Description:
Grandma's house isn't that big, but there's plenty of room for a tiny world ... When a young boy visits his grandmother's house, he doesn't just see scraps of ribbon lying around, mushrooms clustered behind a log in the forest, or lonely pools hiding along the beach. He sees tiny worlds, where pie tins become playgrounds, ants become farmers, and ponds and puddles teem with life waiting to be found. Tiny worlds are full of whimsy and imagination, but there is one problem: he seems to be the only one who sees them. While at first Grandma keeps trying to draw him out, eventually she realizes that even tiny worlds are big enough to share. (2/19)

Description:
The journey begins with the roar of the subway from the street above, as the child and their mom descend to the dilapidated platform below. The child feels a rush of air as the train pulls in, people stepping on board just in time! Sights and sounds include the dark tunnel and screeching wheels, then the train suddenly breaks out into bright daylight high above the city. All the while, the child takes in the passengers around them -- people on their way to work, kids going to school, and "the sleeper," whom no one else seems to see. At Union Station, the child accompanies their mom from restaurant to restaurant as she looks for work, before they journey home.

Mr. Chow lives for the night, when the moon is a wok full of simmering oil. Too bad he owns a supermarket and has to wake up very, very early. Mr. Chow hates mornings and so does his store: The shopping carts are sluggish, the front door yawns, and the pomelos roll down the aisle in a sleepy daze. When disaster strikes, Mr. Chow seeksadvice from other workers and the similarly buoyant, anthropomorphic buildings they work in. And soon, he discovers that his store doesn't have to be a morning market ... it can be a night market! ... a whimsical myth about how the very first Taiwanese night market was created. (5/5
