She describes the passion for history that inspired her period pieces and her journey into Afrofuturism. Carter’s wisdom and stories are paired with deluxe visuals, including sketches, mood boards, and film stills. Fans will even get a glimpse behind the scenes of the sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

RUTH E. CARTER is one of the most renowned and celebrated costume designers working today. In addition to her win for Black Panther, she’s been nominated for two other Oscars and an Emmy.

She has costumed more than 40 films over the course of 3 decades.

DAD LAW The Definitive Reference for All Things Dad

By Ally Probst and Joel Willis

Finally, the unwritten rules of Dadhood have been written in Dad Law. Since the dawn of time, all dads have understood that there are a set of rules for fathers—both old and new alike— that guide them to gleefully repeat terrible puns as well as to hone the perfect deadpan joke delivery. This handsome tome collects all of the governing laws of fatherhood, covering a vast array of conceivable situations ranging from fashion to tech to simply being a dad in public. At last, fathers need look no further to confirm that their instincts are 100 percent legally sound, whether it’s to vigilantly guard the thermostat settings or to tell unsuspecting children, “Hey, pull my finger.” It’s not a choice.

It’s a law: Dad Law. ALLY PROBST and JOEL WILLIS write for The Dad, a social media hub and store for dads of all kinds to connect and bond over the hilarities of fatherhood.

NEW RULES NEXT WEEK Corita Kent’s Legacy through the Eyes of Twenty Artists and Writers • By the Corita Art Center

Twenty contemporary artists and writers reimagine Corita Kent’s iconic creative manifesto. Known for her vibrant and powerful serigraphs, Corita Kent left an equally important legacy through her teaching. In the late 1960s, she and her students at the Immaculate Heart College developed their Art Department Rules. From “Consider everything an experiment” to “Be happy whenever you can manage it,” these ten deceptively simple principles capture the magic of Corita’s approach to creativity, culture, and activism. In this volume, ten writers and ten artists look back at the rules and show us how vital and resonant they remain today. The wide-ranging roster of contributors includes Vashti Harrison, Lisa Congdon, Natacha Ramsay-Levi, Dan Paley, and Erin Jang.

CORITA KENT (1918–1986) was a former Roman Catholic nun who became a 1960s pop art legend. She headed the art department at the Immaculate Heart College, where she created her 10 Art Department Rules. In 1968, she left the order and moved to Boston to focus exclusively on her art. Her work has been shown at major museums across the country, including the Whitney, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

IS IT HOT IN HERE? (Or Am I Suffering for All Eternity for the Sins I Committed on Earth?) • By Zach Zimmerman

In this debut collection of essays, lists, musings, and quips, New York–based comedian Zach Zimmerman delicately walks the fine line between tear-jerking and knee-slapping. In this laugh-and-cry-out-loud, memoir-esque exploration of selfhood, Zimmerman dives into the pros and cons of retiring a Bible Belt– dwelling, God-fearing identity in exchange for a new, metropolitan lease on life—one of vegetarianism, atheism, queerness, and humor. Whether learning to absolve instilled religious guilt or reminiscing over Tinder dates gone horribly wrong, this book is a candid and hysterical look at one person’s journey toward making peace with the past and seeking hope in the future.

ZACH ZIMMERMAN is a Brooklyn-based comedian and writer named a TimeOut New York Comic to Watch with essays and humor pieces that have been published in The New Yorker, McSweeney’s, The Washington Post, The Independent, among others.

ELEMENTAL Nature-Inspired Rituals to Nourish Your Life

By Andi Eaton Alleman

Elemental is a beautiful book about disconnecting from the digital world and reconnecting with nature for better health and inner peace. Ancient humans had an intimate connection to nature— we lived by the cycles of the sun and the moon, followed the flow of water when determining where to settle, and planted and sowed according to the shifts in seasons. The five elements—fire, earth, water, air, and ether—reside in each of us and are the universe’s building blocks. In this richly illustrated book, Andi Eaton Alleman explores the energy and characteristics each element holds, and teaches you how to incorporate a balance of each into your daily wellness practices: meditation and breathwork to amplify your glow, rituals for grounding and balance, and simple homemade recipes and exercises for nourishment. As you explore each of the elements, you’ll learn how to let your body speak and become an active listener to what it has to say.

Good NEWS That’s [Front Page Fill] You’re Smarter Than You Thought Whether you’re a veteran solver breezing through several puzzles a day or someone who’s just crossword-curious, this probably won’t come as NEWS: they have a way of making solvers question their own [Intelligence].

The wide range of [Information] solvers thought they possess can suddenly seem rather [Skinny] when faced with empty boxes.

And even if solvers can [Kind of stand] being stumped by some [Word] or [Facts], [It gets old quickly]. No wonder, then, that many people’s initial forays into the cruciverse are [Kind of brief ]. For a pastime that’s supposed to be a fun escape, [None of this is good].

News [___ flash]: [What’s going on] has little to do with gaps in one’s intellect or learning, but from unfamiliarity with a relatively small set of oft-repeated answers.

Novices might at first rejoice to learn that most crossword answers are only three or four letters long. But over the years, crosswords have compiled an impressive collection of rare words, names, abbreviations, contractions, prefixes, suffixes, foreign imports, and plenty of other linguistic [Extra stuff?], including many an antiquated [Time piece].

Let me offer some good [Tidings]: it’s natural for any or all of this regular [Morning paper fare] to be [Something you didn’t know]. Just as it’s natural for solvers to have a few choice four-letter words of their own in response to first encountering them.

[“Huh?”] WHAT It is, Why It’s Important, and How to Master It

A Guide to the Weird and Wonderful Language of Crossword Puzzles • By David Bukszpan

Crossword puzzles have a language all their own. This entertaining guide to grid lingo will improve your game while it fills in the mystery and history of this unique and playful idiom.

Author David Bukszpan brings his deep word game knowledge and engaging educational style to this exploration of crosswordese and its evolution from antiquity to the age of LOL and LIZZO. Far more than a crossword puzzle lexicon, Crosswordese is full of fun entries, including rich sections on particular types of puzzle clues and answers from pop culture, sports, science, and more. Each chapter also includes a puzzle custom-made by the author and exclusive to the book! This is the perfect gift to help novices up their skills and reward veterans with a deeper appreciation of this delightfully quirky vocab.

humorous tone. For instance, FUN is crossed by RULE, an intersection of forces still at play in crosswords.

As solvers progressed, other pairs of answers presented interesting or amusing juxtapositions: SALES arrives right before RECEIPT and SPAR goes toe-to-toe with TRADING. MORAL, clued as [What we all should be], seems like a [Pipe dream] next to REVERIE. DRAW and TIED are MIRED together, which Wynne planted firmly in the SAND. Wynne’s ironic empathy for his solvers’ position was evident when [What this puzzle is] proved to be HARD: probably the puzzle’s easiest answer, even if the joke was a real groaner.

The next week, a second Word-Cross was accompanied by a note from the creator: “The great interest shown in ‘Fun’s’ wordcross puzzle has prompted the puzzle editor to submit another of same KIND.” A week after that, a slight but significant change to the instructions directed readers to “Find the Missing Cross Words.” The linguistic cross-up has been attributed to a typographical GOOF, but the flip-flop stuck: The fourth puzzle was rebranded “Fun’s CrossWord Puzzle.”

So it could be said that crosswordese predates even the word “crossword.” I like to imagine some poor schlub, IRKED but determinedly solving those early puzzles, deriding Wynne for using wordcrossese.

Get to know real queer kids from all over the country—these inspiring stories of LGBTQ+ youth, written in their own words, provide crucial snapshots of what it’s really like to grow up trans or queer in America. Photographer and activist Maxwell Poth has traveled all over the United States, collecting the stories and portraits of 73 queer kids and teenagers from 15 different states.

These young people share the challenges they’ve faced coming out or coming to terms with their own identities; they write about their families, their schoolmates, their teachers, and the queer community they’ve found throughout their journeys; and they offer messages of love and support to their LGBTQ+ peers.

TINY T. REX AND THE GRAND TA-DA!

By Jonathan Stutzman • Illustrated by Jay Fleck

In the newest book in the bestselling Tiny T. Rex series, Tiny and his best friend Pointy face a new challenge: the school’s talent show. Tiny and Pointy really want to win the show. And they think they know just how to do it: They will become great magicians, just like their hero, the Amazing Presto. Together they work hard on their act, including on the grandest trick of all: to make something disappear. But it isn’t easy to become magicians, and just when they’ve mastered their skills, they face the even greater challenge of performing in front of an audience!

With their trademark humor and warmth, beloved duo Tiny and Pointy prove that any problem can be overcome as long as it’s met with patience and understanding.

FISH AND CRAB

By Marianna Coppo

A humorous and clever picture book about the importance of sharing big feelings with someone you trust. Fish and Crab are best friends, always there for each other. When it’s time for bed, Crab is ready to go to sleep, but Fish is still wide awake, wondering: What is that noise—that ooh, ooh? What if aliens abduct us as we sleep? What if it rains frogs? What if . . . so many things?!

From Marianna Coppo, the critically acclaimed author of Petra, Such a Good Boy, and A Brave Cat, comes an unforgettable picture book about the friendship between two very different aquarium inhabitants. At once relatable and reassuring, Fish and Crab shows the youngest of readers that it is okay to embrace the full spectrum of our feelings—not just at bedtime, but anytime. After all, even the biggest worries and “what ifs” are easier to cope with—and move on from—when someone you love and trust is there to listen.

MARIANNA COPPO is the author-illustrator of Such a Good Boy and A Brave Cat. She lives in Rome.

YOU RULE!

By Rilla Alexander

A boldly graphic, verbally playful affirmation that the most precious things in life are immeasurable! How far can you go?

How much do you know? How kind are you? How much do I love you? These are the impossible questions every child has asked and every parent has struggled to answer. This is a wonderfully affirmative and aspirational book of possibilities and exploration, a fantastic linguistic calibration/celebration of bravery, kindness, love, and so much more. Within this bright and colorful picture book and energetic glossary of words, Rilla Alexander brilliantly succeeds in measuring the immeasurables of life.

RILLA ALEXANDER is an Australian-born designer, illustrator, and author whose work has appeared on everything from toys and teacups to buses and buildings. Her books include A Bear Sat on My Porch Today and the TouchWords series. She lives in South Pasadena, California.

THE RED TIN BOX

By Matthew Burgess • Illustrated by Evan Turk

Like modern-day Miss Rumphius, this luminous tale brings the scope of a lifetime into focus for young readers—and fills it with the magic of gifts given and received. This moving and radiant story of the relationship between a grandmother and granddaughter, and the joy and promise passed down between them, begins one quiet dawn. . . . On the morning of her eighth birthday, Maude buries a secret at the foot of a flowering dogwood— and inside it, a tiny toy elephant, a marble like a tiger’s eye, a bird’s nest with purple string woven through the twigs, and more. A special box. A gift, waiting for the right moment to be opened again. At once lyrical and profound, this book is a joyful celebration of the wisdom of memory, the secret treasures of childhood, and the powerful joy of looking forward and looking back, all tucked away in the red tin box.

MATTHEW BURGESS’s award-winning first children’s book, Enormous Smallness: A Story of E. E. Cummings, was a Junior Library Guild selection and an ALA Notable Children’s Book. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

EVAN TURK is a Robert F. Sibert Medal– and Ezra Jack Keats Award– winning illustrator and author. He lives in Southern California.

SOME OF THESE ARE SNAILS

By Carter Higgins

From the creative mind behind Circle Under Berry comes this deceptively simple concept book exploring sorting, comparatives, and quantifiers that teases the brain, twists expectations, and teaches basic concepts in unusual ways. As with the best classic children’s books, you read it once, read it ten times— and see something new every time. With an elegant and simple approach, this enigmatic, thought-provoking picture book shows young readers that everything in the world can be seen from infinite perspectives.

CARTER HIGGINS is the author of many books for kids and the illustrator of two. She is an Emmy-winning visual effects and motion graphics artist and spent a decade as an elementary school librarian.

She lives in Las Vegas.

READ THE WORLD, CHANGE THE WORLD. A PUBLISHING PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN ROOM TO READ AND CHRONICLE BOOKS. A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS BENEFITS ROOM TO READ’S GLOBAL LITERACY PROGRAM

DANCING HANDS A Story of Friendship in Filipino Sign Language

By Joanna Que & Charina Marquez • Illustrated by Fran Alvarez • Translated by Karen Llagas

This artful picture book about friendship and sign language, originally published in the Philippines in concert with nonprofit Room to Read, is beautifully revised for this global edition. Sam’s new neighbors’ hands make graceful movements she doesn’t recognize, and she wonders what they are saying. Soon she meets her new neighbor Mai, who teaches Sam some Filipino Sign Language. Along the way, they both discover the joys of making a new friend, a best friend. This sweet and perceptive picture book tells the story of two girls as they learn to communicate with each other. With playful illustrations that celebrate the movements of sign language, backmatter that shares more about sign languages around the world, and endpapers that share all the signs used in the story, this charming picture book conveys the shy and fumbling experience of making a friend and overcoming language barriers.

JOANNA QUE finds sign language beautiful, and strives to spark more conversations about the importance of inclusion. She lives in Manila, Philippines.

CHARINA MARQUEZ is a sign language instructor and deaf rights advocate. Born deaf, she loves languages, communicating using sign language and written English and Tagalog. She lives in Quezon City, Philippines.

FRAN ALVAREZ is an illustrator working in both digital and analog mediums. She lives in Manila, Philippines.

I MADE THESE ANTS SOME UNDERPANTS!

By Derick Wilder • Illustrated by K-Fai Steele

The creative team behind Does a Bulldozer Have a Butt? returns with a raucous tale of radical generosity—and custom undies!

What’s a kid to do when given a day-of-the-week underwear set—wear Monday’s undies on Monday, Tueday’s undies on Tuesday like a rule-following robot? No sirree bob! He’ll cut and craft, snip and sew until every single one of his friends has their own pair of underwear—whether they want them or not. . . .

One boy’s valiant attempts to create a pair of underpants for each of his buddies, no matter how imaginary, is a laugh-outloud testament to the devotion of friendship, the creative muse, and the power of underwear to unite even the least likely of allies—especially on the days you don’t want to wear them.

YENEBI’S DRIVE TO SCHOOL

By Sendy Santamaria

This vibrant story puts a whole new spin on one loving family’s morning drive to school. Every morning, Yenebi is up at four o’clock. She brushes her teeth, gets dressed, and drags her sister Melanie to the car where Mami is waiting. For the next couple of hours, they’ll be in the car driving—past tamale vendors (Yenebi’s favorite part), through la línea (her least favorite part), and across the US border. That’s how they get to school every day. This is their normal. ¡Vamos! In a winning voice and a bright palette, debut author-illustrator Sendy Santamaria tells the story of one girl’s commute—a commute Sendy herself made growing up as an American citizen living in Mexico.

Yenebi’s Drive to School takes readers on a trip to school that many will recognize as very similar to their own.

SENDY SANTAMARIA is a Xicana illustrator and designer.

ODE TO A BAD DAY

By Chelsea Lin Wallace • Illustrated by Hyewon Yum

Oh Too Much Milk in My Cereal! Soggy, squishy! Boggy, mushy!

You turned my crispy into gushy! Sometimes the little bumps in our days can feel much bigger than they are. And when they start multiplying . . . oh, what a bad day it can become! All your favorite shirts are too dirty to wear. Your brother got to ride in the front seat. The lunch lady gave the last chocolate milk to the kid in line right ahead of you! Told in a series of dramatic odes to a day’s annoyances, Ode to a Bad Day will let children and caregivers alike find the humor and compassion in the days that could have gone better—and encourages readers to look forward to a better day . . . tomorrow.

MAURICE

By Jessixa Bagley

The winning personality of Corduroy meets the fable-like storytelling of Extra Yarn in this uplifting tale about a dog and his music amid a changing Paris. Meet Maurice: a gifted canine who was born to share his songs with the world. Whether selling out the Palais Garnier or delighting Parisian pedestrians, music is Maurice’s love language. But time and things change, and when the world stops paying attention, those notes fall flat.

This transcendent journey of one busking dog, who combines the power of inner strength and the gift of friendship to arrive at true self-discovery, is sure to inspire young dreamers and lift all souls in a stirring celebration of the world’s inherent beauty, welcoming all who seek it. As readers follow Maurice through good times and bad in this beautifully illustrated children’s book, his story shows that there’s light at the end of the tunnel, and even when we feel like we’re at our lowest, we still have the power to meaningfully contribute to the world.

JESSIXA BAGLEY’s debut picture book, Boats for Papa, has earned many accolades and awards including a Junior Library Guild selection, the SCBWI Golden Kite Award for Best Picture Book Text, and a Washington State Scandiuzzi Children’s Book Award. Her picture book Laundry Day was a Junior Library Guild selection and received a 2018 Ezra Jack Keats Honor Award for Writing. She lives in Seattle, Washington.

INVISIBLE THINGS

By Andy J. Pizza & Sophie Miller

This creatively wacky exploration of the invisible things that make up the human experience encourages readers to look past the visible and connect with the things that are not seen. If we could put on a pair of magical invisible glasses and see all the feelings, ideas, and other invisible things that populate our world, what would they look like? Could you see an itch? Could you describe hope? From the sound of a dog barking to the rainbow-MAGIC taste of a lollipop, from gratitude to grit, this book will help you meet the many interesting sensations that follow you every day, even if you can’t see them. Explore the way a sad song can sometimes make you happy, and discover that laughs—even fake ones—can multiply faster than you’d imagine. As readers give these unknown forces a name, they’ll also find a gentle invitation to pause, take a deep breath, and reflect on the invisible things at work in their own lives.

Together, they have built a wonderful life in Columbus, Ohio.

OH NO, THE AUNTS ARE HERE

By Adam Rex • Illustrated by Lian Cho

Shhh, listen. Do you hear that? Oh no. Oh dear. Oh . . . my . . . godmother. They’ve traveled on planes, in taxis, and across state lines. And now they’re here at the doorstep, a cheesy gift in one hand, the other poised for a pinch on the cheek. It’s the aunts!

The aunts are here. One girl’s all-too-recognizable experience— a visit from a troupe of overwhelming and overly enthusiastic relations—escalates to new heights of chaos, absurdity, and delight in a laugh-out-loud take on family reunions. Written with signature humor by Adam Rex and illustrated by Lian Cho, this picture book is a celebration of the universal and endearing strangeness of family.

ADAM REX is the author and illustrator of many beloved picture books and novels and has illustrated the work of many authors, including Jon Scieszka, Jeff Kinney, Kate DiCamillo, Eoin Colfer, Christopher Paul Curtis, and Neil Gaiman. He lives in Tucson, Arizona.

LIAN CHO grew up in New Zealand, far away from her eight aunts in Taiwan, where she was born. Now she lives in Brooklyn and is the illustrator of quite a few absurd books for kids.

HOMELAND My Father Dreams of Palestine

By Hannah Moushabeck • Illustrated by Reem Madooh

A father and his daughters may not be able to return home . . . but they can celebrate stories of their homeland! As bedtime approaches, three young girls eagerly await the return of their father, who tells them stories of a faraway homeland—Palestine.

Through their father’s memories, the Old City of Jerusalem comes to life: the sounds of juice vendors beating rhythms with brass coffee cups, the smell of argileh drifting through windows, and the sight of doves flapping their wings toward home. These daughters of the diaspora feel love for a place they have never been, a place they cannot go. But, as their father’s story comes to an end, they know that through his memories, they will always return. A Palestinian family celebrates the stories of their homeland in this moving autobiographical picture book debut. With heartfelt illustrations, this story is a love letter to home, to family, and to the persisting hope of people that transcends borders.

HANNAH MOUSHABECK is a second-generation Palestinian American author, editor, and marketer who was raised in a family of booksellers and publishers. This her first picture book. She lives in western Massachusetts, near her family.

REEM MADOOH is an illustrator from Kuwait with an MA in Children’s Book Illustration. This is her first picture book. She lives in Kuwait.

THE FIRE OF STARS The Life and Brilliance of the Woman Who Discovered What Stars Are Made Of

By Kirsten W. Larson • Illustrated by Katherine Roy

A poetic picture book celebrating the life and scientific discoveries of the groundbreaking astronomer Cecilia Payne! Astronomer and astrophysicist Cecilia Payne was the first person to discover what burns at the heart of stars. But she didn’t start out as the groundbreaking scientist she would eventually become. She started out as a girl full of curiosity, hoping to one day unlock the mysteries of the universe. With lyrical, evocative text by Kirsten W. Larson and extraordinary illustrations by award-winning illustrator Katherine Roy, this moving biography powerfully parallels the kindling of Cecilia Payne’s own curiosity and her scientific career with the process of a star’s birth, from mere possibility in an expanse of space to an eventual, breathtaking explosion of light.

KIRSTEN W. LARSON used to work with rocket scientists at NASA and now she writes books for curious kids. She lives near Los Angeles.

A RIVER OF DUST How North African Nutrients Nourish the Amazon

By Jilanne Hoffmann • Illustrated by Eugenia Mello

A River of Dust is a celebration of global interconnectedness with an environmental lens, at a time when we need it most.

The dust of the Sahel—a ribbon of land between the Sahara and the savanna—lifts with the harmattan wind each winter season.

But this is not just any dust. The Sahel’s dust will mix with dust from the Sahara and travel thousands of miles westward, across the African continent and the Atlantic Ocean, to reunite with its unforgotten home deep in the Amazon basin. Told from the perspective of the dust, A River of Dust takes readers on a journey through vibrantly illustrated landscapes, celebrating the power and wonder of Earth’s ecosystems and showing how these tiny particles are in fact key to the health of our planet. Meticulously researched and lushly illustrated, this picture book is a lyrical ode to global interconnectedness and the vital roles that even the smallest play in taking care of our planet.

SKY ROPES

By Sondra Soderborg

This fast-paced and unforgettable story follows one girl’s journey to overcome her trauma, discover what friendship really means, and learn that being brave is not always about being fearless.

Breanna is determined to get through her school’s required teambuilding camp as quickly as possible, while planning the most epic prank and avoiding even thinking of the Sky Ropes—the highest course east of the Mississippi. Though as the week progresses, Breanna can’t help loving her time in nature, fostering a rivalry with a competitive softball pitcher, and bonding with the other kids. But as much as she likes to pretend she isn’t afraid of anything, Breanna knows she will have to face the ropes—and the fear deeply tied to memories of her father’s abuse that she has been fighting to push away. Sondra Soderborg’s debut novel is about opening up to new possibilities, understanding what it means to be a true friend, encountering your most difficult truths, and finding self-acceptance within darkness.

PAPERBACK

PRAISE FOR BENBEE AND THE TEACHER GRIEFER:

“ One of those rare novels that ache with honesty: it is about discouragement and hope, about listening and being heard, about the fear of vulnerability and the absolute joy of being known. . . . You won’t, you really won’t stop turning the pages!”

—Gary D. Schmidt, Newbery Honoree, Printz Honoree, and National Book Award finalist for Okay for Now

“ Perfect for anyone who loves video games, anyone who thinks and learns a little differently, and really, anyone who loves a great story. Readers will laugh along and root for BenBee and his friends through all the twists and turns of this engaging multimodal story. I absolutely adored this book.”

—Kate Messner, author of Chirp and Breakout

“ This delightfully divergent story made me laugh, cry, and cheer for these four uniquely talented friends, and the dedicated teacher who brings them together and helps them shine.”

BENBEE AND THE TEACHER GRIEFER

—Jo Knowles, author of Where the Heart Is

The Kids Under the Stairs • By K.A. Holt

Ben Bellows and three classmates are stuck in a summer school class. But these kids aren’t dumb—they’re divergent thinkers, as Ms. J tells them: They simply approach things in a different way than traditional school demands. The kids make a deal with Ms. J: Every minute they spend reading aloud equals one minute they get to play Sandbox, a Minecraft-like game, in class. But when the administration finds out about this unorthodox method of teaching, Ben B. and his buds have to band together to save their teacher’s job—and their own academic future. Told through the perspectives of four different students, this honest, heartfelt novel-in-verse about friendship, school, and video games celebrates different types of intelligence and encourages even the most reluctant reader to embrace their own “divergent” self.
