Solitude, quiet, and independence are celebrated in this tender picture book about making friends with silence, perfect for SEL conversations about mindfulness, self-regulation, or alone time. When her mother leaves the den, Little Fox expects to spend the next few hours by herself. But then she hears a knock at the door--she has a visitor. At first, Little Fox is scared: Silence is so big and strange. Then they share a snack, and Silence helps her hear her heartbeat, even her own thoughts. Maybe time spent with Silence isn't so bad after all. Maybe Silence can be her friend.This allegorical story from Spanish author Nia Figueras was inspired by the first time she stayed home alone as a child--and by her experiences working at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Young readers will welcome the book as a gentle exploration of solitude and independence.Illustrated by Spanish artist Anna Font, the original edition of The Visit was selected for the White Ravens list and received the Fundaci

The renegade leader of the Red Corsairs must adapt to an Imperium led by Roboute Guilliman, all while struggling to retain power in the face of dissension among his vicious followers. Huron Blackheart is the master of the Red Corsairs, but keeping power is never certain for those renegades who have renounced the Imperium. With the galaxy thrown into turmoil by the return of Roboute Guilliman, and new challenges to his authority emerging within his own ranks, Huron must call on every trick he knows to stay in control... and alive. But even a warrior as ferocious as the Blood Reaver must be wary, for although there are still bargains open to him, not all are ones he should rush into...

An overeager boy and his skittish cat find new ways to connect in this humorous picture book about boundaries and personal space. Arthur adores his cat. He's wild about Zeffo. But Zeffo? Not so much.

Arthur cries, Zeffo runs away, and the days and nights pass. Maybe Arthur needs a new and different way to connect with his cat.With hilariously outlandish--yet deeply relatable--scenes of a boy and his cat, author-illustrator Johan Leynaud shares a warm, lighthearted SEL story of friendship, boundaries, and personal growth. Like Arthur, young readers will discover how love can mean giving freedom instead of taking control. Translated from French by Sarah Ardizzone.
