Two-time Caldecott Medal winner Chris Raschka captures the sound,
passion, innovation, and love of the arts that the renowned jazz
pianist Mary Lou Williams shared with the world. Mary’s Idea is a
stunning and transporting picture book about music and the creative
process, for readers of Trombone Shorty and Chris Raschka’s
acclaimed books about musicians, including Charlie Parker Played Be
Bop and Mysterious Thelonious. At the age of three, Mary Lou
Williams taught herself how to play the piano. At the age of
fifteen, she was considered a professional. An American jazz
pianist and composer, Mary Lou Williams wrote hundreds of
compositions, recorded hundreds of songs, and wrote arrangements
for musicians, including Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman. Mary’s
Idea is an exquisite picture book about Mary Lou Williams, an
artist often overlooked in the canon of American music because of
her gender and skin color. With a text full of rhythm and movement
and illustrations that sing off the page, Chris Raschka’s picture
book is equal parts biography and celebration of the imagination,
ideas, and creative process. Mary’s Idea will find readers in
fans of Traci N. Todd’s and Christian Robinson’s Nina, and
Brian Selznick’s and Pam Muñoz Ryan’s When Marian Sang.
Includes backmatter.

This Caldecott Honor classic is a simple yet important story about
friendship. Two kids meet on a street. "Yo!" says one. "Yes?" says

friends. With vibrant illustrations, Chris Raschka's rhythmic
read-aloud is a celebration of differences -- and how it just takes
a few words to overcome them. More relevant than ever in our
divided world, this 1993 Caldecott Award-winning classic is
presented for the first time in a board book format.

Raschka's Caldecott Honor Book which captures the street poetry
between two boys is now available for the first time in a
Scholastic Bookshelf paperback version. Full color.
"Finally, here's a picture book that helps young children move
beyond rote recitation of the Pledge to find meaning in its
language. This is the book parents and teachers have been waiting
for." -- BOOKLIST (starred review)
"I led a pigeon to the flag" . . . "and to the wee puppet" . . .
"one
nation, and a vegetable" . . . What was that again? Children in the
United States have been reciting the Pledge of Allegiance since
1892 -- and for about that long, they've found its big words
confusing. Now, beloved children's book author Bill Martin Jr
(BROWN BEAR, BROWN BEAR, WHAT DO YOU SEE?), fellow literacy expert
Michael Sampson, and Caldecott Honor--winning artist Chris Raschka
give America's children a hand, and explain this patriotic poem
once and for all. A new paperback edition offers notes and
suggested activities to help parents and teachers make this book
even more interesting to and fun for children.
A charming introduction to Saint Paul and his epistles Caldecott
Medal-winner Chris Raschka breathes new life into the letters of
Paul the Apostle with this inviting book. Each sumptuous page
distills the main themes of Paul's epistles into approachable,
appealing language. Chris Raschka expertly depicts Paul's sincerity
and compassion, sadness and pain, giving readers a true sense of
who Paul really was. Paul Writes (a Letter) celebrates how one of
the most beloved biblical figures changed the world through the
written word.
A heartfelt and playful ode to the father-child relationship, by
two-time Caldecott-medal-winning author Chris Raschka King and
Jester, Boat and Captain, Mountain and Climber... fathers and
children are all of these things and more in Chris Raschka's
tribute to this familial pair. Each stanza presents three scenarios
in which the father and child's roles are subtly balanced. The
pairs vary between stanzas, coming together in a visit to an
ice-cream truck. With minimal text and maximum emotion, the book
encapsulates Raschka's own passion and nostalgia for being a father
to his [now-grown] son. Ages 3-5
"In a daring attempt to capture the raw energy of Parker's music .
. . Raschka (pens) a text that's as lean as a poem and as mean as a
blues refrain" ("Publishers Weekly", starred review). Full-color
illustrations.

A surprising, universal, and gorgeously illustrated story about
self-acceptance, love, friendship, and the joy of embracing
different perspectives, this beautiful picture book by acclaimed
author Richard Jackson and two-time Caldecott Medalist Chris
Raschka presents a puddle with a distinct point of view. Puddle
sits despondently in the playground, observing the world around her
as she is dimpled by rain, splashed by shoes, piddled on by a
poodle, bounced by a basketball, and stirred up by an inquisitive
seagull. But when the sun makes a sudden appearance, Puddle meets
an admiring new friend who lifts her spirits and makes her feel
loved. Richard Jackson's playful text shines with rhythm,
repetition, and surprising turns of phrase, and Caldecott Medalist
Chris Raschka's luminous paintings achieve the impossible-oh, sweet
Puddle! A memorable story of friendship, love, and changing your
point of view.
"These aren't poems to read aloud, but to look at and laugh at
together, with young children and especially older readers, who
will enjoy the surprise of what words look like and what can be
done with them." --BOOKLIST (starred review)
Concrete poems startle and delight the eye and mind. The size and
arrangement of words and letters can add or alter meaning --
forming a poem that takes the shape of crows that fly off the page
or becoming a balloon filled with rhyme, drifting away from
outstretched hands. Here, in a single extraordinary volume, are
thirty poems from some of the world's finest visual poets,
including John Hollander, Emmett Williams, Maureen W. Armour, and
Douglas Florian. New to the paperback edition, tucked inside the
front cover, are tips, guidelines, and inspiration for writing your
own concrete poems.

Lester hasn't really belonged to anyone or anyplace for a long
time. So when Daddy Albert and Daddy Rich adopt him, he is excited
about his new life. There are a lot of things to like about his new
house and his family: He has a brand-new room. And a brand-new bed.
And a new bike. And new toys. And hot cocoa. And new cousins, too.
And then there is Wincka, his new daddies' big, furry dog. She's
the best. But even with all these good things, Lester gets lonely
and scared in the middle of the night. What will it take to make
Lester feel home at last?
From celebrated picture book creators Chris Raschka and Vladimir Radunsky comes one possible answer to the age-old question: Who was Mother Goose?
We all love to hear Mother Goose rhymes and riddles. But did you know that there was a real Mother Goose who lived in Boston three hundred years ago? In 1692, Elizabeth Foster married a widower with ten children. His name was Isaac Goose, and after they married, Elizabeth became Mother Goose. She and Isaac had six more children together, and to help her care for such a big and boisterous family, Mother Goose sang songs and lullabies and made up rhymes and poems. Her nursery rhymes and stories were published at a print shop on Pudding Lane in Boston, though no copies of her book exist today. In a book featuring some of Mother Goose’s best-loved works, Vladimir Radunsky’s bright and humorous illustrations and Chris Raschka’s rhyming poems tell the little-known story of the Goose children, Isaac and Elizabeth herself – the Mother Goose of Pudding Lane.
