Summary

In "Aunt Hannah and Seth," James Otis weaves an evocative tale set in rural New England, capturing the essence of childhood adventures and family bonds through a vivid yet accessible narrative style. The story unfolds around the spirited relationship between young Seth and his wise Aunt Hannah, intertwining themes of innocence, resilience, and the complexities of family dynamics. With its regional flavor and rich descriptions, Otis paints a nostalgic picture that reflects the social and cultural context of early 20th-century America, inviting readers to explore a simpler yet deeply resonant world. James Otis, an influential author of children'Äôs literature, was known for his keen observations of everyday life and the innate curiosity of youth. His own childhood experiences in Massachusetts greatly influenced his storytelling, imbuing his works with authenticity and emotional depth. Otis's literary career was also marked by a commitment to moral instruction, reflecting the values he deemed important in shaping young minds. This background infuses "Aunt Hannah and Seth" with not just a story, but a guiding ethos for its readers. I highly recommend "Aunt Hannah and Seth" to both children and adults alike. It serves as a reminder of the value of family ties and the adventures that life holds, making it a timeless read for all ages. This delightful narrative will not only entertain but also resonate emotionally, making it a valuable addition to any literary collection.

    A Through-the-Alphabet Celebration of Queer History in the US, from the Publisher of the New York Times Bestseller The ABCs of Black History   In this book brimming with P for Pride, writer and poet Seema Yasmin celebrates all the joys and challenges of queer history in the United States through lively, rhyming verse. This is a book of people, of ideas, of accomplishments and events. It’s a book about Allies and Ancestors, about Belonging and Being accepted, about Hope, Knowledge, and Love. About historic moments like Stonewall, and how it changed the world. And all about Trailblazers, like Audre Lorde, James Baldwin, Josephine Baker, Harvey Milk, Barbara Jordan, George Takei, Elliot Page, and Sally Ride. And ultimately, it’s a book to help kids learn a different kind of ABCs—not just words like apple, ball or cat, but rather the essence of what it means to be diverse, to be equitable, to be inclusive. That no one counts unless we all count, and how we must open our eyes and ears, minds and hearts, to hear everyone’s story and understand and celebrate their experience.

    Randolph Caldecott is best known as the namesake of the award that honors picture book illustrations, and in this inventive biography, leading children's literature scholar Leonard Marcus examines the man behind the medal. In an era when the steam engine fueled an industrial revolution and train travel exploded people's experience of space and time, Caldecott was inspired by his surroundings to capture action, movement, and speed in a way that had never before been seen in children's picture books. Thoroughly researched and featuring extensive archival material and a treasure trove of previously unpublished drawings, including some from Caldecott's very last sketchbook, Leonard Marcus's luminous biography shows why Caldecott was indeed the father of the modern picture book and how his influence lives on in the books we love today.

Jack and Conan's friendship is officially dead. Stuck in detention with Yash and Jerry after an all-out brawl in the toilet, it's a terrible start to sixth class. And that's before they witness a monstrous beast step out of a portal outside their school.
