The Journey of Yuan and Kian is a whimsical children's picture book about a land unicorn, Yuan, and a sea unicorn (or narwhal), Kian, and how they created the stars in the pitch-black sky. Yuan's job is to poke holes in the soil with his horn so that people can plant seeds and grow fruits and vegetables. Kian's job is to poke holes in the ocean with his horn so that the marine animals can get some air. When Yuan meets Kian, they form an immediate friendship and help each other dig holes faster so they can have time to play after work. Unfortunately, the evenings are dark and they realize that no one can play after sunset. With some help from the other animals, they find a way to add light to the night sky, allowing playtime to last longer. This children's picture book has a touch of magic and its connection to folktales and fables will be enjoyed and admired by kids who like a meaningful story and dreaming big. With its message of "when you believe, you are," The Journey of Yuan and Kian definitely deserves its place on children's bookshelves.

The Tale of Was and Das tells the hilariously funny story of two friends: an orphan gypsy boy, Was, and his German shepherd, Das. The boy and the dog live at the dumpster halfway between Fartsville and Burptown - an area where, ironically, the people come for fresh air. The dumpster provides the boy and the dog with shelter, toys, and books. The pair fell in love with children's books, especially picture books about dinosaurs. They decide to use materials from the dumpster to build Thesaurus, the biggest dinosaur in the world. Thesaurus becomes a tourist attraction and brings Fartsvillians and Burptownians together. This children's book is the only one of the 2GETHER picture book collection that is not illustrated by Marin; Peter Stan, a prolific European illustrator created the entertaining artwork for this title.

Weeny Meeny's Halloween is a magical children's book about a young witch who just turned 1,000 years old and the way she celebrates Halloween. She isn't a toddler anymore and much to her excitement, she is allowed to do lots of things by herself. Weeny Meeny noticed that the older witches in Witchtown always flew in the air and nobody bothered to clean the streets. They were littered with garbage and covered in weeds. Weeny Meeny and her pets, a black cat and a black crow, wanted to do something extraordinary. They wanted to make the streets spotless, shiny, and accessible just in time for Halloween. With a little sprinkle of magic, they got the job done and everyone in Witchtown is happy!
