An inquisitive fox sets off on a seafaring voyage with a crew of
deer and pigeons in this enchanting tale of friendship and
adventure. Marco the fox has a lot of questions, like: how deep
does the sun go when it sinks into the sea? And why do birds have
such lizardy feet? But none of the other foxes share his curiosity.
So when a magnificent ship adorned with antlers and with a deer for
a captain arrives at the dock looking for a crew, Marco volunteers,
hoping to find foxes who are as inquisitive as he is that can
answer his questions. The crew finds adventure and intrigue on
their journey. And, at last, Marco finds the answer to his most
important question of all: What's the best way to find a friend you
can talk to?

award-winning picture book, Escargot. Bonjour! Escargot is a
beautiful French snail who wants only two things: 1. To be your
favorite animal. 2. To get to the delicious salad at the end of the
book. But when he gets to the salad, he discovers that there's a
carrot in it. And Escargot hates carrots. But when he finally tries
one--with a little help from you!--he discovers that it's not so
bad after all! A charming and interactive picture book ideal for
picky eaters and animal lovers alike.
Bonjour! Escargot is back, with a magnifique beret and a special
invitation. From New York Times-bestselling author Dashka Slater,
Love, Escargot is the third hilarious book in the award-winning
Escargot picture book series; perfect for--but not limited
to--Valentine's Day! Today is Snailentine's Day, and Escargot is on
his way to a party. Will his Snailentine be there? Maybe he will
find another snail who also likes to read books and eat salad with
a light vinaigrette. But when he arrives at the party, Escargot is
greeted not by a snail, but by a vole. Mon dieu! This is not a
Snailentine's Day party at all. It is at a Volentine's Day party!
At first, Escargot wants to hide in his shell, but in the end, he
finds a surprising new friend.
From the New York Times-bestselling author of The 57 Bus comes
Accountable, a propulsive and thought-provoking new young adult
narrative nonfiction book about the revelation of a racist social
media account that changes everything for a group of high school
students and begs the question: What does it mean to be held
accountable for harm that takes place behind a screen? When a high
school student started a private Instagram account that used racist
and sexist memes to make his friends laugh, he thought of it as
"edgy" humor. Over time, the edge got sharper. Then a few other
kids found out about the account. Pretty soon, everyone knew.
Ultimately no one in the small town of Albany, California, was safe
from the repercussions of the account's discovery. Not the girls
targeted by the posts. Not the boy who created the account. Not the
group of kids who followed it. Not the adults--educators and
parents--whose attempts to fix things too often made them worse. In
the end, no one was laughing. And everyone was left asking: Where
does accountability end for online speech that harms? And what does
accountability even mean? Award-winning and New York
Times-bestselling author Dashka Slater has written a must-read book
for our era that explores the real-world consequences of online
choices.
*An Amazon Best Book of the Year and Indie Bestseller!* In A Book
for Escargot, the standalone sequel to Escargot--written by
award-winning and New York Times-bestselling author Dashka Slater
and illustrated by Sydney Hanson--we follow a funny and charming
French snail through a library to find the book of his dreams.
Bonjour! It is moi, Escargot, your favorite French snail. Today I
am going on a trip to the library, where there are so many stories
to choose from! Stories about dog superheroes... guinea pig
detectives.... and flamingo astronauts. But sadly, none of these
books is about a daring snail hero who saves the day. What is that
you say? Perhaps this is the book about the snail hero? Ooh-la-la!

Bonjour! Escargot is a beautiful French snail who wants only two
things: 1. To be your favourite animal. 2. To get to the delicious
salad at the end of the book. But when he gets to the salad, he
discovers that there's a carrot in it. And Escargot hates carrots.
But when he finally tries one - with a little help from you! - he
discovers that it's not so bad after all.
Two teens growing up in Oakland, in California, in 2013. One, Sasha, was born male but identifies as agender, wears skirts and attends a private school. The other, Richard, is an African American from a poor part of Oakland who attends a rough public school.
These two teens have no reason to meet, except for eight minutes every day they catch the same bus home. And one day, messing about, Richard spies Sasha napping and flicks the flame of his lighter to Sasha's skirt. Sasha wakes up in a ball of flame, and begins to scream.
What happens next, as both the teens and the community struggle to come to terms with their sadness and shock, is a story of recovery, reconciliation, forgiveness and, above all, hope. It's about bravery, the good and bad in all of us, and the power of being true to yourself. And, remarkably, it's all true.
One teenager in a skirt.
One teenager with a lighter.
One moment that changes both of their lives forever.
If it weren’t for the 57 bus, Sasha and Richard never would have met. Both were high school students from Oakland, California, one of the most diverse cities in the country, but they inhabited different worlds. Sasha, a white teen, lived in the middle-class foothills and attended a small private school. Richard, a black teen, lived in the crime-plagued flatlands and attended a large public one. Each day, their paths overlapped for a mere eight minutes. But one afternoon on the bus ride home from school, a single reckless act left Sasha severely burned, and Richard charged with two hate crimes and facing life imprisonment. The case garnered international attention, thrusting both teenagers into the spotlight.
