LE SUD Recipes from Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur

By Rebekah Peppler • Photographs by Joann Pai

From James Beard Book Award finalist Rebekah Peppler comes the definitive guide to the food, drink, and lifestyle of southeastern France, featuring 100 recipes that reflect the simple, seasonal, and multicultural French table from a modern perspective. For centuries, artists, vacationers, and food writers have fallen hard for the charms of the south of France. And like many regions where landscapes and people happily crash into each other, the food is dynamic and exciting. In Le Sud, Peppler distills the flavors, techniques, and spirit of Provence, the Alps, and Côte d’Azur into a never-before-seen collection that gives us a fresh new look at the region. This cookbook and lifestyle guide shares 100 sweet, savory, and cocktail recipes along with 100+ transporting photographs that expand our perception from lavender fields and afternoon pastis to a geographically and culturally diverse region of ocean, rivers, mountains, marshes,

and plains and the delicious dishes that represent them. As in À Table—her inspiring cookbook about dining the Parisian way—Peppler prioritizes simplicity over complicated techniques and sketches the meals that fuel simple gatherings, hikes, and days at the beach. Sidebars and primers elevate a reader’s knowledge of southern French staples: wines of the region, after-dinner drinking, how little one can wear to the beach, and healing by the sea. Le Sud is more than a recipe book; it is also a deep celebration of this historic, diverse, abundant, enchanting region that has captured the imaginations of so many.

REBEKAH PEPPLER is a part-time Angeleno and part-time Parisbased food writer and stylist.

A FEW RULES FOR PREDICTING THE FUTURE An Essay

By Octavia E. Butler • Art by Manzel Bowman

The wise words of science fiction icon Octavia E. Butler live on in this beautiful and giftable little volume. Originally published in Essence magazine in 2000, Butler’s essay offers an honest look into the inspiration behind her science fiction novels and the importance of studying history and taking responsibility for our actions. Organized into four main rules, this short essay reminds readers to learn from the past, respect the law of consequences, be aware of their perspectives, and count on the surprises. Citing the warning signs of fascism, the illusive effects of fear and wishful thinking, and the unpredictable nature of what is yet to come, Butler shares realistic but hopeful suggestions to shape our future into something good. An inspiring and motivational gift, this exquisite book includes stunning Afrofuturist artwork

by Manzel Bowman.

OCTAVIA E. BUTLER (1947–2006) was a renowned African American author of several award-winning novels, including Parable of the Sower, which was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year in 1993, and Parable of the Talents, winner of the Nebula Award for the best science fiction novel in 1995. She received a MacArthur Genius Grant and PEN West Lifetime Achievement Award for her body of work and was acclaimed for her lean prose, strong protagonists, and social observations in stories that range from the distant past to the far future.

THAT’S SO NEW YORK Short (and Very Short) Stories about the Greatest City on Earth • By Dan Saltzstein

Charming, poignant, and occasionally salacious, That’s So New York is brimming with little snapshots of humanity that make one thing clear: There’s no place like New York. New York Times editor and lifelong New Yorker Dan Saltzstein compiles hundreds of distinctly New York moments for this peek at the city that never sleeps. Inspired by Saltzstein’s viral Twitter thread, this illustrated book features hilarious anecdotes from locals and transplants, short essays from folks like Molly Jong-Fast and Michael Ian Black, who have seen it all, and Q&As with everyday New Yorkers from across the five boroughs. Eels wriggling through subway cars, accidentally stumbling onto the set of Law & Order, drag queens emerging from manholes—if there’s one thing New York never runs out of, it’s stories. And rats. Always rats.

DAN SALTZSTEIN has worked mostly as an editor at the New York Times for over 25 years. He lives in Woodside, Queens.

DISAPPOINTING AFFIRMATIONS

By Dave Tarnowski

From the wildly popular Instagram account, Disappointing Affirmations hilariously counters the culture of relentless toxic positivity with a realistic take on a disappointing world where failure is always an option, but that’s okay. Pairing lovely vacation photos taken by the author himself with sayings that are amusingly self-critical, encouraging, disillusioned, or all three at once, Tarnowski points to feelings commonly unacknowledged or hidden and spotlights them with humor, wit, and empathy.

Transforming and re-envisioning the material for print while adding tons of new work, this is the funny-because-it’s-true, sneaky self-help gift book for anyone who isn’t happy all the time and doesn’t feel seen in the whole “positive mental attitude” culture. Unfollow your dreams!

A BRIEF ATLAS OF THE LIGHTHOUSES AT THE END OF THE WORLD

By Jose Luis González Macías

A unique illustrated exploration of our favorite oceanic beacons and their haunted histories. There is something beautiful and wild in the impossible architecture of lighthouses. These precariously perched structures have been the homes and workplaces of keepers whose romantic guardianship has saved countless lives from cruel seas. While that way of life may have faded away, as the lights go out and the buildings crumble, we still have their stories. This collection of more than 30 tales spans the heights and depths of human experience: the blind lighthouse keeper tending a light in the Arctic Circle, the intrepid young woman saving ships from wreck beginning at just age 12, the desperate plight of a crew cut off for 40 days with meager supplies, the lighthouse haunted by the clacking sound of a long-passed keeper’s ghostly typewriter. Interweaving literary

inspiration and elements from Jules Verne, Virginia Woolf, and Edgar Allan Poe and accompanied by beautiful illustrations, nautical charts, maps, architectural plans, and curious facts, these illuminating stories will transport the reader in a book as full of wonder as the far-flung lighthouses themselves.

JOSE LUIS GONZÁLEZ MACÍAS is a Spanish writer, graphic designer, and publisher. Recipient of Spain’s Letras Jóvenes award for his short stories and poems, he’s also crafted publication design for many museums and cultural institutions.

This photographic celebration of queer love and excellence gathers fourteen LGBTQ+ power couples, offering a glimpse into the journeys that led to their meaningful relationships and thriving careers. From designer Debbie Millman’s ardent courtship of writer Roxane Gay to the romantic and creative relationship forged between Perfume Genius bandmates Mike Hadreas and Alan Wyffels on stage during their first world tour, this beautiful book offers a closer look into the lives of 14 inspiring LGBTQ+ couples and the meet-cutes, success stories, and personal reflections that made them the role models they are today.

These icons come from a range of backgrounds—they are trailblazers who lead research labs, kitchens, and news organizations; create life-giving art and music; and tell queer stories in award-winning books, films, and television shows. With in-depth original interviews by journalist Hannah Murphy Winter and

intimate photography by their wife, Billie Winter, this diverse collection is a jubilant celebration of queer love and an empowering reminder to younger LGBTQ+ generations of their limitless possibilities.

HANNAH MURPHY WINTER (she/they) is a journalist who writes about queerness and policies that impact LGBTQ+ lives. Her work frequently appears in Rolling Stone. She lives in Seattle with her wife, Billie Winter, three cats they found in their shed, and their rescue dog, Pippin.

THE VIBRANT HONG KONG TABLE 88 Iconic Vegan Recipes from Dim Sum to Sweet Buns • By Christine Wong

A visual and sumptuous ode to Hong Kong that reimagines 88 classic and iconic dishes as colorful and beautiful plant-based meals. A common Chinese greeting is 食咗飯未呀 ? “Have you eaten (rice) yet?” which is how Christine Wong’s paternal grandmother would welcome her home during her childhood in Hong Kong. Food was the language of love, with birthdays and special events always celebrated with family meals, from 9-course banquet-style restaurant feasts to simple home-cooked dinners.

After leaving Hong Kong and adopting a vegan lifestyle for health and sustainability reasons, Christine yearned to recreate the flavors and textures of her family’s food at home without animal by-products. Organized by a day of eating through the city and paying homage to its culinary heritage, these fresh, bright, vegetable-based recipes celebrate many of Hong Kong’s most iconic dishes with a vegan twist. “Hong Kong Highlights,”

included throughout, showcase cultural customs such as balancing yin and yang and sharing food family-style. And Mama Wong’s tips for using ingredients like lotus root, taro, and salted oranges, offer an immersive experience of Hong Kong’s culinary and societal traditions. With beautiful imagery, intimate storytelling, and easy-to-follow instructions, The Vibrant Hong Kong Table is a treasury of fresh and inspiring vegan meals straight from the heart of this magnificent city to your home.

CHRISTINE WONG is a cook and certified health coach with a focus on environmental sustainability. She hosts workshops that celebrate the joy of preparing dishes with a focus on fresh ingredients and mindfulness toward sustainable choices. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.

PORTRAIT OF A WOMAN Art, Rivalry, and Revolution in the Life of Adélaïde Labille-Guiard • By Bridget Quinn

Discover the story of Adélaïde Labille-Guiard—a long-ignored artist and feminist of 18-century France—in this imaginative and illuminating biography from an award-winning writer.

Born in Paris in 1749, Labille-Guiard rose from shopkeeper’s daughter to an official portraitist of the royal court—only to have her achievements reduced to ash by the French Revolution.

While she defied societal barriers to become a member of the exclusive Académie Royale and a mentor for other ambitious women painters, she left behind few writings, and her legacy was long overshadowed by celebrated portraitist and memoirist Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun. But Adélaïde Labille-Guiard’s story lives on. In this engaging biography, Bridget Quinn offers a fascinating new perspective on the artist’s feminism, her sexuality, and her vision of the world. This is a compelling and inspiring look at an artist too long overlooked.

BRIDGET QUINN is a writer, art historian, and critic. She is a soughtafter speaker on women and art. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.

FLOWERS FOR THINGS I DON’T KNOW HOW TO SAY

By Tucker Nichols

This unique gift book is a reminder that whatever someone may be going through, they always deserve flowers. When it’s the most difficult to find the right words, we turn to flowers to express our compassion and care. This is like a bouquet of flowers in book form. Based on Tucker Nichols’s celebrated multimedia art project entitled Flowers for Sick People, this volume gathers vibrant floral paintings and pairs them with poetic dedications that pay tribute to a kaleidoscope of human experiences, from acts of unsung heroism to mundane moments of everyday beauty: “Flowers for Anyone Currently Eating a Cinnamon Bun in a Hospital Cafeteria,” “Flowers for the Last Time You Laughed So Hard It Hurt,” “Flowers for Spectacular Failures,” and more.

Deeply relatable and equal parts heart-wrenching and humorous, this is a gift of comfort and encouragement in any moment and a salve for the loneliness that can come in life’s toughest times.

TUCKER NICHOLS is an artist based in San Rafael, California. His work has been featured at the Drawing Center in New York, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Denver Art Museum, Den Frie Museum in Copenhagen, and Asian Art Museum in San Francisco.

Addie Ant was quite happy in the Tomato Bed she lived in with her Aunt Gertie and Aunt Zelda, but she had always longed to adventure her way across the great big garden to the far side of the shed where the watermelons and sunflowers grew.

Addie loved when Lewis got carried away with their floral descriptions, but it made her even more antsy to journey on to the next bed. “How exciting! I do need to be on my way though, Lewis,” Addie said as she looked up at the sun, realizing it was already midday.

“Ah, yes! Right,” Lewis said, remembering their initial point.

“Head just past the Cucumber Bed, and when you reach the Big Shed, hang a right and then a quick left, and you’ll be there.”

ADDIE ANT GOES ON AN ADVENTURE

By Maren Morris & Karina Argow Illustrated by Kelly Anne Dalton

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Maren Morris and former schoolteacher Karina Argow have together written their picture-book debut, Addie Ant Goes on an Adventure. This delightful story of one little ant’s journey for independence while realizing when to ask for help is set against the backdrop of a vast and abundant garden inhabited by some very helpful insect friends.

Addie Ant travels from one garden bed to another on her first solo adventure. As she forges her own path, she gets lost along the way and finds help from her trusted garden pals, Lewis Ladybug, Beatrix Butterfly, and Cleo Cricket, to find her way back home.

MAREN MORRIS is a celebrated singer-songwriter, CEO, and Texan.

She is the recipient of many top music awards including five Country Music Association Awards, five Academy of Country Music Awards, and one Grammy Award. Morris is a leading voice in country music for change and equality in the music industry. She and her son, Hayes, reside in Nashville, Tennessee.

For once, Lewis had not exaggerated. Not even a little bit. There were giant, green-striped globes positively falling over the walls of the Watermelon Bed. Millions of flowers were abloom, and in the middle of it all, there was Beatrix Butterfly spreading her gorgeous, velvety wings.

“Cleo?

I know Cleo Cricket!”

Addie exhaled with relief.

Cleo Cricket came to the Tomato Bed once a week to practice her chirping scales, and Addie always loved Cleo’s unique tone that no one else had in all of the garden.

“Hello, Addie!” Cleo exclaimed. “Did you know that I work part-time as a cricket carriage?” she asked when she saw the little ant’s surprised expression.

“What’s a cricket carriage?” Addie asked.

“You’re looking at her! Hop on.”

KARINA ARGOW is a Nashville-based former high school English teacher, an avid gardener, and a close friend of Maren Morris.

CAMO 20

“The eyes that have seen an ocean cannot be satisfied with a mere lagoon.”

“Macho yaliyotazama bahari hayatosheki na wangwa.”

Monacle constructed from wire hanger.

“You are not born a leader, you become one.”

CAMO 31

In Camo 20, the multi-use metal strip is reinterpreted into a new, eye catching focal point that demands attention and intrigue. The work explores the potential hidden within the mundane, providing a unique and thought-provoking twist that leaves you hung on its captivating charm.

At first glance, this dapper monocle seems to be a bespoke accent to a swirling pink story, but in fact, it is ingeniously crafted from a simple and unglamorous clothing hanger. Ubiquitous in the wardrobe of the hard working Kenyan, these unappealing hangers find new life as props, hooks, impromptu TV antennas, and even latches to stubborn doors.

“Huzaliwi kiongozi, wajitahidi kuwa kiongozi.”

These constructed images are not digital manipulations but physical sets that incorporate African Ankara wax textiles as backdrops, custom-tailored clothing and headdresses, and bold accessories made from everyday household objects.

Throughout the book, each image is paired with an inspirational African proverb in both English and Kiswahili, expressing the collected wisdom of generations. Sayings such as “With a little seed of imagination, you can grow a field of hope” convey the uplifting spirit of Muriu’s work, which empowers women, preserves tradition, and celebrates African beauty and culture.

A visually stunning art book and cultural touchstone, Camo is a collectible treasure as the first book to showcase the work of a rising star in the world of photography and art.

“Lazima utende kana kwamba haiwezekani kushindwa.”

Africa boasts a rich history of female leadership- from queens and female chiefs to strong political leaders, all of whom have left behind successful legacies.

Female pharaohs, such as Cleopatra and Nefertiti ruled ancient Egypt. Queen Nzinga, the warrior queen, commanded an army composed almost entirely of women and was a fierce barrier against enslavement of her Congolese people. In Kenya, Chief Wangu defied societal norms, becoming the only female tribal leader during the fight for independence in a time when the position was held exclusively by men.

Her Everlasting Legacy honours all these African female leaders of the ages, whose long-lasting impact have shaped the collective heritage of the continent and became the centre points of African legacy. Their contributions inspire generations to come, serving as an inspiring highlight to the strength and leadership capabilities of women.

Eyewear constructed from hair combs.

“A person is a person because of other people.”

“Mtu ni mtu kwa sababu ya watu wengine.”

Every Kenyan woman’s secret weapon is her personal tailor. A woman’s tailor is a hidden advantage she fiercely guards, whispering it only to her closest friends. For it is her tailor who lets her know when the newest fabric stock is available so that she can get the first pick and design a bespoke dress.

Seamstresses not only construct beautiful creations, but become image consultants- convincing their clients to try new looks or bolder details. A flattering cut, perfect pattern alignment and neat stitching are the hallmarks of a masterful creation coveted by others.

In her own creative process Thandiwe instinctively participates in this cultural practice. Designing the garments worn by her subjects, she collaborates closely with her own Secret Weapon, her tailors, to bring those custom pieces to life. Every Camo print is marked by precision and intentionality as she chronicles the ever evolving journey of African beauty.

Eyewear constructed from spools of thread.

CHRONICLE CHROMA

THANDIWE MURIU, born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya, discovered photography at age fourteen, experimenting with her father’s old Nikon camera. Muriu has collaborated with brands such as Apple, Dior, and Lavazza, and has exhibited her work internationally.

“You must act as if it is impossible to fail.”

134

As the sole woman operating in the male-dominated advertising photography industry in Kenya, Thandiwe Muriu has repeatedly confronted questions around the role of women in society, the place of tradition, and her own self-perception. These experiences inspired her personal project of cultural reflection: the Camo series.

An everyday item becomes a power woman’s enhancement. Green aviators, a statement piece for the high necked domina, are crafted from steel wool scouring pads. Steel wool is found in every homestead in Kenya because it efficiently scrubs the commonly used Sufuria–– Kiswahili for ‘aluminium cooking pot’–– to shining perfection. It is a mark of pride for every good Kenyan housewife to have her collection of sufurias glistening in silver brilliance. Thandiwe has many fond memories of dishwashing in her childhood, using steel wool to quickly scour the sufurias used to cook that day’s family meal, then stacking them like a Russian babushka doll before dashing off to grab her camera for a photo session with her sisters.

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT (CAN BE) Stories of People, Climate, and Hope in a Changing World • By Bill Weir

Award-winning journalist Bill Weir takes readers through time and around our changing world to confront the biggest threats to life as we know it and search for proven ways to build happier, healthier, and more resilient communities, come what may.

While reporting from every state and continent, and filming his acclaimed CNN original series, The Wonder List, Bill has spent decades telling the stories of unique people, places, cultures, and creatures on the brink of change. And as the first chief climate correspondent in network news, he is immersed in the latest scientific warnings and breakthroughs while often on the frontlines of disasters, natural and manmade. After the birth of his son in April 2020, Bill began distilling these experiences into a series of Earth Day letters for his boy to read in 2050, weaving the worry and wonder into a reminder to other anxious parents that they are not alone and a better future can still be written.

It’s hard to find anyone who believes that the land or your birth in the Age of Unreason is normally functioning or peaceful. And what happens now that flood, drought, fire, storm and pandemic are no longer rare but expected?

By most calculations, climate change will only steepen our pyramids, making it increasingly harder to reach peak potential, unless . . . We flip it. Unless we decide that the very best versions of ourselves must begin at the bottom of the pyramid. Unless we decide that the next-level Love and Esteem that we want can only come if Planet Earth’s needs come first. The kind of Love and Esteem that only comes in guaranteeing a clean sip of air and water for every living thing, forever.

With a storyteller’s flair, Bill digs into fascinating corners of history, psychology, technology, and his own biography to connect the lessons he’s collected. Life As We Know It (Can Be) is a celebration of the wonders of our planet, a meditation on the human wants and needs that drive it out of balance, and an inspiration for communities to galvanize around nature and each other as the very best way to brace for what’s next.

BILL WEIR is an award-winning journalist and chief climate correspondent for CNN.

Thinking like a chess player can change your life.

I’m not writing those words just because I’ve spent more than four decades studying, playing, coaching, and commentating on chess.

The 605 million people worldwide who play regularly would agree.

School sys­tems in several countries have included chess in their curricula because educators know that the game helps develop analytical and strategic thinking, abstract rea­soning, concentration, focus, patience, grit, determi­nation, memory, creativity, self-awareness, and respect for the genius in others.

MOVE BY MOVE Life Lessons on and off the Chessboard

By Maurice Ashley

A book of life advice drawing on the timeless wisdom of chess from Maurice Ashley, who at age 33, became the first African American to attain the rank of International Grand Master of Chess. Since that historic moment, he has brought his love of the game to a wide audience as an educator, innovator, and motivational speaker. In Move by Move, Ashley guides readers through the essential lessons that chess has taught him about life, using personal examples from his rise from an immigrant kid playing matches in Brooklyn parks to the most rarified levels of competition, as well as insights and anecdotes from fellow notable chess players. In short chapters with practical takeaways, this book reaches from the fundamental to the counterintuitive on subjects ranging from self-knowledge to strategic thinking to the importance of failure. Perfect for anyone interested in understanding how lessons from the most famous game of strategy can help you reach your goals.

Sigh: In moments of parental overwhelm, take a breath all the

way into your belly. Imagine it’s a sigh of relief. Sighs help you stop and center yourself instead of reacting to the “should” in your head.

See: Notice what’s going on. See your child. Are they happy?

Are they close to tears? Are their fists balled in anger?

Start: Then, and only then, start listening, and start thinking

about what an appropriate reaction would be. Do they need a hug? Some space? Something else?

Dr. Escalante outlines her 3-step science-based approach to escaping the ShouldStorm and embracing should-free mindful parenting. She clearly explains how to implement this approach in everyday situations and shares real results from parents and children who use the technique.

A playful, imaginative story of friendship, empathy, and discovery

by Caldecott Honor winner Brendan Wenzel.

TWO TOGETHER

By Brendan Wenzel

In this companion book to They All Saw a Cat and Inside Cat, a journey home leads to unexpected adventures for a cat and dog.

Cat and Dog are headed home. A simple route lies ahead of them . . . or does it? There’s so much to see and smell and hear, and the two of them experience the world very differently.

A stream, for instance, is watery fun for Dog, but it may not be so delightful for Cat! As their journey becomes an adventure full of twists and turns, Cat and Dog show that it’s possible for two creatures to travel in the world together despite their distinctive perspectives and abilities—and even to appreciate and enjoy them. With the irresistible read-aloud appeal of Brendan Wenzel’s They All Saw a Cat, winner of the Caldecott Honor, this is a funny, exuberant tale that’s an imaginative tribute to empathy, friendship, and understanding.

COMET CHASER The True Cinderella Story of Caroline Herschel, the First Professional Woman Astronomer

By Pamela S. Turner Illustrated by Vivien Mildenberger

The thrilling and beautifully illustrated biography of Caroline Herschel, who made a lifetime of incredible contributions to science. She was the first woman to discover a comet, the first officially recognized in a scientific role, and the first to be given a Gold Medal by the Royal Astronomical Society. In a day when girls were barely educated at all, Caroline’s father taught her math and music, but her mother saw her as little more than a household servant. Everything changed when her brother took her from Germany to England where they started building telescopes in their free time, gradually making them larger and larger, and discovering new comets—even new planets! When the great astronomers of the day came to see for themselves, they found that the Herschels had made the best telescopes of their time.

From household drudge to belle of the scientific ball, Caroline

Herschel won international prizes never before awarded to a woman and earned a professional wage from the king. She and her discoveries remain as stunning today as they were then. In this delightfully imaginative retelling of Caroline’s career, her fairy godmother is none other than her own bright intelligence, hard work, and passion for science.

PAMELA S. TURNER is the author of several acclaimed nonfiction books and lives in Oakland, California.

VIVIEN MILDENBERGER has worked on many award-winning books, including the Robert F. Sibert Honor winner All In a Drop. She lives near Nashville, Tennessee.

ON A SUMMER NIGHT

By Deborah Hopkinson • Illustrated by Kenard Pak

Step into the quiet magic of this celebration of summer nighttime and the mystery of a world lit differently by the moon. On a summer night, the world is still. Even the crickets think it’s too hot to sing. But all at once, a girl wakes. In the kitchen, the cat rolls onto its soft paws. A neighbor’s small white dog yaps, a brown rabbit peeks from a hedge, and the leaves of a cherry tree begin to stir in the breeze. Readers witness and wonder: Who has woken them all? In this soothing bedtime story, the quiet of a warm summer night is brought to vivid, magical life with the soft steps of bare feet, the padding of paws, and the bright, golden light of the moon. One by one, each creature is roused and then gently returned to sleep in a lovely and lyrical exploration of wakefulness, restfulness, and the mysterious calm of the night.

DEBORAH HOPKINSON is the author of many books for young readers and lives near Portland, Oregon.

KENARD PAK is a picture book illustrator and animation art director living in San Francisco.

TREASURE OF MEASURES

By Mike Downs • Illustrated by Joy Hwang Ruiz

There are so many little life moments to measure—and so many creative ways to measure them! How do you measure how long it takes to read a good book? Sure, you can use units of time, like minutes or hours . . . but you can also use your very own measurements: how many times you laugh or cry, how many pages you turn, or how many times you ask to read it again.

And measuring rainfall could mean using decibels of sound or how many people you see opening umbrellas. This playful picture book introduces young readers to different units of measurement, then invites them to think of creative ways to quantify the meaningful moments in their lives. The possibilities are as limitless as the imagination!

MIKE DOWNS is the author of more than 30 children’s books. He lives in Florida.

FINDING GRATEFUL

By Dianne White • Illustrated by Faith Pray

A heartfelt picture book that celebrates embracing the moment and finding gratitude right here, right now. What does grateful look like? How does it feel? How do you find it?

With evocative, lyrical prose, this warmly illustrated children’s book is a reminder to pause, reflect, and take in the glimmers of positivity and connection that can be found amid even the most difficult circumstances. Both a timely meditation on finding gratitude in everyday moments and a timeless ode to the simple joy of truly being present, Finding Grateful encourages readers to slow down and embrace the beauty of being right where they are.

TOO MANY GOLEMS

By Jane Yolen • Illustrated by Maya Shleifer

Award-winning author Jane Yolen brings us a delightfully humorous tale inspired by Jewish folklore of a well-intentioned but mischievous boy who accidentally summons 10 golems.

The rabbi’s son, Abi, has a habit of getting in trouble. It’s not on purpose, and usually, they’re harmless accidents. But this time, Abi has stolen a scroll from the synagogue—to practice his Hebrew!— and is not ready for what, or rather, who will show up at his front door as a result. The golems Abi summons may look monstrous, but we soon learn they are only there to help! With beloved author Jane Yolen’s signature wit and delightful illustrations by Maya Shleifer, Too Many Golems conveys the unexpected joy of magical accidents and the importance of being a good neighbor to all.

JANE YOLEN, hailed as the Hans Christian Andersen of America, has written more than 400 books, won numerous awards, and received 6 honorary doctorates in literature. She lives in Western Massachusetts.

A gift from Mexico alights on María Mariposa’s windowsill on her first day of school in a brand-new country: “¡Una mariposa!”/ “A butterfly!” And with the butterfly, in comes magic. Filled from her toes to her new butterfly wings with memories of home, María knows exactly who she is. But when everything at school is different and strange, doubt begins to make María’s confidence fade away. The place she comes from, the community she loves, the magic inside her . . . does any of it really belong in her new life in the United States? With courage and compassion, this picture book confronts the most difficult moments—and feelings—of being new, sweeping readers up in a powerful celebration of the magic we each contribute to the world.

Addie loved when Lewis got carried away with their floral descriptions, but it made her even more antsy to journey on to the next bed. “How exciting! I do need to be on my way though, Lewis,” Addie said as she looked up at the sun, realizing it was already midday.

“Ah, yes! Right,” Lewis said, remembering their initial point.

“Head just past the Cucumber Bed, and when you reach the Big Shed, hang a right and then a quick left, and you’ll be there.”

For once, Lewis had not exaggerated. Not even a little bit. There were giant, green-striped globes positively falling over the walls of the Watermelon Bed. Millions of flowers were abloom, and in the middle of it all, there was Beatrix Butterfly spreading her gorgeous, velvety wings.

ADDIE ANT GOES ON AN ADVENTURE

By Maren Morris & Karina Argow Illustrated by Kelly Anne Dalton

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Maren Morris and former schoolteacher Karina Argow have together written their picture-book debut, Addie Ant Goes on an Adventure. This delightful story of one little ant’s journey for independence while realizing when to ask for help is set against the backdrop of a vast and abundant garden inhabited by some very helpful insect friends.

“Cleo?

I know Cleo Cricket!”

Addie exhaled with relief.

Cleo Cricket came to the Tomato Bed once a week to practice her chirping scales, and Addie always loved Cleo’s unique tone that no one else had in all of the garden.

“Hello, Addie!” Cleo exclaimed. “Did you know that I work part-time as a cricket carriage?” she asked when she saw the little ant’s surprised expression.

“What’s a cricket carriage?” Addie asked.

Addie Ant travels from one garden bed to another on her first solo adventure. As she forges her own path, she gets lost along the way and finds help from her trusted garden pals, Lewis Ladybug, Beatrix Butterfly, and Cleo Cricket, to find her way back home.

MAREN MORRIS is a highly acclaimed singer-songwriter, CEO, and Texan. She is the recipient of many top music awards including five Country Music Association Awards, five Academy of Country Music Awards, and one Grammy Award. Morris is a leading voice in country music for change and equality in the music industry. She and her fellow singer-songwriter husband, Ryan Hurd, and their son, Hayes, reside in Nashville, Tennessee.

KARINA ARGOW is a Nashville-based former high school English teacher, an avid gardener, and a close friend of Maren Morris.

KELLY ANNE DALTON is an artist and storyteller living in the wild mountains of Montana. Her illustrations can be found on children’s books, greeting cards, fabric, home decor collections, and a range of items for the gift market.

PAPERBACK

SHINE ON, LUZ VÉLIZ!

By Rebecca Balcárcel

Now in paperback, this award-winning book celebrates identity, language, heritage, family, and the determination to follow one’s own inner light. Have you ever been the best at something . . . only to lose it all? Luz Véliz is a soccer star—or rather, she was a soccer star. With her serious knee injury, it’s unlikely she’ll be back on the field anytime soon. But without soccer, who is she?

Even her dad treats her differently now—like he doesn’t know her or, worse, like he doesn’t even like her. When Luz discovers she has a knack for coding, it feels like a lifeline to a better self.

If she can just ace the May Showcase, she’ll not only skip a level in her coding courses and impress Ms. Freeman and intriguing, brilliant Trevor—she’ll have her parents cheering her on from the sidelines, just the way she likes it. But something—someone— is about to enter the Vélizes’ lives. And when Solana arrives, nothing will be the same ever again. Unforgettable characters, family drama, and dauntless determination illuminate Luz’s

journey as she summons her inner strength and learns to accept others and embrace the enduring connection of family.

Through it all, Luz’s light is a constant—a guide for others, a path forward through the dark, and an ineffable celebration of her own eternal self.

REBECCA BALCÁRCEL’s debut novel, The Other Half of Happy, is a Pura Belpré Honor book and was named a Booklist Top 10 First Novel for Youth of the Year and an ALSC Notable Children’s Book.

She currently serves the students of Tarrant County College as associate professor of English and lives in Bedford, Texas.

REDWOOD AND PONYTAIL

By K.A. Holt

The award-winning novel is now in paperback! Celebrated author K.A. Holt delivers an emotional wallop in this universal story of finding a way to be comfortable in your own skin. Kate and Tam meet, and both of their worlds tip sideways. At first, Tam figures Kate is your stereotypical cheerleader; Kate sees Tam as another tall jock. But the more they run into each other, the more they learn. Beneath Kate’s sleek ponytail and perfect facade, Tam sees a goofy, sensitive, lonely girl. And Tam’s so much more than a volleyball player. She’s everything Kate wishes she could be. It’s complicated. Except it’s not. When Kate and Tam meet, they fall in like. It’s as simple as that. But not everybody sees it that way. From the author of House Arrest and Knockout, this unforgettable novel in verse will appeal to anyone who’s ever been unsure about the self they’re becoming. Sometimes you know who you’re meant to be with before you know who you’re meant to be.

Run, Run, Run! is a fun, fun, fun board book for on-the-go toddlers! It’s time to run a race like no other! Finish line?

Winning? None of that matters here. Exploring is the goal! In this colorful board book by bestselling author-illustrator Taro Gomi, follow the racer as he runs far past the finish line and through fields, a farm, a forest, and more. Toddlers will delight in turning the pages to find out where he will run, run, run to next!

Ideal for fans of Taro Gomi and his popular children’s books, including the classic Everyone Poops, My Friends, Little Truck, and Little Chicks, this board book combines irresistibly expressive artwork and energetic text to create a read-along story parents and kids will not walk but run to read again and again.

First haircut? No problem! With this playful board book in tow, little ones getting a trim will feel at ease and amused. Contrary to popular belief, a toddler’s first haircut can actually be fun.

(And every hair-washing, too!) This interactive book featuring die-cuts across each illustrated spread for fingers to “wash,” “cut,” and “comb” hair introduces the youngest readers to haircare in a clever and comforting way.

AIM OF GAME Get ready to roll your way to victory in this fun tumbling game! Impress your fellow players with your skills as you roll tortoises across the garden to score.

You can piece together the jigsaw-style garden scene cards in a different way each time you play, so no two games are ever the same.

But be careful not to land on your back—that would be extremely embarrassing! The first player to earn 500 points is the winner and is crowned Top Tortoise Tumbler.

Playing solo? Beat your own score in five turns!
