From the New York Times–bestselling and award-winning author and illustrator of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend comes the inspiring epilogue to the beloved classic nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty.
Everyone knows that when Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. But what happened after?
Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat's poignant tale follows Humpty Dumpty, an avid bird watcher whose favorite place to be is high up on the city wall―that is, until after his famous fall. Now terrified of heights, Humpty can longer do many of the things he loves most.
Will he summon the courage to face his fear?
After the Fall (How Humpty Dumpty Got Back Up Again) is a masterful picture book that will remind readers of all ages that Life begins when you get back up.
For fans of P is for Pterodactyl comes this groundbreaking spin on
the ABCs that invites readers to look at the alphabet in a whole
new way. An A is an H that just won't stand up right... A B is a D
with its belt on too tight... And a Z is an L in a tug-of-war
fight! Twenty-six letters, unique from each other--and yet, every
letter looks just like one another! Kind of like...one big family.
From two bestselling masters of wordplay and visual high jinks
comes a mind-bending riddle of delightful dopplegängers and
surprising disguises that reveal we're more alike than we may
think.
A middle grade graphic memoir based on bestselling author and
Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat's awkward middle school years and the
trip to Europe that changed his life. Dan's always been a good kid.
The kind of kid who listens to his teachers, helps his mom with
grocery shopping, and stays out of trouble. But being a good kid
doesn't stop him from being bullied and feeling like he's
invisible, which is why Dan has low expectations when his parents
send him on a class trip to Europe. At first, he's right. He's
stuck with the same girls from his middle school who love to make
fun of him, and he doesn't know why his teacher insisted he come on
this trip. But as he travels through France, Germany, Switzerland,
and England, a series of first experiences begin to change
him--first Fanta, first fondue, first time stealing a bike from
German punk rockers... and first love. Funny, heartwarming, and
poignant, A First Time for Everything is a feel-good coming-of-age
memoir based on New York Times bestselling author and Caldecott
Medal winner Dan Santat's awkward middle school years. It
celebrates a time that is universally challenging for many of us,
but also life-changing as well. Praise for After the Fall "The
author gives wings to both his protagonist and his message about
the importance of getting back up after a fall and the realization
that recovering from a trauma takes time." --Booklist, starred
review "Santat's precise illustrations and sensitive text combine
for more emotional depth than the typical nursery rhyme remix. A
terrific redemptive read-aloud for storytime and classroom
sharing." --School Library Journal, starred review
After the fall, Humpty Dumpty is a broken egg. Life is tough: he's so afraid of heights, he can't even bear to climb onto his bed, or reach his favourite cereal on the top shelf at the supermarket. But one day, fuelled by his passion for bird-watching, he decides to conquer his fears and something amazing happens...
On one very special day an imaginary friend is born on an island
far away. Here, he and his other imaginary friends play all day and
each night they sit beneath the stars, hoping and waiting for their
turn to be picked, to be imagined, by a real child. But this
particular imaginary friend waits and waits, and still no child
imagines him. So he does the unimaginable - he sets off into the
real world. Once there, he searches so long that he is just about
to give up, when a shy, bookish girl named Alice meets him.
Gradually they discover they are perfect for each other... and
Alice has the perfect name for her imaginary friend: Beekle.
It's the last day of school before Christmas vacation and Alex,
Chase, and the rest of Mrs. Walter's fifth-grade class couldn't
wish more for the final bell to ring. But the day takes a crazy
turn when a mysterious meteorite crashes through the classroom
window--and a genie pops out! Bob, as he's called, is willing to
grant only one wish for the class to share, and if they can't agree
on something before the bell rings in an hour, they'll get nothing
at all. What follows is a debate that is at turns thought-provoking
and hilarious--and at all times irresistible.
When a notorious thief is out for priceless treasure (gems! cats!
general decorum!)—who're you gonna call? An elite team of
crime-fighting underdogs, that's who! The Misfits are on the case
in this hilarious illustrated series from Newbery Honoree Lisa Yee
and Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat! “For any kid who’s
felt like a misfit, this crackling adventure packs a wallop!â€
—Lincoln Peirce, creator of Big Nate and Max & the Midknights
Olive Cobin Zang has . . . issues. And they mostly aren’t her
fault. (No, really!) Though she often slips under the radar,
problems have a knack for finding her. So, imagine her doubts when
she’s suddenly dropped off at the strangest boarding school ever:
a former castle turned prison that's now a “reforming arts
schoolâ€! But nothing could’ve prepared Olive for RASCH (not
“rashâ€). There, she’s lumped with a team of other kids who
never quite fit in, and discovers that the academy isn’t what it
seems—and neither is she. In fact, RASCH is a cover for an elite
group of misfits who fight crime . . . and Olive has arrived just
in time. Turns out that RASCH is in danger of closing, unless
Olive’s class can stop the heist of the century. And as Olive
falls in love with this wacky school, she realizes it’s up to her
new team to save the only home that’s ever welcomed them.
This magical story begins on an island far away where an imaginary
friend is born. He patiently waits his turn to be chosen by a real
child, but when he is overlooked time and again, he sets off on an
incredible journey to the bustling city, where he finally meets his
perfect match and-at long last-is given his special name: Beekle.
