When is an old truck something more? On a small, bustling farm, a
resilient and steadfast pickup works tirelessly alongside the
family that lives there, and becomes a part of the dreams and
ambitions of the family’s young daughter. After long days and
years of hard work leave the old truck rusting in the weeds, it’s
time for the girl to roll up her sleeves. Soon she is running her
own busy farm, and in the midst of all the repairing and restoring,
it may be time to bring her faithful childhood companion back to
life. With an eye-catching retro design and cleverly nuanced
illustrations, The Old Truck celebrates the rewards of
determination and the value of imagination.

New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Jason Reynolds’s debut picture book is a snappy, joyous ode to Word King, literary genius, and glass-ceiling smasher Langston Hughes and the luminaries he inspired.
Back in the day, there was a heckuva party, a jam, for a word-making man. The King of Letters. Langston Hughes. His ABCs became drums, bumping jumping thumping like a heart the size of the whole country. They sent some people yelling and others, his word-children, to write their own glory.
Maya Angelou, Amiri Baraka, and more came be-bopping to recite poems at their hero’s feet at that heckuva party at the Schomberg Library, dancing boom da boom, stepping and stomping, all in praise and love for Langston, world-mending word man. Oh, yeah, there was hoopla in Harlem, for its Renaissance man. A party for Langston.
When four swamp creatures looking to cross a river come upon a log
that would allow for precisely that, they can't believe their luck.
But a questionable tail adjacent to that log gives them second
thoughts. Opossum believes it's a sneaky tail and that they must
pass it quietly. Squirrel thinks it's a scary tail that can be
cowed by intimidation. Rabbit decides it's a mean tail that
deserves a taste of its own medicine. As the critters exhaust
approaches one by one, Mouse, the smallest of the lot, observes
their folly and adjusts accordingly. But is it the mouse or the
tail that will defy expectations? Pairing their iconic illustration
style with a wry irreverence, the Pumphrey brothers have crafted a
delightful tale that reminds us to think before we act.
Lincoln and Hudson Dupré are brothers with what grown-ups call
“active imaginations”. Link and Hud hunt for yetis in the
Himalayas and battle orcs on epic quests. Unfortunately, their
imaginary adventures wreak havoc in their real world. Dr and Mrs
Dupré have tried every babysitter in the neighbourhood and are at
their wits’ end. Enter Ms Joyce. Strict and old-fashioned, she
proves to be a formidable adversary. The boys don’t like her or
her rules and decide she’s got to go. Through a series of
escalating events—told as high-action comic panel sequences—the
brothers conspire to undermine Ms Joyce and get her fired. When
they go so big that even Ms Joyce can’t fix it, suddenly she’s
out. Finally, success! Or is it? With warm and authentic humour,
Jarrett and Jerome Pumphrey have blended prose and graphic
novel-style illustrations to craft a unique and subversive new
series full of brotherly mischief and mayhem.
