From bestselling and award-winning author Sara Pennypacker comes
the long-awaited sequel to Pax; gorgeously crafted, utterly
compelling with stunning illustrations by award-winning author and
illustrator Jon Klassen. It's been a year since Peter and his pet
fox, Pax, have seen each other. Once inseparable, they now lead
very different lives. Pax must protect his litter of kits in a
dangerous world. Meanwhile Peter, orphaned after the war, has left
his adopted home and joined the Water Warriors, a group determined
to heal the land from the scars of the war. When one of Pax's kits
falls desperately ill, he turns to the one human he knows he can
trust. And no matter how hard Peter tries to harden his broken
heart, love keeps finding a way in. Now both boy and fox find
themselves on journeys toward home, healing - and each other. A
breathtaking novel about chosen families and the healing power of
love.
Look up! From the Caldecott Medal-winning creator of the Hat
trilogy comes a new deadpan gem. Turtle really likes standing in
his favourite spot. He likes it so much that he asks his friend
Armadillo to come over and stand in it, too. But now that Armadillo
is standing in that spot, he has a bad feeling about it... A
hilarious meditation on the workings of friendship, fate, shared
futuristic visions, and that funny feeling you get that there's
something off somewhere, but you just can't put your finger on it.
Merging broad visual suspense with wry wit and existential
silliness, celebrated picture-book creator Jon Klassen gives us a
wholly original comedy for the ages.

A classic tale about an extraordinary and unlikely animal
friendship. For fans of Paddington Bear and Wallace and Gromit.
From Newbery Honor Author, Amy Timberlake and multi-award winning
illustrator, Jon Klassen comes a beautiful tale of friendship for
readers aged 7+. Meet Skunk and Badger. The first time Badger saw
Skunk, he thought, 'puny' and shut the front door. There was simply
too much slick in this Skunk's stripe. Too much puff in his tail.
Also, there'd been that grin, and the way he'd stuck out his paw as
if he had been looking forward to meeting Badger. Badger knew what
to make of that. He shut the door before the fellow got any ideas .
. . But Skunk is Badger's new roommate, and there is nothing Badger
can do about it. When Skunk bursts into Badger's life, everything
Badger knows is upended. Tails are flipped. The wrong animal is
sprayed. And why-oh-why are there so many chickens? Skunk and
Badger is a beautiful reminder that sometimes opposites are
destined to be the best of friends. A book you'll want to read
again and again, beautifully illustrated throughout by Jon Klassen.
