K-3
By Stephen Krensky
Illustrated by Brad Sneed

Introduced by Miriam Cohen

Rufus does not like school at first. He loves being a wolf and doing wolf stuff- like howling at the moon and running through the woods. But Rufus, like all wolves, must go to school to learn real wolf “work”, like wearing clever disguises and speaking sheep. While Rufus learns, he also teaches: Sometimes you have to cut loose and learn to be yourself!

The Golden Rule
All Ages
By Ilene Cooper
Illustrated by Gabi Swiatkowska

A grandfather and his young grandson discover some words posted on a wall:

DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU

The Golden Rule. It can be found in all the world’s religions and in every culture. It’s easy to say and remember, but what does it really mean? And how can you live by it? Ilene Cooper’s universal story captures the importance and rewards of a rule that’s simple…yet not always easy to follow.
