Preorder a signed or personalized copy of BYE LAND, BYE SEA (out 4/30)
by local author/illustrator duo René Spencer + Rodolfo Montalvo
and receive a special art pin!
Two children from different backgrounds show that friendship
has no language in this epic bilingual story about being lost
and finding a friend who understands.
I'm lost.
Soy naufrago.
Two children lost at sea run into each other on an island, but they quickly realize a huge barrier between them. They speak two different languages. Hesitant and unsure, these children must figure out how to connect despite their differences if they ever want to find a way off the island.
But will it be enough? What happens when everything goes wrong just as it seems to finally be going right?
Praise for the book:
"A radiant tale of adventure and friendship." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Preorder BOX OF DREAMS by Faith Kazmi, out 5/7,
signed or personalized by the author! Personalized requests due by 5/1.
This debut picture book from Faith Kazmi and illustrated by Christine Almeda celebrates the dreams that are shared with loved ones back home as a young girl and her mother pack up a special balikbayan box for their relatives in the Philippines.
Praise for the book:
"A mother and child connect with loved ones by post and shared memory in Kazmi’s cheerfully told debut. Specific details (e.g., Mama’s including a particular, hard-to-find toothpaste in the box) capture the care that goes into the final product, and Almeda’s inventive digital images, which show Mama placed in moments of reminiscence while packing the box, add imaginative flair to this straightforward telling with a connective heart." -Publishers Weekly
