A worm and a dinosaur grapple with the circle of life in this hilariously macabre longform picture book, perfect for fans of The Skull.Every life has a beginning and an end, and if we're lucky, we make a few true friends along the way. And hopefully those friends won’t eat us. But you never know. When a dinosaur’s misplaced step flattens Frank the worm’s friend, Frank takes the loss in stride. He and his buddies will eat the poor guy— that’s what worms do. They eat dead things and return them to the soil. Someday, Frank’s descendants will even eat the dinosaur. But before it comes to that, there’s plenty of time to get to know each other. Even if neither can ultimately protect the other from the world’s slings and arrows, the unlikely friendship makes life worthwhile. A masterclass in dark humor, I Will Eat You in the End closes in a life-affirming catharsis it very much earns. Readers of all ages will return often to laugh, cry, and relish every page. Mortality has never been so fun.

Two Caldecott honorees--and real-life best friends-- team up to illustrate a story of friendship from bestselling author Julie Fogliano. Like the two stars of this story, illustrators Molly Idle and Juana Martinez-Neal know that differences only make a good friendship stronger. In this bouncy, rhyming story, two best friends think about all the little things that don't matter- and the big things that really, really do. With each artist designing and drawing one character, and collaborating on the scenery and details, Molly Idle and Juana Martinez-Neal transformed this sweet story into a celebration of friendship- including their own- and a unique artistic vision. Working remotely, they swapped drawings across the country, using a limited palette of teal and yellow over graphite. As artwork passed back and forth between their mailboxes, childhood versions of each artist came to life and came together on the page into one unified creation. Award-winning author Julie Fogliano's rhythmic r

面對陌生的臺灣，小女孩的心情既期待又不安。語言不同、環境新奇，連飛行都顯得遙遠。「本書」讓 Nainai 成為最佳嚮導，帶著孫女一步步走進山林與回憶。她們邊爬山邊聽故事，從老電影與鳳梨冰，到童年遊戲與街坊人情，臺灣在敘述中逐漸有了溫度。當山頂的人們熱情認出 Nainai，也認出她是「孫女」時，小女孩心中升起踏實的歸屬感。作者 Livia Blackburne 與插畫家 Joey Chou 皆生於臺灣，將真實經驗融入畫面與文字。這是一封寫給故鄉與家人的邀請函，也是一場理解自我的開始。A Taiwanese-American girl is nervous about visiting Taiwan-- until her paternal grandmother, her Nainai, takes her on a mountain-climbing adventure and shows her its wonders. Traveling from California to Taiwan for the first time, even with her parents and her Nainai around her, is a lot for a little girl to take in. The plane ride lasts forever, she can't read any of the signs, and she's worried there will be unfamiliar bugs. But then Nainai becomes her tour guide, and Taiwan transforms. As they huff and puff up Nainai's favorite mountain, stomachs full of bao and juicy sausage, Nainai spins yarns about riding to the movies in pedicabs, eating frozen pineapple, and playing pinball to win snacks. Even the bugs turn out to be more cool than scary.

She Persisted meets Be Kind in this reinterpretation of a classic fable, whose timeless message of perseverance and hope will encourage readers to stand up for themselves. Who will win the war of trust-- the forceful, spiteful, cruel North Windor the gentle, patient, determined Sun? This thought-provoking, gorgeous story portrays the many different definitions of strength, as told through the powerful bond of three sisters. Together they face The North Wind, a mighty wintry gale bent on destroying the sisters' old patchwork coats with his harsh words and powerful blustering. But these gray-haired sisters stand firm, bracing against the hateful Wind and his taunts, facing his negativity with practicality, resilience, grit, and gut. Their coats will not be blown off by force. It isn't until the Sun tries her own methods--generosity, warmth, and waiting--that the sisters make their own decision: it is time to remove their coats. It's the downfall of a bully, the downfall of aggression, th

In this moving account of loss, a boy takes a walk in the woods and makes a discovery that changes his understanding of his father. A week after the funeralI stare in the morning mirrorAngry that my father's eyes Stare back at me. Confused and distraught after the death of his father, a boy opens an envelope he left behind and is surprised to find a map of the woods beyond their house, with one spot marked in bright red. But why? The woods had been something they shared together, why would his father want him to go alone? Slowly, his mind settles as he sets off through the spaces he once explored with his dad, passing familiar beech and black oak trees, flitting Carolina wrens, and a garter snake they named Sal. When he reaches the spot marked on the map, he finds pages upon pages of drawings of woodland creatures, made by his father when he was his age. What he sees shows him a side of his dad he never knew, and something even deeper for them share together. His dad knew what he reall

The cyclical nature of day and night frames a heartfelt exploration of the shared experiences that bring us all together. At the start of a day brimming with possibilities, a gentle narrator whimsically explores everything the day might bring, from work to play, and all the sweet moments in between, like watching clouds and seeing something grow. In the moment when day inevitably turns to night, we are reminded that "we are all just hearts beating in the darkness." This quiet space serves as a reminder of our shared existence, the very core of what brings us together. As a new dawn continues the cycle, that truth is a strong and steady pulse beneath the rhythm of another busy morning. In a story that is at once playful and poignant, and Julie Fogliano masterfully combines simple, lyrical text and nuanced themes to create an inspirational exploration of perseverance, solidarity, kindness, and strength. Luscious illustrations by C嫢ia Chien accompany the soulful text. Cleverly emulating t

Louis and his eccentric Grandma set out to count every dog in the neighborhood when they find out about city hall's woefully inadequate record keeping. Louis wants a dog, but his Grandma insists, "There are enough dogs in the neighborhood already." But how many dogs are in the neighborhood? Surely a sternly worded letter to City Hall will clear this up. When it turns out that City Hall doesn't keep an official count of this essential demographic, Louis and his Grandma do their civic duty and take matters into their own hands. Together they meet all sorts of dogs with hilarious names and personalities. When they're done, Louis's grandmother is sure he's missed one particularly lovable dog, a mutt named Baklava in need of a new home. Philip Stead and Caldecott Medalist Matthew Cordell have once again shown their knack for making quirky and endearing stories about grandparent and grandchild duos in the tradition of Follow That Frog and Special Delivery.

See the transformative life cycle of a sunflower play out from page to page in this bold read-aloud by Sibert honoree Antoinette Portis. "A seed falls, And settles into the ground, And the Sun shines, And the rain comes down, And the seed grows..."To understand how a seed becomes a sunflower, you have to peek beneath the soil and wait patiently as winding roots grow, a stalk inches out of the earth, and new seeds emerge among blooming petals. With evocative and lively illustrations, A Seed Grows offers a close-up view of each step of this process and the ways in which flowers and seeds depend on other creatures, with a striking fold-out spread of a full-grown sunflower and additional material at the back of the book explaining the science of plant life cycles. Antoinette Portis is the author of A New Green Day, a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year and NCTE Notable Book in Poetry, as well as the Sibert Honor winning Hey, Water!
