CATCH! written by Trish Cooke and illustrated by Ken Wilson-Max
Writer Trish Cooke and illustrator Ken Wilson-Max both reveal their understanding of preschoolers in CATCH! They begin with a universal situation as young Kiona works to master the art of catching, her caring mother tenderly supporting her efforts as they explore size and texture in a series of unsuccessful attempts—a ball is too big, a berry too small, an apple too hard, a balloon too soft. Each and every situation feels familiar and relatable, as is the learning arc that finds sweet satisfaction as Kiona catches a kiss her mother blows.
