Staff Pick of the Month

If La La Land put you in the mood for another romantic movie musical, give The Umbrellas of Cherbourg a try. Don’t let the subtitles scare you off! In her star-making performance, Catherine Deneuve stars as the daughter of an umbrella shop owner in mid-century France whose first love affair is interrupted when her beau (Nino Castelnuovo) is shipped off to fight in Algeria. The lilting, haunting score evokes the tension and excitement inherent in young love; it sounds like butterflies in your stomach. Director Jacques Demy combines set design and cinematography to paint Cherbourg in bright pinks, purples

and blues. It’s very possibly the most beautiful use of the Technicolor film process. Criterion’s recent remaster means it looks as good now as it did in 1964.

Spotlight On: Kid Lit

We all have our favorite books from childhood. Whether its Charlotte’s Web, Little Women, James and the Giant Peach, or Harry Potter. And it’s not uncommon to lose touch on what’s coming out in children’s literature unless you have kids or work with kids. So this Spotlight on Kids Lit is going to introduce you to new classics; great titles to read, recommend or give as a baby shower or birthday party gift.

Books illustrated by Simms Taback Taback has illustrated many classic nursery rhymes such as There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly and This is the House that Jack Built but it’s his illustrated lift the flap books City Animals, Safari Animals, Dinosaurs and Farm Animals that are a must read for infants through preschool age (0 to age 4). These titles are boldly illustrated, interactive, and perfect for sharing.

Picture Book by Oliver Jeffers Oliver Jeffers has written and/or illustrated over a dozen amazing picture books. The stories are timeless and the artwork includes of pencil, crayon, paint and collage/scrapbook elements. His works appeal to wide age ranges from pre-school through elementary school (roughly ages 3 to 10). The Day the Crayons Quit, which was written by Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Jeffers, personifies various crayons. It is great for sharing with young children especially those who love their crayons (maybe a bit too much). Once Upon An Alphabet, published in 2014, is a slightly twisted ABC book better suited for elementary students (grades 2-4) and is located in our Junior

Book Collection (picture books for kids in grades 2-4). Stuck is a hilarious read aloud about a boy who gets his kite stuck in a tree, while Lost and Found is an adorable and captivating tale of a young boy and the penguin that showed up at his door.

Mercy Watson (series) by: Kate DiCamillo Mercy Watson is a pig and her owners Mr. & Mrs. Watson love her as if she was their own child. The Mercy Watson series has short chapters, and bright illustrations, perfect for those elementary readers (grades 1-4) and focuses on Mercy, her owners and a cast of hilarious characters throughout the neighborhood. The Tales from Deckawoo Drive series takes these neighborhood characters and casts the spotlight on them, this is great additional reading for anyone who has made their way through Mercy Watson BUT you don’t have to have read Mercy to enjoy these delightful books.

Any graphic novel by Raina Telgemeier Raina’s work has taken preteens by storm with her true to life graphic novels, including but not limited to Smile (about getting braces), Sisters (about the strained relationship older and young siblings can have) and Drama (about first crushes and middle school theater). Raina has also illustrated graphic novel versions of the first four Babysitters Club titles. Her illustrations are clear, colorful and her stories read as relatable and universal.

“Here they were grocery shopping in Fairway on a Saturday morning, a normal married thing to do together— although, Graham could not help noticing, they were not doing it together. His wife, Audra, spent almost the whole time talking to people she knew—it was like accompanying a visiting dignitary of some sort, or maybe a presidential hopeful—while he did the normal shopping.” ― Katherine Heiny, Standard Deviation
