From Caldecott Honoree and two-time Geisel Award–winning author-illustrator Corey R. Tabor, this is a fresh and funny young graphic novel series sure to delight readers. Perfect for fans of Catwad, Bird & Squirrel, and Narwhal & Jelly.

Ladies and gentlebugs, presenting the duke of the dandelion patch, champion of truth and justice, the one, the only—Sir Ladybug!

Sir Ladybug never shies away from a quest, even when he’d rather be playing a video game or baking a cake. So when a caterpillar needs rescuing from a “monster” (a hungry chickadee), Sir Ladybug and his trusty friends—his herald, a roly-poly named Pell, and his squire, a snail named Sterling—hatch the perfect (delicious) plan.

This is the first in a new graphic novel series for newly independent readers, following the adventures of a ladybug knight and his pals in the dandelion patch.

Woven seamlessly into this funny and surprising story are the themes of friendship, bravery, teamwork, creative thinking, and helping others. With warmth and heart, surprising and delightful asides, and memorable cast of characters, this new series will appeal to avid and reluctant readers alike.

Throughout the pages of Our School is a Family, various members of their school community are represented. Here’s a little sneak peek of just a few of those important school staff members, illustrated by Sandie Sonke.

The book can be helpful in introducing the different roles of school staff. Especially to younger students, or students who may be new to the school.

And even for the students who are already familiar with certain staff members, it reinforces that secure feeling of having multiple grown-ups who are there to help and support them in various ways.

The book could even help lead to an increase in positive interactions between students and staff.

Upon reading the page above, students may feel more inspired to show extra appreciation for the helpers at their school. You could possibly re-visit some of the pages in the book during certain appreciate days during the school year. For example, during Librarian Appreciation Week, it’d be helpful to re-read the page about the school librarian. You might do this prior to having your class make thank-you cards for him/her.

And when seeing many of these same figures from the book at their own school in “real life,” students might go out of their way to say hello to someone they wouldn’t have otherwise. While that’s a seemingly small action, it’s those kinds of things that add up to a big “win” when it comes to school community-building.
