"Irrepressible. Joyful. Vibrant and full of oomph!" —Andrea
Beaty, #1 New York Times bestselling author
of Rosie Revere, Engineer Debut author-illustrator Lian Cho
delivers a hilariously cheeky picture book that celebrates the
creativity of a young girl who breaks from the rigid traditions of
her famous artist parents to make a colorful splash in her own
unique style. Presenting Olive Chen! The most magnificent and
brilliant artist in the whole wide world! Her parents are also
artists—serious artists—who paint prim, proper, perfect shapes.
They know Olive has the talent to follow in their footsteps. But
Olive likes to smear, splatter, splash, and even lick. With a brush
in each hand, Olive cascades through town with her friends in tow,
painting what she wants to, what she feels—until she reaches her
parents’ pristine art museum. . .
Every family has its special aunt: the cool aunt, the wacky aunt,
the scary aunt. But this family has ALL THE AUNTS. The escalating
chaos of On Account of the Gum meets the grounded absurdity of
Nothing Rhymes with Orange in Adam Rex's laugh-out-loud take on
family reunions. Shhh, listen. Do you hear that? Oh no. Oh dear. Oh
. . . my . . . godmother. They've traveled on planes, in taxis, and
across state lines. And now they're here at the doorstep, a cheesy
gift in one hand, the other poised for a pinch on the cheek. IT'S
THE AUNTS! THE AUNTS ARE HERE. This hilarious, laugh-out-loud
depiction of one girl's all-too-recognizable experience takes
readers young and old on an emotionally bombastic staycation that
celebrates the universal and endearing strangeness of our families.
Welcome, come in! You are invited to travel to homes around the
world in this beautifully illustrated picture book about
hospitality and acceptance, which features the word "welcome" from
more than fourteen languages. Fans of Here We Are and The Wonderful
Things You Will Be will enjoy this timeless story about family,
friendship, empathy, and welcoming others. Welcome, friend.
Welcome. There are almost as many ways of making someone feel
welcome as there are people on our planet. To welcome another is to
give that person and yourself a chance at a new connection, a new
friendship, and maybe even new eyes through which to view the
world. Journey around the globe as A Hundred Thousand Welcomes
introduces the word for "welcome" in fourteen languages to
illuminate a universal message of hope and acceptance. Mary Lee
Donovan's spare text is brought to life by Lian Cho's boisterous,
richly detailed illustrations. Includes a pronunciation guide, a
note from the artist, a note from the author, and information about
the languages featured in the book.
High on a mountain live 100 mighty dragons all named Broccoli. When
a tremendous wind blows half the dragons away, ten others sail off
to become professional surfers in Hawaii. The oldest and youngest
dragons take a train to New York City to start their own heavy
metal band. And a mysterious wizard turns four more into a unicorn,
a werewolf, a zombie, and a tiny pink poodle. Now how many dragons
are left? Young readers will delight in following each and every
dragon as they leave their home for marvelous adventures, until
there is but one dragon remaining. That's when this final dragon
named Broccoli retreats to a cave for the winter and reappears in
the spring with a surprise that will thrill and delight. Prepare to
read again!
