Stargazers rejoice! Renowned physicist Alan Lightman and
collaborators, with help from the Hubble telescope, light up the
night sky. A dazzling picture book from MIT Kids Press. There is so
much for Ada to do while visiting her grandparents on an island in
Maine, but no amount of beachcombing and kayaking during the day
can take the place of looking at the bright and beautiful stars at
night. She can hardly wait for the sun to set, but will a thick fog
spoil her stargazing plans? Photographs taken from the Hubble
telescope are seamlessly layered with charming illustrations to
beautifully bring to life this enchanting story of a curious child
and her caring grandfather, who share a love for our incredible
night sky and the mysteries it holds.

Publishers Weekly, starred review
The French have long had a love affair with the cat, expressed
through centuries of poetry portraying the animal's wit and wonder.
Norman R. Shapiro lionizes the feline's limitless allure in this
one-of-a-kind collection. Spanning centuries and styles, he draws
on she-cats and toms, and an honor roll of French poets, well known
and lesser known, who have served as their devoted champions. He
reveals the remarkable range of French cat poems, with most works
presented here for the first time in English translation.
Scrupulously devoted to evoking the meaning and music of the
originals, Shapiro also respects the works' formal structures.
Pairing Shapiro's translations with Olga Pastuchiv's elegant
illustrations, Fe-Lines guides the reader through the marvels and
inscrutabilities of the Mystique feline.
