For fans of Two Bobbies comes a moving, true story about a young man and his dog who escape the violence of the Syrian War. Some bonds are stronger than war . . . Life for musician Bassel and his dog Stella in Damascus, Syria, has changed since the civil war began. Instead of enjoying long walks through their neighborhood, they hear bombs toppling buildings and sharp blasts of gunfire through the night. When it becomes too dangerous for him to stay, Bassel makes the difficult decision to escape, leaving his family, friends--and Stella--behind. After a long, dangerous journey, Bassel finally finds refuge in Belgium, but misses his family, his home, and most of all . . . Stella. With the help of friends in his new home, Bassel hatches a dramatic plan to rescue his beloved dog. This remarkable, true story will inspire readers and remind them that even amid the harshest circumstances of war, acts of kindness and humanity will always endure.

UFOhs! Mysteries in the Sky is the first book to explore the strange, exciting, and unknown world of unidentified aerial phenomena for kids.

Playful, probing, and beautifully illustrated, UFOhs! Mysteries in the Sky prompts kids and their parents to talk about the moon, the stars, the planets, and all the things they see in the sky, and to wonder about those we can't yet explain.

Immerse young readers in the glamorous world of the eccentric and fashionable Diana Vreeland, who once asked: "Why don't you wear violet velvet mittens with everything?" Violet Velvet Mittens with Everything celebrates Empress of Fashion Diana Vreeland, whose legacies at Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, and the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art have had a lasting impact. As a little girl in Paris, Vreeland loved to dance and read, though she loved dressing up most of all. Wearing a rainbow of colors all at once made her feel most like herself, and her dedication to individuality inspired countless others to be just as dazzling and daring. A wonderfully true story of making extraordinary dreams possible, author Deborah Blumenthal echoes the infectiously extravagant tone of Vreeland, with illustrator Rachel Katstaller matching the icon's careful consideration of color.
