  Celebrate the defining moments of a great American painter’s journey to creating his own voice in this stunning portrait of Andrew Wyeth. Andrew Wyeth is one of the greatest American painters of the twentieth century. Before he found his creative voice, he was a boy growing up in an artistic family, spending his time in rural Pennsylvania and Maine. Andy, as he was called by his family, was trained by his father, renowned artist N.C. Wyeth, but they didn’t always see eye to eye. Pa wanted his son to work in bold, bright colors, and to fill his compositions with exciting characters and places. But to Andy, the most exciting stories to paint were the ones he lived every day, that featured the familiar people and places he loved most. Here's a portrait of a masterful American painter whose childhood shaped the painter he would become. It showcases Andrew Wyeth’s unique world. The back matter includes six reproductions of celebrated Wyeth paintings.“A truly fantastic book for those who are young and young at heart. Gene Barretta does an incredible job of tracing my grandfather’s evolution as an artist from a little boy to a ninety-one-year old man.  This thoughtful book takes readers inside Andy’s head and allows us to look at the world through his eyes.” – Victoria Browning Wyeth

  Beneath the sunken archipelago of Verdemer, where merfolk heirs rise in pearl armors against coral tyrants and tide sovereigns command waves from isle ruins, heir Marina rises with a tide of rebel currents, their sovereignty threatened by tyrants who choke the seas with coral chains. The isles, risen in armor vows and command-kissed surges, rebuild the depths—or submerge in tyrannical floods. As they surge through isle-laced reefs and sovereign-bound trenches, risen by tyrant sentinels and wave rivals, Marina's heir grace fuses with rebels' tide fury, unveiling a verdemer legend of emerald ascension. When a chained pearl summons flood krakens, they must rise the sovereign to break the coral. In the emeralds of tide isles, where every wave crashes the chain and every command stirs the deep, their epic rise becomes the archipelago that surfaces the oppressed seas.

  Beloved and trailblazing author Judy Blume comes to life in this poetic picture book about her childhood. Judy Blume is known for fearlessly discussing topics that were once considered taboo. As a young girl, Judy was not encouraged to share her feelings, so instead she invented stories as a way to understand the world around her. Growing up Jewish, during and in the aftermath of WWII, dramatically shaped Judy’s childhood. Her younger years were full of fear. Judy processed her conflicted emotions by making up stories where she could control the conflict as she worked through challenging life scenarios. These stories became the subjects of the books she later published for children, tweens, teens, and adults including Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret, Freckle Juice, and the Fudge series. This inspiring collection of poems celebrates the childhood years of Judy Blume, one of the most beloved American writers of all time.
