Once there was a girl with a big laugh and a big heart and very big dreams.
She grew and grew and grew. And it was good... until it wasn't.
When the girl grows big, the world begins to make her feel small. She feels out of place and invisible, and soon she isn't herself at all. But with the girl's size comes huge inner strength - and this helps her look past the hurtful words to see how perfect she really is.
With beautiful illustrations and a gatefold flap, this quietly reassuring story explores the experience of being big in a world that celebrates small, promoting body positivity and self-acceptance in young readers.
Big is the first picture book to be written and illustrated by Vashti Harrison, award-winning creator of the bestselling Little Leaders series.

From a critically acclaimed creator comes this summery picture book featuring an overheated--and overwhelmed--pup who finds his calm with some sea, sand, and fresh air.

It's summer in the city, and this hot dog has had enough! Enough of sizzling sidewalks, enough of wailing sirens, enough of people's feet right in his face. When he plops down in the middle of a crosswalk, his owner endeavors to get him the breath of fresh air he needs. She hails a taxi, hops a train, and ferries out to the beach.

Here, a pup can run!

With fluid art and lyrical text that have the soothing effect of waves on sand, Doug Salati shows us how to find calm and carry it back with us so we can appreciate the small joys in a day.

Caldecott Medalist Michaela Goade's first self-authored picture book is a gorgeous celebration of the land she knows well and the powerful wisdom of elders.

On an island at the edge of a wide, wild sea, a girl and her grandmother gather gifts from the earth. Salmon from the stream, herring eggs from the ocean, and in the forest, a world of berries.

Salmonberry, Cloudberry, Blueberry, Nagoonberry.

Huckleberry, Snowberry, Strawberry, Crowberry.

Through the seasons, they sing to the land as the land sings to them. Brimming with joy and gratitude, in every step of their journey, they forge a deeper kinship with both the earth and the generations that came before, joining in the song that connects us all. Michaela Goade's luminous rendering of water and forest, berries and jams glows with her love of the land and offers an invitation to readers to deepen their own relationship with the earth.

As a young boy, Bao Phi awoke early, hours before his father's long workday began, to fish on the shores of a small pond in Minneapolis. Unlike many other anglers, Bao and his father fished for food, not recreation. A successful catch meant a fed family. Between hope-filled casts, Bao's father told him about a different pond in their homeland of Vietnam.

The barbershop is where the magic happens. Boys go in as lumps of clay and, with princely robes draped around their shoulders, a dab of cool shaving cream on their foreheads, and a slow, steady cut, they become royalty. That crisp yet subtle line makes boys sharper, more visible, more aware of every great thing that could happen to them when they look good: lesser grades turn into As; girls take notice; even a mother's hug gets a little tighter. Everyone notices.

A fresh cut makes boys fly.

This rhythmic, read-aloud title is a celebration of the way boys feel when they leave the barber's chair.

Jean-Michel Basquiat and his unique, collage-style paintings rocketed to fame in the 1980s as a cultural phenomenon unlike anything the art world had ever seen. But before that, he was a little boy who saw art everywhere: in poetry books and museums, in games and in the words that we speak, and in the pulsing energy of New York City. Now, award-winning illustrator Javaka Steptoe's vivid text and bold artwork echoing Basquiat's own introduce young readers to the powerful message that art doesn't always have to be neat or clean--and definitely not inside the lines--to be beautiful.

Chosen as a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of 2016, this poetic, nonfiction story about a little-known piece of African American history captures a human’s capacity to find hope and joy in difficult circumstances and demonstrates how New Orleans' Congo Square was truly freedom’s heart.

Mondays, there were hogs to slop,

mules to train, and logs to chop.

Slavery was no ways fair.

Six more days to Congo Square.

As slaves relentlessly toiled in an unjust system in 19th century Louisiana, they all counted down the days until Sunday, when at least for half a day they were briefly able to congregate in Congo Square in New Orleans. Here they were free to set up an open market, sing, dance, and play music. They were free to forget their cares, their struggles, and their oppression. This story chronicles slaves' duties each day, from chopping logs on Mondays to baking bread on Wednesdays to plucking hens on Saturday, and builds to the freedom of Sundays and the special experience of an afternoon spent in Congo Square. This book will have a forward from Freddi Williams Evans (freddievans.com), a historian and Congo Square expert, as well as a glossary of terms with pronunciations and definitions.

Роуз и Уинди — настоящие летние друзья. Они знают друг друга с незапамятных времен, хотя и видятся, только когда их семьи приезжают на отдых в маленький прибрежный городок Аваго в Канаде. Казалось, лето пройдёт как обычно -— в бесконечных разговорах, играх и походах на пляж. Вот только все стали на год старше — а Роуз и Уинди в том возрасте, когда за этот срок всё может измениться. И это лето станет настоящим испытанием в жизни девочек, в их дружбе и начинающейся взрослой жизни.

Джиллиан и Марико Тамаки удалась невероятно сложная задача — не просто написать роман взросления, а деликатно запечатлеть момент, когда беззаботность детства начинает потихоньку рассеиваться. У тебя меняются интересы и не всегда находится общий язык со старыми друзьями, родители вдруг начинают делиться с тобой взрослыми проблемами, а любовь из чего-то нелепого вдруг становится реальностью, хотя на самом деле ты не очень осознаёшь, что с тобой происходит. Всё не меняется в один момент, старые радости никуда не деваются, но мир постепенно становится сложнее. И «То самое лето» — как раз комикс о людях на пороге взросления и столкновении детства с большой жизнью.

«То самое лето» — главная работа двоюродных сестер Джиллиан и Марико Тамаки, принесшая им в 2015 году премию Айснера за лучший графический роман, а также целую охапку других наград, не в последнюю очередь за невероятный рисунок Джиллиан, весь выполненный в оттенках синего цвета. Впрочем, не обошлось и без проблем: в 2016 году в США комикс оказался на первой строчке топ книг, которые чаще всего отзывали из библиотек или пытались запретить к прочтению детям. Хотя здесь нет ничего страшного или скандального — наоборот, Марико Тамаки просто честно пишет о сложных вещах, которые некоторым кажутся «неподходящими». Это нежная и трогательная книга, в которой многие узнают себя.
