“ It’s Dolly Parton’s world and we’re all just living in it.” —Washington Post

“ Dolly ain’t never written a bad song.” —Lin-Manuel Miranda

“ Well, like a lot of little girls growing up in the South, I grew up loving Dolly Parton. Every Sunday night I’d stay up and watch her variety show with my mother, mouthing all the words to every single one of her songs. . . . What attracts me most to Dolly is that she’s never forgotten where she came from. She’s the keeper of the smoky mountain traditions and of bluegrass music, and one that takes great pleasure in seeing it spoken in musical traditions passed down from one generation to the next.”

“A refreshing aspect of this current wave of Dolly appreciation is that her songwriting talent is finally front and center.” —New York Times

“ For years when you do interviews, people say, ‘Well, who would you most like to interview?’ and, I’ve always said you [Dolly], because I saw an interview you did several years ago, and you reminded me so much of myself. You were just so. . . down, as they say. So down to earth.” —Oprah Winfrey

THE FLAVOR EQUATION The Science of Great Cooking Explained + More Than 100 Essential Recipes • By Nik Sharma

Nik demonstrates how spices, herbs, and pantry items can transform simple dishes, providing inspiration and knowledge to both home cooks and seasoned chefs. With just the right balance of accessibility (understandable science and go-to recipes) and beauty (colorful illustrations and more than 150 of Nik’s uniquely evocative photographs), The Flavor Equation is a book like no other for cooks of all stripes.

Television critic Allison Shoemaker looks at a wide selection of genres, from scripted comedies, dramas, and classics to reality and beyond, to rewire our thinking and show us how to take advantage of 24/7 access to this ever-evolving medium.

GUERRILLA GIRLS: THE ART OF BEHAVING BADLY by the Guerrilla Girls

In 1985, a bunch of feminist masked avengers began plastering posters all over downtown New York. They named galleries, museums, critics, collectors, and white male artists who contributed to an art system prejudiced against women and artists of color. Since then, the collective has produced hundreds of projects exposing bias and corruption in art, film, pop culture, and politics. Their unforgettable graphics have become a global phenomenon. This is the first book to document the Guerrilla Girls’ entire wild career of provocative street campaigns, media appearances, large-scale exhibitions at major museums, and more. The Guerrilla Girls contextualize their visuals and elaborate on their intersectional takedown of the patriarchy in their own words throughout the book. This isn’t a monograph—it’s a call to arms. It even comes with a punch-out gorilla mask inviting readers to become activists, too.

THE GUERRILLA GIRLS are a group of political artists who have been exposing gender biases and discrimination in art and culture for over 30 years.

SHE VOTES How U.S. Women Won Suffrage, and What Happened Next By Bridget Quinn • Foreword By Nell Irvin Painter Illustrations by 100 Women Artists

This is not your familiar history of women’s rights. It’s a collection of heart-pounding scenes and keenly observed portraits. Bridget Quinn tells an intersectional story of the women who won suffrage, and those who have continued to raise their voices for equality ever since—from Elizabeth Cady Stanton to Audre Lorde, and from the first female Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation to the first woman to wear pants on the Senate floor. In honor of the 100th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment in 2020, 100 women artists have contributed to this book. Each brings a unique perspective. Together, they embody the multiplicity of women in the United States. She Votes is a refreshing and illuminating book for feminists of all kinds.

VERY MERRY COCKTAILS

SCHMEGOOGLE Yiddish Words for Modern Times • By Daniel Klein

Schmegoogle (noun): someone so insignificant that if you Google their name, nothing comes up. Yiddish has long enriched English-language slang, and in today’s fast-changing world of apps, foodies, legal weed, and shifting social constructs, our need for the expressive wonders of Yiddish has never been greater. This hilariously useful lexicon of neologisms captures the flavor of life as we live it today, covering subjects including technology, family, dating, anxiety, insults, and more. Each of the more than 200 new terms rooted in real Yiddish are accompanied by funny use-it-in-a-sentence examples and entertaining etymology. Bothered by that unanswered drift of email piling up (e-chazerai), stuffed by food or worry (gifilted), or feeling like the dating app sends in only clowns (a zhlub magnet)? Schmegoogle is here to help. DANIEL KLEIN is a New York Times bestselling author. He lives in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. Also available: Did Jew Know?

MEN TO AVOID IN ART AND LIFE By Nicole Tersigni

In honor of all the women who have endured overbearing men over the centuries, Men to Avoid in Art and Life epitomizes the spirit of mansplaining with hilariously painful accuracy through witty pairings of classical fine art and modern captions. Whether it’s supplying keen insight on the female anatomy, providing an eloquent defense of catcalling, or offering sage advice about horseback riding to the woman who owns the horse, these less than qualified men of antiquity dish out mediocrity as if it’s pure genius. Through cringe-induced empathy, this timeless gift book of shared experiences unites women across history in one of the most powerful forms of resistance: laughter. NICOLE TERSIGNI is a comedic writer experienced in improv comedy and women’s advocacy. Her Twitter thread that inspired this book was a social media sensation. She lives in Detroit, Michigan.

DISTANT SHORES

Surfing the Ends of the Earth By Chris Burkard

Distant Shores is an impressive photographic record of Chris Burkard’s search for wild, remote surfing destinations around the globe. Burkard’s photographs are punctuated by energized landscapes and moments of bliss. With the ocean as his main muse, Burkard has consistently captured this subject in timeless and expansive photographs. Through his lens, surfing becomes a bridge between the comparatively humble, human figure juxtaposed against awe-inspiring and powerful, natural landscapes. After more than a decade on this quest, Burkard has established himself as a major photographer in the surf, outdoor, and adventure communities. CHRIS BURKARD is a California-based photographer with a fan base of over 3.5 million followers on Instagram. Burkard has published numerous books, won many awards, and was recently featured in an Apple ad campaign.

“IN WILDNESS IS THE PRESERVATION OF THE WORLD” FROM HENRY DAVID THOREAU PHOTOGRAPHS BY ELIOT PORTER Introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch

CHRONICLE CHROMA

JUNE 22, 1853

IN WILDNESS IS THE PRESERVATION OF THE WORLD

As I come over the hill, I hear the wood thrush singing his evening lay. This is the only bird whose note affects me like music, affects the flow and tenor of my thoughts, my fancy and imagination. It lifts and exhilarates me. … It is a medicative draught to my soul. It is an elixir to my eyes and a fountain of youth to all my senses. It changes all hours to an eternal morning. It banishes all trivialness. It reinstates me in my dominion, makes me the lord of creation, is chief musician of my court. This minstrel sings in a time, a heroic age, with which no event in the village can be contemporary. How can they be contemporary when only the latter is temporary at all? … So there is something in the music of the cow-bell, something sweeter and more nutritious, than in the milk which the farmers drink. This thrush’s song is a ranz des vaches to me. I long for wildness, a nature which I cannot put my foot through, woods where the woodthrush forever sings, where the hours are early morning ones, and there is a dew on the grass, and the day is forever unproved, where I might have a fertile unknown for a soil about me. I would go after the cows, I would watch the flocks of Admetus there forever, only for my board and clothes, a New Hampshire everlasting and unfallen. … All that was ripest and fairest in the wildness and the wild man is preserved and transmitted to us in the strain of the wood thrush. It is the mediator between barbarism and civilization. It is unrepentant as Greece.

From Henry David Thoreau Photographs by Eliot Porter

In Wildness is a vintage classic that pairs passages by writer Henry David Thoreau alongside images by photographer Eliot Porter. Porter and the Sierra Club founder, David Brower, first published this bestselling, long-out-of-print classic monograph in 1962, and it has been often referred to as “the very first coffee-table book.” Although Porter and Thoreau lived a century apart, their work beautifully exists side by side in this beloved book that advocates for the preservation of the natural environment.

OCTOBER 3, 1858 Standing on the railroad I look across the pond to Pine Hill, where the outside trees and the shrubs scattered generally through the wood glow through the green, yellow, and scarlet, like fires just kindled at the base of the trees,—a general conflagration just fairly under way, soon to envelop every tree. The hillside forest is all aglow along its edge and in all its cracks and fissures, and soon the flames will leap upwards to the tops of the tallest trees.

ELIOT PORTER (1901–1990) was an iconic American photographer, most often associated with his outstanding large-format color photographs of the natural world. HENRY DAVID THOREAU (1817–1862) was an American essayist, poet, and philosopher. A leading transcendentalist, Thoreau is beloved especially for his classic book, Walden. JANUARY 24, 1856

I have seen many a collection of stately elms which better deserved to be represented at the General Court than the manikins beneath,—than the barroom and victualling cellar and groceries they overshadowed. When I see their magnificent domes, miles away in the horizon, over intervening valleys and forests, they suggest a village, a community, there. But, after all, it is a secondary consideration whether there are human dwellings beneath them; these may have long since passed away. I find that into my idea of the village has entered more of the elm than of the human being. They are worth many a political borough. They constitute a borough. The poor human representative of his party sent out from beneath their shade will not suggest a tithe of the dignity, the true nobleness and comprehensiveness of view, the sturdiness and independence, and serene beneficence that they do. They look from township to township. … They battle with the tempests of a century. See what scars they bare, what limbs they lost before we were born! Yet they never adjourn; they steadily vote for their principles, and send their roots farther and wider from the same center. They die at their posts, and they leave a tough butt for the choppers to exercise themselves about, and a stump which serves for their monument. They attend no caucus, they make no compromise, they use no policy. Their one principle is growth. They combine a true radicalism with a true conservatism. Their radicalism is not a cutting away of roots, but an infinite multiplication and extension of them under all surrounding institutions. They take a firmer hold on the earth that they may rise higher into the heavens. … Their conservatism is a dead but solid heart-wood, which is the pivot and firm column of support to all this growth, appropriating nothing to itself, but forever by its support assisting to extend the area of their radicalism. Half a century after they are dead at the core, they are preserved by radical reforms. They do not, like men, from radicals turn conservatives. Their conservative part dies out first; their radical and growing part survives. They acquire new States and Territories, while the old dominions decay, and become the habitation of bears and owls and coons.

WE COULDN’T FIT ALL OF DUMPTY’S SCANDALS INTO JUST ONE INCREDIBLE BOOK, SO HERE’S ANOTHER—IN TIME FOR THE ELECTION!

TRUMPTY DUMPTY WANTED A CROWN

New York Times Bestseller

Verses for a Despotic Age • By John Lithgow

Following the success of New York Times bestseller Dumpty comes award-winning actor and national bestselling author John Lithgow’s next book of satirical poetry chronicling the era of Trump madness. Darker, funnier, and more hard-hitting than ever, Lithgow writes with poetic fury and cutting satire, taking readers verse-by-verse through the last year of the absurd and outrageous events surrounding Trump and his administration— including poems about the impeachment, Rudy Giuliani, Mick Mulvaney, Jay Sekulow, Jim Jordan, Roger Stone, and others. With completely new poems and never-before-seen line drawings, Lithgow will once again make readers laugh in frenzied times with this mix of striking and humorous prose—dismantling the reign of Dumpty one stanza at a time. RABID RUDY

What goes on with Rabid Rudy, Monster of ineptitudy? Dumpty’s spinning weathervane Botched his mission in Ukraine. Mixing bribes and dirty tricks, He soiled our geopolitics. Filled with rage and babbling bluster, “America’s Mayor” has lost his luster. JOHN LITHGOW is a prolific actor with two Tonys, six Emmys, two Golden Globes, and two Oscar nominations. He has starred in the hit TV series 3rd Rock from the Sun, Dexter, and The Crown, and in critically acclaimed films such as The World According to Garp, Terms of Endearment, Bombshell, and Late Night. He will also act in the forthcoming HBO series Perry Mason and the FX drama series The Old Man. Lithgow has appeared on Broadway twenty-five times and in England with both the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre. He is also the bestselling author of nine children’s picture books, and his recordings for kids have landed him four Grammy nominations.

IF YOU COME TO EARTH By Sophie Blackall

If you come to Earth, there are a few things you need to know . . . We live in all kinds of places. In all kinds of homes. In all kinds of families. Each of us is different. But all of us are amazing. And, together, we share one beautiful planet. Inspired by the thousands of children she has met during her travels around the world in support of UNICEF and Save the Children, Sophie Blackall has created a glorious guide to our home planet. Told as a heartwarming and funny letter from a young child, it is far more than a simple compendium, it is a call for us to take care of both Earth and each other. SOPHIE BLACKALL has illustrated many books, including the Ivy + Bean series and Ruby’s Wish. Originally from Australia, she now lives in Brooklyn, New York.

ON ACCOUNT OF THE GUM By Adam Rex

How do you get gum out of your hair—a pair of scissors? Butter? The cat? Call your aunt? Surely she’ll know what to do! She doesn’t? Try the fire department . In this book, the best intentions lead to some of the worst (and funniest) ideas! With each page turn, this situation—relatable to any family—grows stickier and more desperate. From the madcap mind of Adam Rex comes a book about one protagonist’s hilarious misadventures and the improbable, downright bizarre remedies for a problem kids have faced since the creation of gum. Serious humor abounds in this cumulative buildup of stuff stuck in hair, and the text’s unexpected turns, fun rhymes, and wacky suggestions make it prime for constant giggles and repeat reading.

ADAM REX is the New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of many beloved picture books and novels, including Nothing Rhymes with Orange, Why?, Unstoppable, and The True Meaning of Smekday (which was made into the major motion picture Home). He lives in Tucson, Arizona.

SCARED OF THE DARK? IT’S REALLY SCARED OF YOU By Peter Vegas • Illustrated by Benjamin Chaud

You may be afraid of the dark . . . but did you know that the dark is actually afraid of YOU? It’s true! The dark spends its days hiding from the light in your underwear drawer.

NEIGHBORS By Kasya Denisevich

They’re everywhere: next door, above, and even below. More often than not, they are a mystery, a presence suggested by low hums, footfalls, or perhaps a slammed door. These beguiling beings are neighbors. They are all around us and ever-present and yet, somehow, surprisingly elusive. This contemplative picture book by debut author-illustrator Kasya Denisevich explores the many ways we think about those we exist among but who remain strangers until we make the brave and affirming decision to connect. As Neighbors illustrates so beautifully, that moment of connection is a portal to a world of possibility. KASYA DENISEVICH is a Russian-born author and illustrator now living in Barcelona. Her work has been featured in the 2017 Bologna Book Fair Illustrators Exhibition. This is her first book.

BUTTERFLIES BELONG HERE A Story of One Idea, Thirty Kids, and a World of Butterflies By Deborah Hopkinson • Illustrated by Meilo So

I know what to look for: large black and orange wings with a border of small white specks, flitting from flower to flower, sipping nectar. But though I looked hard, I couldn’t find even one. I wondered if monarch butterflies belonged here. I wondered if I did, too. In this moving story of community conservation, a girl finds a home in a new place, and a way to help other small travelers. From Deborah Hopkinson and Meilo So, the acclaimed team behind Follow the Moon Home, comes a powerful story of everyday activism and hope, and proof that even the smallest of us are capable of amazing transformations.

H“ The vital environmental message and the vibrantly imagined, quirky characters will garner hefty enthusiasm for future installments.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“J on Scieszka, the groundbreaking storyteller and master of wit, brings us a smart and hilarious adventure. AstroNuts doesn’t just break new ground—it breaks outer space! Brilliant.” —Dav Pilkey, bestselling author of the Dog Man and Captain Underpants series

ASTRONUTS MISSION TWO: THE WATER PLANET By Jon Scieszka • Illustrated by Steven Weinberg

This uproarious and visually groundbreaking read is the second book in a major new series by children’s literature legend Jon Scieszka. Featuring full-color illustrations, an out-of-this-world gatefold, distinctive page edges, and how-to-draw pages in the back, this new mission will send young readers over the moon. AstroWolf, LaserShark, SmartHawk, and StinkBug must find a planet fit for human life after Earth becomes unlivable.

Stunning visual sophistication and compelling infographics highlight a sweeping range of facts about all aspects of sound, spanning everything from silence to ear-shattering din. Far more than just an introduction to our vivid and noisy sensory world, this extraordinary volume is at once an immediately accessible, science-intensive illumination of an endlessly fascinating subject and a sensitive and even philosophic exploration of how sound impacts our everyday lives. Sound investigates not just physical sound, but our perception of sound, the recognition of beauty and music, and for those of us who are deaf, how we navigate in a silent world.

BENBEE AND THE TEACHER GRIEFER The Kids Under the Stairs

PRAISE FOR HOUSE ARREST:

“ Serious and funny, thrilling and touching, sweet and snarky.” —School Library Journal

By K. A. Holt

Ben Bellows and three classmates are stuck in summer school. But these kids aren’t dumb—they’re divergent thinkers, as Ms. J tells them. Soon, they win over Ms. J with their passion for Sandbox, a Minecraft-type game. Ben B makes a deal with Ms. J: Every minute they read aloud, they get to play one of Sandbox. But when the administration finds out about this unorthodox teaching method, Ben B and his buds have to band together to save their teacher’s job—and their own academic future. This laugh-out-loud novel in verse, each chapter told in a different style reflecting the different perspective of each of the four students, is the first in a series of complementary stories and an honest heartfelt book about friendship, school, and videogames that celebrates different types of intelligence and encourages even the most reluctant reader to embrace their own “divergent” self.

PRAISE FOR RHYME SCHEMER:

“ Richly imaginative. . . . Eccentric, entertaining, essential. Verse novels will never be the same.” —Kwame Alexander, author of Newbery Medal winner The Crossover

K. A. HOLT is the acclaimed author of Rhyme Schemer, House Arrest, and Redwood and Ponytail. She lives in Austin, Texas.

KNOCKOUT

THE WAY PAST WINTER

By K. A. Holt

By Kiran Millwood Hargrave

A New York Public Library Best Book of the Year, Knockout tells the story of Levi, a kid struggling to be treated like a normal kid. He’s recovered from childhood respiratory issues, but his mom and brother still think of him as damaged, and his schoolmates will always see him as the class clown. He feels stuck. Until his dad—divorced from his mom—suggests he take up boxing and he falls in love with the sport. And when he finds out about a school with a killer boxing team and a free-study curriculum, it feels like he’s found a ticket to a new Levi. If only it were that easy! How can he convince his family to set him free?

Inspired by European folklore, this classic adventure story evokes the best of the middle grade fantasy genre. Mila, her sisters, and her brother Oskar live in a small forest cabin, surviving in a world gripped by frost and snow. After mysterious men abduct Oskar, Mila and her sisters set out on a mission to rescue him. But challenges await them at every turn: wolves with the speed of demons, wild gold-eyed eagles, an untrustworthy mage—and always the relentless, stinging freeze of ice. The award-winning author Kiran Millwood Hargrave unleashes magic, an eternal winter, and one girl’s unbreakable determination to reunite her family in this page-turning adventure. KIRAN MILLWOOD HARGRAVE is a bestselling author and winner of many prestigious awards for her books. She lives in the UK.

Ace a Test Spell If you have a difficult test coming up, this spell will help you remember all the material you have already been hard at work learning. The spell isn’t so magical that you don’t have to study, though!

Place the stone in the small bag, pour the herb mixture on top of it, and seal the bag. Place the bag under your pillow, and then go to bed early. Bring the bag to your test and carry it in your pocket or backpack. Believe that all of the knowledge you could ever need for the test is with you, and watch yourself succeed.

materials needed A quartz crystal A small sealable bag, pouch, or sachet A mixture of dried thyme, basil, and rosemary (a couple pinches of each)

Perform this spell the night before an important test. After you have finished studying, place the quartz crystal on top of the computer, textbook, or papers from which you’ve been reading. Put your hands on top of the stone and visualize all of the knowledge and important information flowing from the study materials to the stone. Speak the incantation: “Magical stone, clarify the knowledge I’ve worked hard for and gained. Solidify this knowledge tonight in my dreams, so that tomorrow I will answer every question correctly. Tomorrow I will get a high score on my test.”

Puddle-Jumping Spell

THE LITTLE WITCH’S BOOK OF SPELLS

Sometimes there’s nothing more fun than jumping in a puddle and getting messy like you just don’t care. On a rainy day when you’d rather be running wild and free outdoors than cooped up inside, this is an ideal happiness spell. This spell can also be adapted for autumn leaf-pile jumping or winter snowbank playing.

By Ariel Kusby • Illustrated by Olga Baumert

This enchanting compendium of spells, potions, and activities is a playful and immersive guidebook to all things magical! Young witches in training will discover spells to resolve problems, foster friendship, and engage with the natural world, alongside guides to craft a magic wand, befriend a fairy, and read tea leaves, as well as glossaries of magical terms and symbols. Accompanied by lush illustrations, this spellbinding book harnesses magic and the imagination to help little witches feel powerful, tap into creative energy, and practice self-love, all through simple activities and easily found ingredients. Steeped in fantasy lore yet remarkably accessible, this is the mystical, fun, and empowering book of spells that any child enthralled by the magical world would dream of discovering.

materials needed Clothes you can get wet and dirty Rain boots or waterproof shoes A happiness sigil (see page 79) A piece of chalk A puddle somewhere outside

Put on your puddle-jumping clothes and rain boots. Make up a sigil that will help to bring you happiness. It can simply say “I am happy” or it can ask for something more specific, like “I make new friends” or “I am an amazing hockey player.” Draw the sigil on the bottom of your right rain boot with chalk.

Early wood type design can be classified into a series of standard parent styles shown in the diagram to the right. A wide range of variations were developed by the experienced type cutters employed by Hamilton’s major predecessors: J. G. Cooley and Heber Wells in New York; E. R . Webb of New York; Edwin Allen and William Page in Connecticut. There was much competition between 1830 and 1880, with each company vying for control, regularly

pirating designs from each other to respond to the latest trends in an ever-growing market. When J. E. Hamilton founded his company in 1880, he included these designs, along with his own modified versions, in his catalogs. As the design of wood type proliferated based on the skill of type cutters and the whims of public taste, styles evolved and hybrids were born, making the specimen books of the early WOOD TYPE MAKERS A

The simple form of Gothic type was often stretched and pulled in a variety of directions to the extreme; Both italics and its crazy twin, backslant, were popular variations of Gothic fonts in nineteenth-century printing. This collection of postcards represents a small sampling of the typographic styles housed at Hamilton.
