//*// Finalist for the 2022 International Book Awards in Children's
Picture Book and Children's Religious categories \\*\\ To: Santa
From: Anna My new dad and stepbrother celebrate Christmas, so
you're coming to my house for the very first time. And I think you
must be REALLY tired of cookies. I'm going to leave you the best
Santa treat ever. Anna is excited that Santa will be visiting her
house for the first time, and she wants to leave Santa a treat that
blends the holidays her new family celebrates: Christmas and
Hanukkah. She expresses this idea to her stepbrother, Michael, who
insists that Santa doesn't need anything but his sugar cookies.
Anna imagines Santa has to be bored with cookies by now and is
determined to find a Jewish recipe that he'll enjoy. The catch? It
has to be something easy for Santa to grab and go. It can't be
matzo ball soup--soup in a sleigh with galloping reindeer will
never do. It can't be noodle kugel--imagine that by the handful.
What a mess! And as certain as Anna is that Santa would devour
tzimmes, she knows he just doesn't have the time to sit and enjoy a
hearty stew on Christmas Eve. Anna retreats to her thinking corner
to figure out the perfect finger food for Santa, not wanting to
disappoint him on his very first visit to her house. In this
humorous and endearing picture book, blending both Christmas and
Hannukah, a little girl and her stepbrother compete to leave Santa
the best treats ever. Latkes for Santa Claus concludes with Anna
and Michael's winning recipes, ready for children to replicate for
Santa in their own kitchens.

construct buildings, fly planes, and make tanks roll. They do all
kinds of things to help create a safer world. These superheroes are
moms. Military moms. Hero moms.
Tornado Slim is just your regular cowboy...until the day he meets
the coyote. The coyote gives Slim his special hat and asks him to
deliver a letter to the sheriff of Fire Gulch City. Slim has never
been to Fire Gulch City, but he figures he can handle it. As Slim
travels from town to town, disaster seems to follow. Pretty soon
Slim learns that his new hat is NOT your average cowboy hat. Will
Slim ever make it to Fire Gulch City? And what did the wily coyote
put down in that letter, anyway? Watercolor illustrations add
lively humor to this original tall tale.

Some superheroes wear rocket-propelled boots, drive super-powered
cars, and have X-ray vision. But other superheroes wear army boots,
drive tanks, and go away for long trips to make the world a safer
place. It's a tough job, but superheroes can do it. With Melinda
Hardin's simple text and with Bryan Langdo's endearing
watercolor-and-pencil illustrations, Hero Dad makes a difficult and
tender subject more accessible to children with parents serving far
from home.
"Matt, Bibi, and their dog Riley crawled through the tiny opening
first. FWUMP! A secret door suddenly closed behind them . . ."
The Zills family is summoned to Egypt to help find the hidden
burial chamber of an ancient pharaoh. But when Matt and Bibi get
trapped in the pharaoh's pyramid, they stumble upon an even bigger
mystery. With only each other, their dog Riley, and the geometric
hieroglyphics on the walls to help them, the twins must use their
math skills to locate the burial chamber--and the way out. Luckily,
Matt and Bibi know their stuff when it comes to geometric solids,
and so will the readers of this adventure in math!
The Gift is, in many ways, the antiAtocha?where Lerner's narrator
fails to achieve a profound experience of art, Browning's has an
intense intellectual and emotional response to music, dance, and
performance. Meaning isn't just accessible to her, it's also
movingly conveyed to the reader. Here, art is one of the love
stories. This is a book about performance art, yes, but it's also
funny and suspenseful. The narrator's friendship with Sami, a
musician in Berlin, takes place virtually, and the negotiation of
their growing intimacy, as well as the question of who Sami really
is, is the tension that propels the book. What's extraordinary
about The Gift is the seriousness with which it takes the idea of
joy, the idea of offering something, unbidden, to a stranger, the
idea of making something purely out of love. It takes some very
heady ideas about performance art, Occupy, and gift economies and
makes them beautiful. Browning's work as an artist offers a range
of opportunities for nontraditional promotion?collaborations with
video artists, events at venues like Judson Church, and creative
use of the ukulele covers that play such a prominent part in the
book, and already live on her soundcloud page.
