That wonderful book Drawn From Nature (June 13, 2018 post) sent me looking for craft books. While not especially crafty myself, it is fun to look to projects others might try. Here's what I found: Organic Crafts: 75 Earth-Friendly Art Activities, by Kimberly Monaghan. The projects look like fun, the directions look easy to follow, and there are 'Nature Notes' scattered throughout ... which were great for this non-crafty person to read. :-)

Talons of Power is the ninth book in the Wings of Fire series by Tui T. Sutherland. It's another exciting adventure, but a bit darker this time. As other young dragons come under the influence of Darkstalker (once thought long dead), Turtle decides to stay hidden as he figures out what to do. How should great power be used? What constitutes a hero? Again, this is a great series!

And finally today, a book I've being trying to find for some time now: Red Light, Green Light, by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Leonard Weisgard. I remember reading it over and over when I was a kid and it's just as good now! (This doesn't always happen so I've learned to be careful about reading childhood favorites). Although I did not realize this at the time, it was a book about traffic safety ... I just liked the pictures!
