    Then his father brings home the antique cuckoo clock. It’s old. It’s expensive. And Dad won’t let anyone touch it.  
     
    Seems like the perfect opportunity to finally get his little sister in trouble for a change.

A spell that causes Michael to get younger and younger and younger. . . .

    We Are A Circus is the charming, autobiographical tale of a rainbow family, riding around Thessaloniki on a bike. They are poor and living precariously, but they are happy together and have fun in the sun and in the rain (though sometimes they get a bit cold).
    As the book progresses, we follow them through the seasons, playing and cycling and fending off the weather. When their landlord turfs them out of their house, things get more serious as they have to find a new home, fast.
    Nasta has created an exuberant, compassionate story, which is beautifully complemented by Rosie Fencott's energetic artwork.
    **Longlisted for the 2024 Klaus Flugge Illustration Award **
    We are a circus.
    Fortunately not like the ones that train animals.
    (Fortunately means "happiness")
    We are trained by animals! They even make us jump through flaming hoops!
    
    I am kidding. Animals would never do this.

    An overdue retrospective of a pathbreaking feminist Native American poet, with a foreword from activist and educator Lee Francis IV 
      
    I Climb the Mesas: Collected Poems of Paula Gunn Allen span the landscapes of the Southwest, excavate popular misunderstandings of Native women through history, and perhaps most importantly shines a light on a foremother of Native poetry, who was herself an icon to feminist legends like Gloria Steinem. 
      
    Including forewords from her nephew, activist and educator Lee Francis IV, as well as her daughter, this volume of the Laguna Pueblo poet spans her decades-long career, including hard-to-find, limited edition chapbooks.
