By Ruth E. Carter • Foreword by Danai Gurira
The definitive, deluxe art book from costume design legend Ruth E. Carter. For three decades, she has shaped the story of the Black experience on screen—from the ᾽80s streetwear of Do the Right Thing to the royal regalia of Coming 2 America. Her work on Marvel’s Black Panther made her the first Black winner of an Oscar in costume design. In this book, Carter shares her origins—recalling a trip to the sporting goods store with Spike Lee to outfit the School Daze cast and a transformative moment stepping inside history on the set of Steven Spielberg’s Amistad. 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.

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 fur ther 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.

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.

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.

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, wonder ing: 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 any time. 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.

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 grand daughter, and the joy and promise passed down between them, begins one quiet dawn. . . . On the morning of her eighth birth day, 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 pro gresses, 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.

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 cel ebrates different types of intelligence and encourages even the most reluctant reader to embrace their own “divergent” self.
