Pirate Captain Rottingbones and his crew are incredibly hungry, but these pirates do not want an ordinary breakfast. They need nice, fresh words! And where is the best place to get them? By stealing them straight off the pages of the world's greatest books. The ravenous band of pirates gobbles up stories left and right, leaving blank pages in their wake. But when Captain Rottingbones and his cronies go after the Word Wizard, they have finally gone too far. They want to steal the extra delicious words from her extra juicy stories, but the Word Wizard and the children she reads to are already on the case. The Word Wizard knows that words are precious things that belong in stories, and she is armed with a weapon far stronger than any pirate sword: a mighty pen. Get ready for a swashbuckling adventure that celebrates the incredible power of reading, creativity, and the magic of a wonderfully told story.

--- Added from Google Books ---
In Snowflakes Fall, Newbery Medalist Patricia MacLachlan and award-winning artist Steven Kellogg portray life’s natural cycle: its beauty, its joy, and its sorrow. Together, the words and pictures offer the promise of renewal that can be found in our lives—snowflakes fall, and return again as raindrops so that flowers can grow. MacLachlan and Kellogg, who are longtime friends, were moved to collaborate on a message of hope for children and their families following the tragic events in Sandy Hook, Connecticut, on December 14, 2012. Kellogg lived in Sandy Hook for thirty-five years—he raised his family there and was an active member of the community. With Snowflakes Fall, they have created a truly inspiring picture book that is both a celebration of life and a tribute to the qualities that make each individual unique. In honor of the community of Sandy Hook and Newtown, Random House, the publisher of Snowflakes Fall, has made a donation to the Sandy Hook School Support Fund. Random House is also donating 25,000 new books to the national literacy organization First Book in the community’s honor and in support of children everywhere.
