A beloved teddy bear, stuffed with love, tells a deeply felt and
tenderly observed story of growing up and the new sibling
experience.Teddy and My are made for each other-literally in the
case of Teddy, a bear lovingly stitched and stuffed by Grandma for
her newborn granddaughter. From eating mushy vegetables to playing
with blocks, Teddy is there every step of the way as the baby grows
older. Even as the little girl goes to school and makes new
friends, she can always count on Teddy for playtime, comfort, and
friendship. As she leaves early childhood behind, My comes to rely
on Teddy less and less. But Teddy still has an important role to
play in My's life. In an act of welcome and tremendous love, My
decides to give Teddy to her newborn baby brother, who needs Teddy
just as much now as she once did.
A rebel dreamer of a girl daydreams about her role in making the
world a better place-and since dreams bleed into reality, maybe she
really does. A Kirkus Reviews Best Beginning Reader of 2022!
Shahrzad and the Angry King is a contemporary reimagining of the
Scheherazade tale, starring scooter-riding, story-loving Shahrzad.
Shahrzad loves stories and looks for them everywhere. When she
meets a boy and asks him to tell her his story, he recounts fleeing
a country that was peaceful and happy, until its grieving king grew
angry and cruel. Shahrzad can't forget the boy and his story, and
so, when she sees a toy airplane in a store, she imagines herself
zooming off to the boy's home country, where she confronts the
king, to make him reflect on the kind of leader he really wants to
be. Like Scheherazade, she tells the king story after story, but
this time not to save her own life, but those of the king's people
and his own. Because Shahrzad knows the power of the creative
imagination and that the stories we tell and the words we use shape
our very existence. We live and die by the sword? Not exactly, says
Shahrzad. We live or die by the stories we tell and how we see,
frame, and word the world. Brought to life by Iranian artist Nahid
Kazemi, this bold heroine reminds us of how powerfully intertwined
reality is with the stories we tell.
