldecott Medal Books oppl.org/kids-lists The Caldecott Medal is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children. It is given to the illustrator of the most distinguished American picture book published the preceding year. The name of Randolph Caldecott, an English illustrator of books for children, was chosen for the medal because his work best represented the “joyousness of picture books as well as their beauty.” The horseman on the medal is taken from one of Caldecott’s illustrations for “The Diverting History of John Gilpin” (1878). The medal was originally donated by publisher Frederic G. Melcher (1879–1963), and is now donated by his son, Daniel. 1939 Mei Li Handforth 1972 One Fine Day Hogrogian 1940 Abraham Lincoln d’Aulaire 1973 The Funny Little Woman Lent 1941 They Were Strong and Good Lawson 1974 Duffy and the Devil Zemach 1942 Make Way for Ducklings McCloskey 1975 Arrow to the Sun McDermott 1943 The Little House Burton 1976 Why Mosquitoes Buzz in 1944 Many Moons Slobodkin People’s Ears Dillon 1945 Prayer for a Child Jones 1977 Ashanti to Zulu: 1946 The Rooster Crows Petersham African Traditions Dillon 1947 The Little Island Weisgard 1978 Noah’s Ark Spier 1948 White Snow, Bright Snow Duvoisin 1979 Girl Who Loved Wild Horses Goble 1949 The Big Snow Hader 1980 Ox-Cart Man Cooney 1950 Song of the Swallows Politi 1981 Fables Lobel 1951 The Egg Tree Milhous 1982 Jumanji Van Allsburg 1952 Finders Keepers Mordvinoff 1983 Shadow Brown 1953 The Biggest Bear Ward 1984 The Glorious Flight Provensen 1954 Madeline’s Rescue
