Julie Flett

Margaux and May, a large black cat, have known one another since Margaux was six and have grown up together. May usually stays close to home, though she likes exploring the long grass behind the house. When she does not return by dinner, Margaux and her auntie Nitôsis search for her. Nitôsis is preparing to move to the city, and after arriving there she discovers May hiding in an unpacked box. She brings the cat back to a relieved Margaux.

Cover of While We WaitWhile We WaitBee JohnsonTwo girls spend the day accompanying their mother on errands, encountering one wait after another before they even leave home. They pass the time by playing, then wait at the post office, during their mother’s conversation with a friend, and for food at a diner. The diner delay overwhelms them, but the day continues through phone calls, dinner, and bedtime. A note at home suggests that they are also waiting for their father to return.Picture BooksOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
