BITS AND PIECES
SCHACHNER, JUDY
Tink has everything he ever wanted – delicious treats, hugs and kisses, and even a kitten to raise. The
only thing missing is wild outdoor adventure. So when the opportunity arises, Tink sneaks out – and
becomes an outdoor cat for one unforgettable night. Like cozy favorites such as Clare Turlay Newberry's
Marshmallow and Mo Willems' City Dog, Country Frog, and with soft, meltingly tender illustrations that
match the poignant tale, Judy Schachner proves what a superlative storyteller she is with this loving
family story.

THE BLESSING CUP
POLACCO, PATRICIA
As a young Russian Jewish girl in the early 1900s, Anna and her family lived in fear of the Czar’s soldiers.
The family lived a hard life and had few possessions—their treasure was a beautiful china tea set. A
wedding gift to Anna’s parents, the tea set came with a wish that “Anyone who drinks from this will have
blessings from God. They will never know a day of hunger. Their lives will always have flavor. They will
know love and joy and they will never be poor.” When Anna’s family leaves Russia for America, they bring
the tea set and its blessings. A source of heritage and security, the tea set helps Anna’s family make
friends and find better lives in America. A cup from the tea set—The Blessing Cup—became an anchor of
family history, and it remains a symbol of lasting love more than a century later.
