First snow, surprise snow: Nature's sparkly magic show The
award-winning celebration of preschoolers and snow is now available
as a board book! For small children, snow is a wonder. It sparkles
and glitters. It transforms the outside world. Every kind of snow
brings its own magic. It invites snow angels, skating,
fort-building, and snowballs. Even blizzard days are exciting, when
routines are overturned and everyone bands together to clear the
snow away. For the youngest among us, winter is magical. In Snow
Days, author Deborah Kerbel captures that magic with nimble
couplets that Kirkus Reviews calls "a playful celebration of wintry
weather." Illustrator Miki Sato's fascinating textural collage art,
called "deceptively simple" by Publishers Weekly, looks intimately
touchable. She recreates the coziness and spectacle of the season
in paper, felt, and embroidery silk, creating masterpieces that
invite readers to look again and again. With a diverse cast of
children, a closing spread of five age-appropriate STEM
experiments, and a sturdy Toddler Tough board book format, Snow
Days will invite repeated reads everywhere from lap time to story
time to bedtime.
Josh Sundquist had only ever had one girlfriend. For 23 hours. In
eighth grade. Why was Josh still single? To find out, he tracked
down the girls he had tried to date and asked them straight up:
What went wrong? We Should Hang Out Sometime is the the result of
Josh's semi-scientific, wholly hilarious investigation. From a
disastrous putt-putt date involving a backwards prosthetic foot to
his introduction to CFD (Close Fast Dancing) to a misguided "grand
gesture" at a Miss America pageant, this story is about looking for
love-or at least a girlfriend-in all the wrong places. We Should
Hang Out Sometime is for every person who has ever wondered, "is
there something wrong with me?" (the answer, by the way, is "no").
By revisiting middle school, high school, and college experiences,
inspirational speaker Josh Sundquist shares what it was like to
grow up as "the guy with one leg." Interspersed with the author's
black-and-white line art, this real life story will appeal to fans
of The Fault In Our Stars and Ned Vizzini's Teen Angst.
