Book 1: The False Prince - Available Now (Scholastic)
*** NOW A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING BOOK! ***
THE FALSE PRINCE is the thrilling first book in a brand-new trilogy filled with danger and deceit and hidden identities that will have readers rushing breathlessly to the end. In a discontent kingdom, civil war is brewing. To unify the divided people, Conner, a nobleman of the court, devises a cunning plan to find an impersonator of the king's long-lost son and install him as a puppet prince. Four orphans are recruited to compete for the role, including a defiant boy named Sage. Sage knows that Conner's motives are more than questionable, yet his life balances on a sword's point - he must be chosen to play the prince or he will certainly be killed. But Sage's rivals have their own agendas as well.

As Sage moves from a rundown orphanage to Conner's sumptuous palace, layer upon layer of treachery and deceit unfold, until finally, a truth is revealed that, in the end, may very well prove more dangerous than all of the lies taken together.

An extraordinary adventure filled with danger and action, lies and deadly truths that will have readers clinging to the edge of their seats.

Now in paperback, this #1 BookSense Pick follows the young orphan Peter and his mates as they are dispatched to an island ruled by the evil King Zarboff in this fast-paced, impossible-to-put-down adventure.
Book Synopsis Best-selling authors Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson have turned back the clock and revealed a wonderful story that precedes J. M. Barrie's beloved Peter Pan.
In an evocative and fast-paced adventure on the high seas and on a faraway island, an orphan boy named Peter and his mysterious new friend, Molly, overcome bands of pirates and thieves in their quest to keep a fantastical secret safe and save the world from evil.

This riveting adventure takes listeners on a journey from a harsh orphanage in old England to a treacherous sea in a decrepit old tub. Aboard the Never Land is a trunk that holds a magical substance with the power to change the fate of the world - just a sprinkle and wounds heal; just a dusting and people can fly. Towering seas and a violent storm are the backdrop for battles at sea. Bone-crushing waves eventually land our characters on Mollusk Island - where the action really heats up.

Peter and the Starcatchers is brimming with richly developed characters, from the scary but somehow familiar Black Stache and the ferocious Mister Grin to the sweet but sophisticated Molly and the fearless Peter.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In this clever picture-book retelling of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," Chinese New Year starts with Goldy Luck's mother asking her to bring turnip cakes to their panda neighbors, the Chans. Goldy heads next door, promptly spilling her plate of turnip cakes as she walks in the front door; from there, things unfold as might be expected. She eats up Little Chan's rice porridge, breaks his rocking chair, and falls asleep on his futon. Goldy Luck's conscience gets the better of her, though, and she learns some valuable lessons about friendship and being a good neighbor. Zong's acrylic cartoon-style illustrations benefit from well-balanced one- and two-page spreads. Red, a color strongly associated with Chinese New Year and symbolic of good luck, is used as a motif throughout; fittingly, Goldy Luck wears a red sweater and tights. Employing complementary and analogous colors provides balance, and the illustrations are appealing and humorous without being over-the-top. This is a fun retelling of a familiar tale with Chinese-American characters and cultural references, using the celebration of Chinese/Lunar New Year as the backdrop for a story that can be enjoyed year round. An author's note about Chinese New Year and a recipe for turnip cakes are appended.

-School Library Journal April 2014

Set in a contemporary city, Natasha Yim and Grace Zong's Goldy Luck and the Three Pandas (Charlesbridge, 2014) stars a protagonist with shining coal-black locks, a bad habit of breaking things, and-despite her name-a lack of good luck. On Chinese New Year, her mother wakes Goldy up before breakfast and sends her to their neighbors' apartment with a plate of turnip cakes and Kung Hei Fat Choi wishes. After knocking on the door, Goldy gently pushes it open, trips, and spills the goodies all over the floor. As she searches for the broom, she spots three steaming bowls of congee and, tummy rumbling, decides to taste the rice porridge. So it goes, until the Chan family-three pandas, of course-returns to discover a big mess and Goldy sound asleep on Little Chan's futon. Back at home, she thinks about her actions, and, truly embracing the spirit of this start-the-year-fresh holiday, decides to set things right. Themes of friendship and forgiveness resound, as Goldy makes amends and is invited to bake a new batch of turnip cakes (a recipe and information about Chinese New Year customs are appended). The text playfully incorporates festive food-related similes (Goldy feels "like stuffing in a pork bun" in Mrs. Chan's upholstered armchair), and both narrative and acrylic artwork abound with details of Chinese-American culture.

From IMDiversity.com
One of my first Asian American "Ah ha!" moments came when reading Maxine Hong Kingston's "Woman Warrior" the scene where she wonders why people think that Chinese American girls are nice and quiet, when Chinese women are so bossy and loud. She describes Cantonese women eating and gesturing and talking loudly in very guttural Cantonese in restaurants. Suddenly something clicked in my head. I had also always struggled to live up to the nice and quiet Chinese girl image, while my six aunties and six great aunties are certainly nothing if not bossy and loud, every last one of them bossier and louder than the next (and we don't even speak Cantonese). No delicate cherry blossom Madame Butterfly types here. Without a friend or a book to note the obvious, however, I had completely missed that contradiction that was right in front of me my whole life.

Grace Lin's debut novel, The Year of the Dog, part memoir part fiction, is another book full of these "Ah ha!" moments that both our children and we will appreciate. The book is written for an elementary to middle school audience, but the adventures and questions of these plucky second-grade characters will resonate with us all. Author Grace Lin writes that this is the book she wished she had had when she was growing up. I wish I had had it, too.

These days there are more and more APA picture books, historical APA books, and APA middle/high school coming-of-age novels on the market, but I think there is a still a real paucity of books for those children who can already read by themselves (about second to sixth grades) but are not quite ready to learn about the harsh realities of racism, bullying, popularity, and dating. (There is Lensey Namioka's series of books about the irrepressible Yang family learning to adjust to life in America, Lawrence Yep's The Imp that Ate my Homework and Chinatown Mysteries series, and Lisa Yee's Millicent Min Girl Genius.) This is the perfect book for that age group. (My first, fourth, and sixth graders all highly recommend it, and they never enjoy the same books.)

In The Year of the Dog, many identity issues are handled with humor, grace and ease. The main character is not rebellious or traumatized or tortured (except by her older sister), but she does wonder aloud about a lot about things. She tries to make sense of situations that we have all been through showing our children that they are not the only one,like being mistaken for the one other Chinese girl in school, deciphering seemingly crazy family customs (and family members), being forced to go to Chinese family camp to make Chinese friends, trying to figure out the difference between being Chinese and Taiwanese, and trying to understand why there are no Chinese American characters in books or plays.

Parents will appreciate that the mother is written with wisdom and calm,meaning not crazy, full of stories that show that even though she grew up in Taiwan, she understands her child's experience in America. The father is funny and written with good humor. Both parents are smart, easy-going, English-speaking, middle-class professionals.

The story also features two,count them, TWO!,Chinese-American protagonists and their families, both of which are very different,again showing our children that not all Chinese Americans are alike, one child speaks Chinese and the other does not; one mother can cook and the other cannot; one child is in the orchestra and one child is in the school play. One child is slightly "more Chinese" than the other, but they learn and figure things out together.

The book is also really laugh-out-loud funny! The writing is easy and colorful and obviously written by an artist: "After the book project was over, the days disappeared like dumplings on a plate. The sun shone with the yellow of summer and the wind blew a breeze that felt like it came from an oven." The pages are also punctuated with Grace Lin's delightful line drawings including instructions on "How to Draw a Dog."

Everyone simply must read this book!
Frances Kai-Hwa Wang

From Publisher's Weekly
Lin, best known for her picture books, here offers up a charming first novel, an autobiographical tale of an Asian-American girl's sweet and funny insights on family, identity and friendship. When her family celebrates Chinese New Year, ringing in the Year of the Dog, Pacy (Grace is her American name) wonders what the coming months will bring. Her relatives explain that the Year of the Dog is traditionally the year when people "find themselves," discovering their values and what they want to do with their lives. With big expectations and lots of questions, the narrator moves through the next 12 months trying to figure out what makes her unique and how she fits in with her family, friends and classmates. Pacy experiences some good luck along the way, too, winning a contest that will inspire her career (Lin's fans will recognize the prize submission, The Ugly Vegetables, as her debut children's book). Lin creates an endearing protagonist, realistically dealing with universal emotions and situations. The well-structured story, divided into 29 brief chapters, introduces traditional customs (e.g., Hong Bao are special red envelopes with money in them, given as New Year's presents), culture and cuisine, and includes several apropos "flashback" anecdotes, mainly from Pacy's mother. The book's inviting design suggests a journal, and features childlike spot illustrations and a typeface with a hand- lettered quality. Girls everywhere, but especially those in the Asian-American community, will find much to embrace here. Ages 8-12. (Feb.)

From Booklist
Gr. 3-5. When Lin was a girl, she loved the Betsy books by Carolyn Hayward, a series about a quintessentially American girl whose days centered around friends and school. But Lin, a child of Taiwanese immigrants, didn't see herself in the pages. Now she has written the book she wished she had as a child. Told in a simple, direct voice, her story follows young Grace through the Year of the Dog, one that Grace hopes will prove lucky for her. And what a year it is! Grace meets a new friend, another Asian girl, and together they enter a science fair, share a crush on the same boy, and enjoy special aspects (food!) of their heritage. Grace even wins fourth place in a national book-writing contest and finds her true purpose in life. Lin, who is known for her picture books, dots the text with charming ink drawings, some priceless, such as one picturing Grace dressed as a munchkin. Most of the chapters are bolstered by anecdotes from Grace's parents, which connect Grace (and the reader) to her Taiwanese heritage. Lin does a remarkable job capturing the soul and the spirit of books like those of Hayward or Maud Hart Lovelace, reimagining them through the lens of her own story, and transforming their special qualities into something new for today's young readers.

From The Asian Reporter
What does it mean when it's the Year of the Dog?" asks Pacy, the narrator of Grace Lin's first novel, as she teaches her little sister how to draw a dog while her mother and big sister prepare the Chinese New Year dinner. "Well, in the Year of the Dog you find your best friends," answers big sister Lissy. Mom adds, "Since dogs are also honest and sincere, it's a good year to find yourself."

Turns out that Pacy finds even more than she had hoped for, and The Year of the Dog is a wonderful, "mostly true" autobiographical novel by the author and illustrator of seven books for children, including The Ugly Vegetables, which plays an important part in this novel.

While Pacy's friendships and quest to figure out what she wants to be when she grows up are at the center of The Year of the Dog, there are also a number of amusing and enlightening family stories, including "How Grandpa Got Rich," "The Paper Piano," and "Uncle Shin and the Special Cake."

Pacy's family will keep you in stitches. Lissy tells Pacy that she didn't deserve a Red Egg party because she was "the worst baby." They had to put a tube on your ankle and put you in a plastic box." When Pacy wants to know if Mom will cry if she wins a book contest, the way Pacy's grandmother cried when Pacy's mother played a piano solo, Dad quips, "We'll all cry! I'll buy a box of Kleenex just for the occasion."

Grace Lin's black and white illustrations are just right. They all have captions, and include not only scenes from the story but a school lunch, how to color an egg red, and a mean girl's drawing of a Twinkie. She knows how to turn a phrase, too. Here's how Pacy describes early spring: "The snow had melted away for good and had left everything smelling like a wet towel."

Did you know that, on Chinese New Year, "the longer you stay awake, the longer your parents' lives will be?" Were you aware that only women are supposed to eat yellow ginger and chicken soup? Have you seen Chinese vegetables that look like "warty frogs" and "purple sausages?"

In an author's note following the story, Grace Lin explains that she wrote this book "because it was the book I wished I had had when I was growing up, a book that had someone like me in it."

"The Year of the Dog had been a great year," Pacy realizes as she prepares to greet the Year of the Pig. The Year of the Dog is a great read. Josephine Bridges,V16, #4 (January 24, 2006), page 15

Dennis and Lynn Baker, Members FCC Oregon-SW Washington
This is a story about fitting in, finding your own strengths, learning who you are, and really liking yourself. It's told in a cheerful, encouraging tone, without leaving out the hard parts. Grace's search for her special talent will resonate especially with older elementary school students. Kids who enjoy Beverly Cleary will have fun reading about Grace's daily adventures at school, with friends and at home.
Along the way, there are gentle lessons in the different ways that Grace's and Melody's parents adapt their cultural strengths into American culture, and in the ways Grace and her parents deal with prejudice from both sides - Caucasian school mates or Chinese-speaking Asians.
It's a charming story. Enjoy!

A moving, poetic narrative and child-friendly illustrations follow the heartbreaking, ultimately hopeful journey of a little girl who is forced to become a refugee.
The day war came there were flowers on the windowsill and my father sang my baby brother back to sleep.
Imagine if, on an ordinary day, after a morning of studying tadpoles and drawing birds at school, war came to your town and turned it to rubble. Imagine if you lost everything and everyone, and you had to make a dangerous journey all alone. Imagine that there was no welcome at the end, and no room for you to even take a seat at school. And then a child, just like you, gave you something ordinary but so very, very precious. In lyrical, deeply affecting language, Nicola Davies's text combines with Rebecca Cobb's expressive illustrations to evoke the experience of a child who sees war take away all that she knows.

Praise for All Because You Matter:

* "Two accomplished creators invite Black children to take up their spaces in the world... the journey from beginning to end of the book sends a message that is nurturing, nourishing, loving, and reassuring, expanding and deepening the words of the movement it echoes. Collier's trademark paint-and-collage illustrations use petal shapes with patterns and faces, blue and brown hues, and family scenes and close-ups to embody the child's growth within affectionate circles of family, community, and universe. A gem for every household." — Kirkus Reviews, starred review

* "A richly illustrated affirmation for Black children-especially boys... Stunning. Powerful. Timely. Illustrated inspiration at its best." — Horn Book, starred review

* "Caldecott Honoree Collier's (Trombone Shorty) tender, close-up watercolor portraits of a growing Black boy give visual power to this celebration of young Black lives. In an author's note, Charles (Freedom Soup) writes about "The Big Talk"-words that every Black parent must speak to their child about discrimination and violence. Lyrical verse that aims to offer "a starting point for conversations about the racial climate in our country" underlines an important message: "you, dear child, matter."... As a schoolchild in a green T-shirt, he faces hurdles: academic efforts go unrewarded, classmates jeer, "another name is called:/ Trayvon,/ Tamir,/ Philando." Alongside these realities, Charles delivers a ringing affirmation of his life's meaning-"Did you know that... strength, power, and/ beauty lie within you?"-as Collier shows the boy straight on, surrounded by collaged images of his ancestry. Universal declarations are often illustrated with images of many children; this book's focus on a single child brings his experience and life-and the ways they matter-right up close." — Publishers Weekly, starred review

"All Because You Matter is a powerful, poetic manifesto that is required reading for every family in America." — BookPage

"A powerful tale in a broken world, this will give children hope and parents comfort... a very timely story and a wonderful addition to school and public libraries."— School Library Journal

"A title sure to be frequented by not only Black children but any child looking for a kind word and confidence boost." — Booklist
Praise for Like Vanessa, by Tami Charles:
* "Readers of all ages and backgrounds will cheer Vanessa on and see themselves in her story. This debut is a treasure: a gift to every middle school girl who ever felt unpretty, unloved, and trapped by her circumstances." — Kirkus Reviews, starred review

* "Superb." — Booklist, starred review

* " Like Vanessa is an emotionally potent, engaging young adult story with a heroine whom it is impossible not to root for. The life lessons that Nessy learns are relevant and worthwhile for everyone." — Foreword Reviews, starred review

"Charles's debut novel dexterously interlaces pathos and humor and introduces a refreshing new voice." — Publishers Weekly
Praise for Trombone Shorty, illustrated by Bryan Collier: 2016 Caldecott Honor Book
Coretta Scott King (Illustrator) Award Winner

Two accomplished creators invite Black children to take up their spaces in the world.

Charles' lyrical text addresses "you, dear child," in the voice of a loving caregiver, recounting how the world anticipated and prepared for the child's existence. The child was "dreamed of, / like a knapsack / full of wishes / carried on the backs / of your ancestors," who worked and built, "because to them, / you always mattered." The word "matter" is used in both ways: as a noun, as the child is made up of the same stuff that makes up the universe, and as a verb, because "strength, power and beauty / lie within," even though the world will sometimes make the child question whether "they, / or you, / will ever matter." The universe made room for "you, / your people, / their dreams, / your future," Charles assures the child. The protesters ("take a breath, / take a stand, / take a knee") and victims of racist violence ("Trayvon, / Tamir, / Philando") are mentioned explicitly without becoming the focus; the journey from beginning to end of the book sends a message that is nurturing, nourishing, loving, and reassuring, expanding and deepening the words of the movement it echoes. Collier's trademark paint-and-collage illustrations use petal shapes with patterns and faces, blue and brown hues, and family scenes and close-ups to embody the child's growth within affectionate circles of family, community, and universe.

From the Publisher

A simple but powerful poem. Needs to be read by everyone."

A simple but powerful poem. Needs to be read by everyone."

01/01/2018
Gr 1-4-Actress Byers has penned a picture-book affirmation for girls who may be doubting their self-worth. Byers, who self-indentifies as multiracial and a CODA (child of deaf adults), experienced bullying as a child. The rhyming text begins with a series of first-person statements about purpose, many in the form of similes. Some of these translate well to a young human, e.g., "Like the tree, I'm here to grow," while others are rather less successful (and logical): "Like the rain, I'm here to pour and drip and fall until I'm full." The latter part of the book suggests that readers should love and support each other despite differences, both physical and otherwise. This is a gentle and worthy message, but may not be concrete enough to empower bullied students or to prompt a change in those who bully. It could be used to give struggling young girls a script for positive self-talk, or the adults who care for them an opening to discuss dignity and kindness. A plurality of ethnicities and body types are represented, generally at a distance and against plain white backgrounds enhanced with digital chalk sketches. VERDICT Teachers and librarians who tend to the self-esteem of young girls may wish to consider this title to introduce concepts and spark discussion.-Sarah Stone, San Francisco Public Library

School Library Journal

A feel-good book about self-acceptance.Empire star Byers and Bobo offer a beautifully illustrated, rhyming picture book detailing what one brown-skinned little girl with an impressive Afro appreciates about herself. Relying on similes, the text establishes a pattern with the opening sentence, "Like the sun, I'm here to shine," and follows it through most of the book. Some of them work well, while others fall flat: "Like the rain, I'm here to pour / and drip and fall until I'm full." In some vignettes she's by herself; and in others, pictured along with children of other races. While the book's pro-diversity message comes through, the didactic and even prideful expressions of self-acceptance make the book exasperatingly preachy-a common pitfall for books by celebrity authors. In contrast, Bobo's illustrations are visually stunning. After painting the children and the objects with which they interact, such as flowers, books, and a red wagon, in acrylic on board for a traditional look, she scanned the images into Adobe Photoshop and added the backgrounds digitally in chalk. This lends a whimsical feel to such details as a rainbow, a window, wind, and rain-all reminiscent of Harold and the Purple Crayon. Bobo creates an inclusive world of girls in which wearing glasses, using a wheelchair, wearing a head scarf, and having a big Afro are unconditionally accepted rather than markers for othering.A pro-girl book with illustrations that far outshine the text. (Picture book. 3-7)

"If you want your young reader to have some insight into the role that black women played in the history of this country, this is the perfect gift."— NBC News

From the Publisher

K-Gr 4-An artist's social media sensation is lovingly brought to life in this standout title. Initially a personal project for Black History Month, Harrison's collection highlights 40 notable black women throughout U.S. history. Each entry includes two to three paragraphs of biographical text, opposite which nearly identical figures (most are drawn facing forward with cherubic smiles and closed eyes) hold center stage of their full-page portrait, framed by simple yet clever backgrounds that contextualize their achievements. Audre Lorde, for example, stands before muted brown bookshelves-keen eyes will discern that the books displayed feature her poetry and prose. Leadership is embraced in forms past and present and across various disciplines; renowned abolitionists Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth are joined by Air Force General Marcelite J. Harris and filmmaker Julie Dash. A concluding "More Little Leaders" segment addresses the difficulty of selecting 40 women to represent a historical legacy and offers miniature renditions of additional icons, including Gabby Douglas, Lorraine Hansberry, and the Williams sisters. Useful back matter provides multimedia sources for inevitably curious readers. The amount of information included makes this book ideal for budding researchers or for small groups, although the heartwarming digital images will garner a younger audience, too-kids of all ages will love poring over Harrison's tender artwork. VERDICT Beautifully designed and chock-full of information, this is a fantastic survey of black women who made and continue to make history. A must-have for youth nonfiction collections.-Ashleigh Williams, School Library Journal

Visual artist Harrison introduces 40 trailblazing black women from United States history in this inspiring volume for young readers.The book just begs to be picked up, with its handy trim size and its attractively simple cover design featuring smiling brown girls in various historical outfits. Each leader is described in a one-page minibiography that faces a full-page illustration of the woman in clothes and a simplified setting that represent her role and her era. Each concise biography includes the leader's background as a child or youth, touches on her major accomplishments, and ends with her legacy. Some of the women featured are household names, such as Harriet Tubman and Oprah Winfrey. Others are less well-known, including Mamie Phipps Clark and Alice Ball. Whether wearing flying gear or a long ruffled dress, each "little leader" appears utterly approachable. Their surroundings in the pictures capture the diverse accomplishments and personalities of these bold black women, while their small figures and sweet, round faces invite child readers to imagine themselves in such roles. The effect is purely magical.Perfect for exploring together at bedtime or for children to browse independently, a gorgeous invitation for children of all backgrounds, and especially for black girls, to learn about black women who were pioneers.

Maurice Sendak's Caldecott Medal-winning picture book has become one of the most highly acclaimed and best-loved children's books of all time. A must for every child's bookshelf.

This iconic story has inspired a movie, an opera, and the imagination of generations. When Max dresses in his wolf suit and causes havoc in the house, his mother sends him to bed. From there, Max sets sail to an island inhabited by the Wild Things, who name him king and share a wild rumpus with him. But then from far away across the world, Max smells good things to eat...

Let the wild rumpus continue as this classic comes to life like never before with new reproductions of Maurice Sendak's artwork. Astonishing state-of-the-art technology faithfully captures the color and detail of the original illustrations. Sendak himself enthusiastically endorsed this impressive new interpretation of his art.

Mary Pols of Time magazine wrote that "what makes Sendak's book so compelling is its grounding effect: Max has a tantrum and in a flight of fancy visits his wild side, but he is pulled back by a belief in parental love to a supper 'still hot." Generations have shared this beautiful picture book, and children of all ages will want to return to it again and again.

New York Public Library's #4 book on the list of "Top Check-Outs of All Time"

There's one thing every reader lives in fear of: finding out their favorite book is about to be turned into a movie. Will your favorite part get cut out? Is the person playing the main character good enough? Is the director going to do something stupid, like turn a single book into multiple unnecessary movies? Watching your [...]

This week, the American Library Association announced its annual list of "challenged books." The report is meant to offer insight on the literature that might inspire an otherwise perfectly adjusted youth to forget to tie his shoes, or eat an unhealthy lunch, or . . . set an entire school on fire. Something like that!

It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger.

"Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract."

A tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual book. A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem.

A Wrinkle in Time is the winner of the 1963 Newbery Medal.

Daniel Rieley is a British freelance illustrator based in Lisbon.

For the last two years, Rieley has been working on several illustration projects in advertising, print, card design, and children's picture books. When Rieley is not drawing you can probably find him trying to catch waves, taking photos with old cameras, or playing his newly discovered sport Padel.

PreS-Gr 4-This stunningly illustrated wordless picture book tells the story of three children who find a bag of magical chalk at the playground on a rainy day. Their drawings come to life, which seems great when a drawing of the sun stops the rain, but is scary when a dinosaur stalks them. A drawing of a rain cloud inside a play tube brings the rain back and dissolves the frightening creature. This imaginative story is the perfect showcase for Thomson's extraordinary pictures. Though they look like photos or computer-generated images, each one is actually composed using traditional techniques with acrylics and colored pencils. The artist's clever use of light, perspective, and expression, along with the protagonists' neat solution to their dilemma, creates a completely satisfying experience. Thomson is a master at visual storytelling.-Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, Carroll County Public Library, MD

A beautiful pop-up book as you've never seen before.
Swing through the lush jungle canopy, crunch across the glittering ice floes, prowl through the savanna grasslands. In each habitat, a wild creature hides. Can you guess who they are from the clues they give about themselves?
Lift the spectacular spiral pop up to reveal the answer and meet each magnificent animal in its home. Children learn what the animal eats, where it lives, what it looks like and what animal family it belongs to, as well as some quirky and funny facts about it. The reader then reveals by pulling up a tab on the opposite page, a creature suspended on a sturdy but invisible plastic cord. The creature appears in a whirlwind of spiralling paper at home in its natural environment. At the animal's feet is its name and so the pop up reveals the answer in a uniquely beautiful and satisfying way.

Editorial Reviews

"Book offers an appealing interactive reading experience."- Nancy Call, School Library Journal

From the Publisher

07/17/2020

K-Gr 2-Originally published in France, this pop-up book uses a guessing game to teach animal facts. Five habitats are explored; a different animal (hippopotamus, mandrill, polar bear, toucan, and tiger) is hidden in each environment. The clues to an animal's identity cover diet, behavior, physical features, and unique characteristics. Once readers make an informed guess, they are required to lift up a small tab gently, as the book's construction will not withstand a rough grip or pull. The art is a creative take on pop-ups; for example, a spiral cutout houses the mystery animal dangling inside. For the most part, the text is smooth and well organized. However, the format is not suitable for story time, as the reveal may not have the same impact in large groups. One-on-one would work, but it would be unwise to circulate without diligent supervision, and that would reduce the children's fun drastically. VERDICT While this book offers an appealing interactive reading experience, it does not seem well suited for the high circulation demands of a library.-Nancy Call, formerly at Santa Cruz P.L., Aptos, CA

The true story of eighteenth-century mathematician Sophie Germain, who solved the unsolvable to achieve her dream.

When her parents took away her candles to keep their young daughter from studying math...nothing stopped Sophie. When a professor discovered that the homework sent to him under a male pen name came from a woman...nothing stopped Sophie. And when she tackled a math problem that male scholars said would be impossible to solve...still, nothing stopped Sophie.

For six years Sophie Germain used her love of math and her undeniable determination to test equations that would predict patterns of vibrations. She eventually became the first woman to win a grand prize from France's prestigious Academy of Sciences for her formula, which laid the groundwork for much of modern architecture (and can be seen in the book's illustrations).

Award-winning author Cheryl Bardoe's inspiring and poetic text is brought to life by acclaimed artist Barbara McClintock's intricate pen-and-ink, watercolor, and collage illustrations in this true story about a woman who let nothing stop her.

Chelsea Clinton introduces tiny feminists, mini activists and little kids who are ready to take on the world to thirteen inspirational women who never took no for an answer, and who always, inevitably and without fail, persisted . She Persisted is for everyone who has ever wanted to speak up but has been told to quiet down, for everyone who has ever tried to reach for the stars but was told to sit down, and for everyone who has ever been made to feel unworthy or unimportant or small. , starred review

Throughout United States history, there have always been women who have spoken out for what's right, even when they have to fight to be heard. In this book, Chelsea Clinton celebrates thirteen American women who helped shape our country through their tenacity, sometimes through speaking out, sometimes by staying seated, sometimes by captivating an audience. They all certainly persisted.

With vivid, compelling art by Alexandra Boiger, this book shows readers that no matter what obstacles may be in their paths, they shouldn't give up on their dreams. Persistence is power.

This book features: Harriet Tubman, Helen Keller, Clara Lemlich, Nellie Bly, Virginia Apgar, Maria Tallchief, Claudette Colvin, Ruby Bridges, Margaret Chase Smith, Sally Ride, Florence Griffith Joyner, Oprah Winfrey, Sonia Sotomayor-and one special cameo.

★ "[A] lovely, moving work of children's literature [and a] polished introduction to a diverse and accomplished group of women." -

"Exemplary . . . This well-curated list will show children that women's voices have made themselves emphatically heard." -
Praise for She Persisted : Publishers Weekly Booklist She Persisted ] will remind little girls that they can achieve their goals if they don't let obstacles get in the way." - Family Circle "A message we all need to hear." -

"We can't wait to grab a copy for some of the awesome kids in our lives . . . and maybe some of the grown-ups, too." - Scary Mommy Romper

"This will be a great read for kids (especially young girls)." -

"We cannot wait for the launch of Smart Girl Chelsea Clinton's new book to help remind kids everywhere that the fearlessness that characterizes the thirteen women in the book is what has emboldened us to constantly strive for progress and justice." -Amy Poehler's Smart Girls
