Guts for Glory

Bless Our Pets

The Story of Civil War Soldier Rosetta Wakeman

Poems of Gratitude for Our Animal Friends

Written and illustrated by JoAnna Lapati

Poems collected by Lee Bennett Hopkins Illustrated by Lita Judge

In 1862, the American Civil War showed no signs of stopping. In rural New York, nineteen-year-old Rosetta Wakeman made a bold choice: she cut her braid and disguised herself as a man. No one suspected that “Lyons” was a woman—not even when she enlisted to fight for the Union. Army life wasn’t easy, but Rosetta knew she belonged beside her fellow soldiers.

Through intricately detailed art and excerpts from Rosetta’s letters, this fascinating biography introduces children to an unconventional woman who was determined to claim her own place in history.

SPRING 2024

In this adorable, often amusing collection, thirteen poets give thanks for those who bark, purr, chitter, and slither. Each poem features a different animal companion, including a cat snoozing in her bed, a goldfish dancing in her bowl, and a gerbil nestling in a child’s pocket.

Illustrated in warm, tender detail, Bless Our Pets captures the joy of pets and the people who love them.

From puppies to mice to turtles to ponies, this endearing anthology is the perfect tribute to creatures big and small.

Building a Dream

How the Boys of Koh Panyee Became Champions

SPRING 2023

How the Sea Came to Be (And All the Creatures In It)

Written by Darshana Khiani Illustrated by Dow Phumiruk

Written by Jennifer Berne Illustrated by Amanda Hall

In Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay, atop a network of stilts, floats the village of Koh Panyee—where a group of boys loved soccer but had nowhere to practice. The boys looked out at the water and started gathering tools. Even while their neighbors laughed, the team worked for weeks to build Koh Panyee’s first floating field—a place to practice, and a place to transform their community . . .

Long, long ago, the Earth was a fiery place, where steamy, hot clouds rose up high. Rain poured down for millennia, filling the first oceans.

There—over millions of years—life began, grew, and spread. Now the sea teems with thousands of creatures: squid, dolphins, barracudas, and more, living in the waters where long, long ago, life itself came to be.

With engaging soccer scenes and atmospheric images of southern Thailand, this inspiring book follows a group of boys who built their own dream, plank by plank.

With entrancing verse and awe-inspiring art, this book is a lyrical, spectacular history of the ocean and its incredible inhabitants. h “Riveting illustrations and text depict the shaping of Earth’s surface, the formation of seas, and the emergence of life and complex biodiversity . . . An ode to undersea life with visuals that beg to be animated, just as the text begs to be sung.”

The Miracle Seed

Written and illustrated by Martin Lemelman

Thousands of years ago, the Judean date palm was a beloved symbol of the Jewish people. It bore the sweetest fruit, believed to cure toothaches and even cancer. But after centuries of violence, the tree faded into extinction. Finally—in 1963—archaeologists uncovered Judean date palm seeds at the ruined fortress of Masada. Could these seeds bring the ancient plant back to life? In 2004, Dr. Sarah Sallon and Dr. Elaine Solowey began an amazing experiment . . .

Krit passed in the cool, fresh breeze.

Every afternoon, the boys’ footprints littered the newly smoothed sand.

“Nothing can stop us now,” said Surin as he charged down the pitch. “We’re going to be champions!”

Intertwining history, biology, and colorfully detailed art, this graphic novel is a compelling look at perseverance in the face of impossible odds. h A Junior Library Guild Selection h “A unique blend of ancient history and modern science, skillfully combined in
