An award-winning picture book about resilience, self-esteem, and
the power of talking about emotions Lili Macaroni loves drawing
butterflies, counting the stars, and being exactly who she is-Lili
Macaroni. That is, until she starts kindergarten. There her
classmates tell her that her hair is like a pumpkin, her eyes are
squinty blueberries, and her laugh is like a parrot's squawk. She
has never felt such unhappiness before. It makes her want to erase
herself and draw a brand-new Lili. Then she reconsiders. Does she
really want to erase her hair that's just like Mom's? Her eyes just
like Grandma's? Her Grandpa's infectious laugh? With her parents'
help, she creates a polka-dotted butterfly to wear at her collar,
publicly announcing her own resilience and symbolically letting her
sorrows be flown away. And when she explains the butterfly to her
classmates, Lili discovers she has begun a powerful conversation,
and that everyone has some trouble to be carried away on butterfly
wings. In this accessible exploration of emotions and self-esteem,
Nicole Testa and Annie Boulanger create a relatable heroine with
inborn ingenuity and warm family support.
From the bestselling and award-winning author of Felix Ever After
comes a heart-melting and joyful romance. Maybe it's too late to
tell them how I really feel. That I've had these feelings for
months, for years . . . Lark Winters wants to be a writer, and for
now that means posting anything and everything on their social
media accounts - just to build their platform. When former best
friend Kasim accidentally posts a thread on Lark's Twitter
declaring his love for a secret, unrequited crush, Lark's tweets
are suddenly the talk of the school. To protect Kasim, Lark decides
to take the fall, pretending they accidentally posted the thread in
reference to another classmate. It seems like a great idea: Lark
finally gets the courage to ask out their crush, Kasim keeps his
privacy and Lark's social media stats explode. But living a lie
takes a toll - as does the judgement of thousands of Internet
strangers. Lark tries their best to be perfect at all costs, but
nothing seems good enough for the anonymous hordes - or for Kasim,
who is growing closer to Lark, just like it used to be between them
. . . In the end, Lark must embrace their right to their messy
emotions and learn how to be in love. 'A hilarious and bold love
story for the ages.' Mason Deaver, bestselling author of I Wish You
All the Best 'Fresh and necessary.' The Horn Book Magazine
'Callender proffers complex perspectives on activism, bullying,
respectability politics, and polyamory via a queer, socially
conscious cast.' Publishers Weekly
