Pea Pod Lullaby by Glenda Millard - OPTIONAL

Pea Pod Lullaby by Glenda Millard, illustrated by Stephen Michael King, PICTURE BOOK Candlewick Press, 2017 $17 1536201979

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW 

A small family is fleeing war, and boards a rickety boat, sailing for many days. Along the way they give a polar bear a ride back to her cubs. 

The illustrations tell the story of the journey, the text takes it to a new level - it's about caring. Caring for our family, refugees, animals, our planet, each other. So many layers in this simple picture book, however, I think the intended audience will find it strange.
