A hilarious and heart-warming new adventure from Sara Pennypacker,
the best-selling author of Pax, with illustrations by Caldecott
Medal-winner Matthew Cordell Leeva Thornblossom loves to learn: her
local newspaper teaches her a new word every day, and soap operas
show her the many shades of human expression. And when she comes
across the announcement that all children are required to go to
school, Leeva sees an opportunity to do something that newspapers
and television alone can't provide: the chance to meet people. But
Leeva's parents, the insufferable mayor and selfish tax collector
of their small town, don't want to send her to school, and they
certainly don't want her to meet other people. And so, with the
help of the town's librarian and her son, Leeva sets out to finds
answers: what have her parents been hiding from her? With hilarious
writing and an unforgettable hero, Leeva at Last is perfect for
fans of Matilda, Flora and Ulysses, and A Series of Unfortunate
Events.

Winner of the 2018 Caldecott Medal
A girl is lost in a snowstorm. A wolf cub is lost, too. How will they find their way home?
Pictures rich with feeling tell this satisfying story of friendship and trust. Here is a book set on a wintry night that will spark imaginations and warm hearts, from award-winning author and illustrator Matthew Cordell.
"Beautifully paced....ultimately reassuring." Wall Street Journal
"Caught in a blizzard on her way home from school, a girl in a red parka discovers a wolf pup left behind by its pack. Cordell's story is wordless, but there's a soundtrack: the cub whines, and distant howls reveal the pack's presence over the next hill. The girl's story is a hero's journey, and Cordell tells it with skill and heart." Publishers Weekly, starred review
In Rachel Vail's "Justin Case: Shells, Smells and the Horrible
Flip-Flops of Doom," Justin is going to start fourth grade--but
first, he has to survive the summer. He "gets" to go to camp every
day on a bus. He "gets" to experience all sorts of new things:
Bugs. Mess hall food. Flip-flops (they hurt the space between his
toes "and "they're hard to walk in). And (gulp ) swimming.
Justin's little sister, Elizabeth, seems to deal with camp just
fine. So do his friends. Justin is trying very hard not to be a
worried kid anymore, especially when it comes to making friends at
camp, including a new kid who is kind of . . . rough. After all,
Justin is going to be in fourth grade. It's time to be brave.

From Caldecott Medalist Matthew Cordell, Explorers is a new picture
book about an extraordinary trip to a museum.
When a family goes to a local museum, a boy notices a homeless man
sitting outside, making brightly colored origami birds. He convinces
his dad to buy a bird the man makes just for him.
Once inside the museum, his little sister takes the bird and launches
it into the air. Is it lost? Soon another boy helps him look, and the
paper bird brings two families--and two new friends--together.
With the style he used in Wolf in the Snow, Matthew Cordell shows how
an ordinary family outing can be both extraordinary and magical.
