Finnegan Fox





A heartwarming story that offers reassurance to anyone who is hesitant to try new things, giving them permission to take the time they need to feel ready

A heartwarming story that offers reassurance to anyone who is hesitant to try new things, giving them permission to take the time they need to feel ready

Tonight’s the night! It’s the very first time that Finnegan Fox and his brothers and sisters are allowed to venture out of their den. Everyone is bursting with excitement—except for Finnegan, who feels safer staying inside with Mama. Finnegan can hear his siblings having a great time playing outside, but no matter how much they want him to join them, their invitations fall on too-anxious ears. Then a gust of wind carries in a smell that just might be too delicious to resist. Will Finnegan be able to work up the courage to follow it?

Praise for Finnegan Fox


PRAISE FOR LORI NICHOLS
MAPLE
     * "Readers will fall in love with Maple. . . . Lush, leafy illustrations. . . . A fresh addition to the standard new sibling fare, and young naturalists will identify with Maple's adventurous and tender spirit." --SLJ STAR
     * "Free-spirited, bracing sessions of solitary, outdoor fun. . . . A child's world, where . . . private reverie recurs as an all-consuming pastime. . . . Leaf rubbings (from real maple leaves!) dazzle. . . . An arboreal homage perfect for children reveling in alone time or reeling with a new sibling's arrival." --Kirkus STAR
     "An exploration of different kinds of love and different kinds of acceptance." --PW
MAPLE & WILLOW TOGETHER
     * "Raw, real, and easily imagined by any child who's finally had enough from a close friend, classmate, sister, brother (or even mommy or daddy). . . . Strong sibling bonds are perfectly described through spare language and artwork as lush as a forest of maple and willow trees." --Kirkus STAR
     * "Paean to sisterhood. . . . The story is delightfully recognizable. . . . Children will feel all that the girls do: love, anger, and the happiness that comes with making up." --Booklist STAR
MAPLE & WILLOW APART
     * "Illustrations perfectly convey just how close Maple and Willow are. . . . Ideal for sharing with sibling pairs about to be parted by the first day of school." --Kirkus STAR
MAPLE & WILLOW'S CHRISTMAS TREE
     "Nichols admirably captures the sisterly bond, often without words. The ink-and-watercolor artwork is full of real-life emotions. . . . A welcome holiday choice." --Booklist
     "Simple yet satisfying, this story of sibling thoughtfulness and surprise successfully evokes the holiday spirit." --SLJ
      "The story's resolution is creatively festive. . . . [Nichols's] drawings highlight the emotions and energy of these spirited siblings." --Horn Book
THE LIGHT IN ME SEES THE LIGHT IN YOU
     “An exquisitely gentle introduction to loss. . . . Watercolors and colored pencils match tone and mood, page by page. A book built to comfort—not to confront.”Kirkus
