You Are Not Alone Alphabet Rockers, illustrated by Ashley Evans

From the Grammy award-nominated hiphop group Alphabet Rockers comes an empowering picture book that invites kids to love themselves, stand up to hate, and foster inclusivity among their peers! • Incredible brand that celebrates diversity: The Alphabet Rockers’ mission is to curate content that encourages kids to stand up to hate, to embrace Black liberation, Queer liberation, Indigenous rights, immigrant rights, and intersectionality, and to understand that they are loved and never truly alone • Award-winning group: The Alphabet Rockers’ music and lyrics have been highly acclaimed, earning them many awards and honors including two Grammy nominations, ALA’s Top Album three years in a row, and a Parent’s Choice Award • Vetted material: The music, lyrics, curriculum, and concerts this book draws from are reviewed by an intercultural team of anti-bias thought leaders, educators, artists, parents, and young people of all genders

When I say something is unfair to me, but it’s fair for you, what does that make it? When I meditate, it all gets clear. And if you listen, you will really hear. I am not alone. I am enough.

ALPHABET ROCKERS make music that makes change, creating brave spaces for children and families to stand up to hate and be their courageous, beautiful selves. Led by Kaitlin McGaw (she/her) and Tommy Shepherd (he/him/they), Alphabet Rockers gets young people to talk about self-love and justice while living it. Their GRAMMY-nominated albums, multimedia, & curricula empower youth to embody change, advocate for others, and imagine a world they can both be seen in and thrive in. Alphabet Rockers are based in Oakland, CA, on the unceded land of the Chochenyo Ohlone people.

It can be scary to feel like you’re all on your own, especially in the face of prejudice. But always remember: you are not alone. Inspired by the Alphabet Rockers’ empowering song “Not Alone,” this uplifting picture book reassures kids that they belong and encourages them to love their beautiful selves and their identities, use their voices against hate, and step up for one another and have one another’s backs no matter what.

Listen to the Language of the Trees A Story of How Forests Communicate Underground Tara Kelley, illustrated by Marie Hermansson

This fascinating picture book explores the underground communication system between trees and helps young readers see that the natural world’s survival depends on staying connected and helping others—just like us! • Explores a fascinating, trending topic: Reveals the underground communication system of tree roots in a forest to young readers, a fairly new revelation in the scientific world. • Perfectly aligns with science and literacy curriculum: The story and backmatter explore the forest ecosystem, the underground mycorrhizal network, and symbiotic relationships in nature, in alignment with K-5 Next Generation Science Standards. • Universal themes of compassion and community: Introduces children to the idea of the interconnectedness and importance of community, helping each other thrive, and assisting others when there is danger. Readers will discover that trees have their own social network, and helping one another thrive is trending. The fascinating mycorrhizal fungi network runs underground through the forest via the roots of trees, allowing for connection and communication.

Listen to the Language of the Trees captures the magic of talking trees that take care of their neighbors (not to mention the mysterious fungi that help them do it).

TERA KELLEY was a children’s bookseller for six years, and her first book, Ocean Baby, was selected for the ocean curriculum of Santa Cruz’s Migrant Head Start Program. She is currently a freelance writer and editor in Northern California, where she works at a local library. Find out more about her work at terakelley.com.

A lyrical read aloud, Listen to the Language of the Trees is the story of a seedling, newly sprouted at the base of a giant tree. As it stretches its roots into an underground web of fungi, it learns that its fellow trees use the fungi to pass messages and share resources! It will take great luck for this tiny seedling to survive, but it will have help from its friends in the forest. The Douglas fir forest also harbors creatures like a zany Yellow Pine chipmunk gathering and forgetting seed cones, an owl nested in the giant tree, and chattering Steller’s jays. And, as we must never forget, no part of the forest is entirely free from danger!

Zailey has never seen her own face. She’s never seen her reflection, or a photo of herself, or even a drawing.

People are happier at Gladder Hill—or so Zailey’s been taught—so her fascination with her classmates’ faces is a guilty secret. She starts to wonder about the world outside the community, the past she can’t quite remember, and most of all, what she looks like. When a fateful event leads Zailey beyond the gates of Gladder Hill, she finally has a chance to have her questions answered. But is she prepared for the truth?

Monsters Born and Made Tanvi Berwah

A South Asian inspired YA debut that follows sixteen-year-old Koral, who risks her life each day to capture the monstrous maristags that live in the black seas that surround her island. • Fantastic Writing: Absolutely fantastic writing with incredible pacing and world building that transports you. • Tropes that Work: This has some of the classic fantasy tropes, but they feel fresh, interesting, and perfect for teen fantasy readers. • Connected: Melissa Albert had this to say about a previous short story: “A mesmerizing account of love, loss, and revenge, entwined with a mythic family history. It’s all spikes and rising oddity, a sharptoothed thing that nods to Helen Oyeyemi and Kelly Link, but does its own thing.”

Sixteen-year-old Koral and her older brother Emrik risk their live each day to capture the monstrous maristags that live in the black seas around their island. They have to, or else their family will starve. In an oceanic world swarming with vicious beasts, the Landers—the ruling elite, have indentured her family to provide the maristags for the Glory Race, a deadly chariot tournament reserved for the upper class. The winning contender receives gold and glory. The others—if they’re lucky—survive.

TANVI BERWAH is a South Asian writer who grew up wanting to touch the stars and reach back in time. She graduated from the University of Delhi with a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Literature of English and lives in India. This is her debut novel.

When the last maristag of the year escapes, and Koral has no new maristag to sell, her family’s financial situation takes a turn for the worse, and they can’t afford medicine for her chronically ill little sister. Koral decides her only choice is to do what no one in the world has ever dared: she cheats her way into the Glory Race.

My Family and Other Criminals Sierra Godfrey

A woman must return to her hometown of Santa Cruz, CA to inherit her family home after her mother dies, and is reunited with her estranged brother and sister, whom she was responsible for sending to prison 15 years earlier • Upmarket, darkly funny family saga with commercial hook, perfect for millennial readers. • Reader favorite tropes: return to small town, reunited with estranged family, ticking clock to inherit family home. • Strong crossover appeal for romcom readers. Natalie Walker is the reason her brother and sister went to jail over 15 years ago. As a result, she hasn’t spoken to her family since. On the same day she expects to be promoted at her job (until her boyfriend Paul swoops in and takes the position), Natalie receives a letter from a lawyer in Santa Cruz saying her mother has died and the only way for her children to inherit their family’s large, historical home is for all three adult children to come back and claim it.

SIERRA GODFREY is a tech editor by day who loves writing stories about complex relationships. She lives in the foggy wastelands of the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, sons, and a bevy of animals, all of which seemed like a good idea at the time.

Natalie drives to Santa Cruz, expecting to sign some documents, see siblings Lynn and Jake, and get back to her life in Boston. But Jake, now an award-winning scientist, is missing. And Lynn, working as an undertaker in NYC, shows up with her teenaged son. While Natalie and her nephew look for Jake—meeting a very handsome Spanish scientist in the process—Natalie takes stock of her life and the guilt she has held dear for so many years. Though no one can change the past, every day is an opportunity to change how you want to live in the future.

Jacobs is a tireless self-promoter, with blurbs from Brad Thor, Angie Kim, and Karen Harper on his previous titles. • 90s nostalgia is a huge trend, and Always the First to Die offers a fascinating and immersive look at what it would be like to be on the set of a classic 90s slasher. Perfect for fans of Riley Sager and Lucy Foley. • With classic horror tropes, a locked room mystery, and remote Florida Keys setting, this is the perfect thriller read for every book club to talk about immediately (and in a trade paper format!).

After her husband’s death, Lexi has refused to return to the Pinecrest Estate on the Florida Keys, too many hard memories on the tiny strip of land. Memories of meeting her husband as a teenager on the set of an iconic horror movie shot at the dilapidated manor house. Of being cast as an extra, of watching herself get killed on screen. And of scoffing at the rumors of the Pinecrest Estate “curse,” until she witnessed a cast member die that very summer. But when her daughter insists on visiting her grandfather, legendary horror movie director Rick Plummer, Lexi finally agrees. That’s when a Category Four hurricane changes course, and hits the southern coast.

R. J. JACOBS has practiced as a psychologist since 2003. He maintains a private practice in Nashville, focusing on a wide variety of clinical concerns. After completing a post-doctoral residency at Vanderbilt, he has taught Abnormal Psychology, presented at numerous conferences, and routinely performs PTSD evaluations for veterans. He’s the author of And Then You Were Gone and Somewhere in the Dark, published by Crooked Lane. Find out more at rjjacobsauthor.com.

Unable to get through to her daughter, Lexi drives to the Keys in the wake of the storm. What she finds is an island without cell service, without power, and with limited police presence. A desolate bit of land, with only a few remaining behind: the horror director, the starlet once cast as the final girl, the young teenager searching for clues of her father, the mother determined to get off the island, and…the person picking them off one-by-one.

The Surgeon’s Daughter Audrey Blake She’s determined to revolutionize the field of medicine and save women’s lives by developing the Caesarean section surgery—but in doing so she’ll risk everything • Popular genre: Female-driven, historical fiction perfect for book clubs and readers of Marie Benedict. • Unique hook: Women in medical history is a fresh, unexplored space —and the story of women developing the Caesarean section is a story we’ve never seen before. In the 19th century, women rarely study medicine. This means that Nora Beady, the only woman in her medical school, constantly feels like an outsider. And when she is chosen to work with the only female professor to develop the Caesarean section, Nora draws the wrath of her male peers and professors. It’s a dangerous—and divisive—procedure that could save countless lives and revolutionize women’s health. But most doctors think it’s too risky, many don’t trust the findings of women, and husbands won’t let their wives undergo the procedure.

AUDREY BLAKE has a split personality— because she is the creative alter ego of Regina Sirois and Jaima Fixsen, two authors who met online in a survivor style writing contest. They live 1500 miles apart, but both are prairie girls: Jaima hails from Alberta, Canada, and Regina from the wheat fields of Kansas. Both are addicted to history, words, and stories of redoubtable women, and agree that their friendship, better and longer lasting than any other prize, is proof that good things happen in this random, crazy universe.

It only makes sense that Derick Haverford, Wren’s #1 pre-coming-out-crush and the drive-in’s new social media marketing intern, is a recipient of one of those emails.

What the Children Told Us The Untold Story of the Famous “Doll Test” and the Black Psychologists Who Changed the World Tim Spofford

For readers of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and Hidden Figures, What the Children Told Us tells the story of an iconic partnership that set the stage for decades of civil rights activism • Market: Readers continue to seek out stories of forgotten figures from history, particularly the stories of Black and other POC whose influences have been overlooked. • Author expertise: The author has devoted more than a decade to researching and writing the book and has exclusive access to the Clarks’ family photos and documents. • Incredible read: Well-drawn characters, an immersive setting, and important historical events and figures woven into the narrative make this an unputdownable read for fans of serious narrative history. As a young Black couple in the 194s, Kenneth Clark and Mamie Phipps knew the devastating impact of segregation firsthand. But the Clarks revealed the true impact of segregation in a psychological study that would resonate for decades to come, in which they asked Black children which kinds of baby dolls they preferred: brown or white. Two-thirds of the children surveyed chose the white doll, and some even denied their own skin color.

TIM SPOFFORD’s writing career has focused on racial issues in education. Spofford has taught writing and journalism in schools and colleges and has a Doctor of Arts in English degree from the State University of New York at Albany. His work has appeared in the New York Times, Newsday, Mother Jones, and other publications. He lives with his wife, Barbara, in St. Petersburg, Florida, and Lee, Massachusetts.

Paving the way for the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case and engaging in unrelenting activism over several decades, the Clarks’ story is one of courage, love, and an unfailing belief that Black children deserved better than what society was prepared to give them

Secrets of the Sprakkar Iceland’s Extraordinary Women and How They Are Changing the World Eliza Reid Michelle Obama’s Becoming meets Hygge in this insightful exploration of gender equity, written by the sitting First Lady of Iceland

DEBUT!

• Nordic trend: Perfect for fans of The Little Book of Hygge, and other readers interested in the culture of Nordic nations. • A feminist role model: In Secrets of the Sprakkar, Eliza Reid shows what gender equity looks like in real life and how it can be achieved within a national culture. • Distinct point of view: As an immigrant to Iceland and its sitting First Lady, Eliza brings both an insider and outsider perspective to Icelandic culture. • Author location: Eliza Reid resides in Iceland. Canadian-born writer Eliza Reid never expected to live in Iceland at all—much less become its First Lady. But after meeting her Icelandic husband at university, Eliza’s life transformed when he won the presidency. Her new position granted her remarkable insight into the roles of Icelandic women in business, politics, the home, and more. Eliza’s immigrant perspective offers an uplifting examination of Iceland’s reputation: one of the best places in the world to be a woman.

ELIZA REID is the co-founder of the acclaimed Iceland Writers Retreat. Eliza grew up near Ottawa, Canada and moved to Iceland in 2003. She is the sitting First Lady of Iceland.

The woman-focused inspiration of Michelle Obama’s Becoming meets Hygge in Secrets of the Sprakkar, exploring lessons we can all learn from the sprakkar (outstanding women) of our Nordic neighbors as we strive for gender equity.
