The vivid illustrations and unique artistry present the messages of self-awareness and self-acceptance to the hearts and minds of readers. Hip Hop is diverse and so are the HIP HOP HAIR styles we all know and love!

Written by JFAM Johnson™ (a collective of 8 siblings), HIP HOP HAIR highlights the rhyme, rhythm, and respect of the history and culture of Hip Hop. This literary delight includes original illustrations and designs by Abigail C. Johnson (age 12) and Jael K. Johnson (age 10). Each illustration is a vibrant display of Black and Brown American boys and girls in uplifting and true-to-life settings.

With imaginative end rhymes and repetitive melodies, you'll be chanting, "I'm HIP, I'm HOP," before you've made it half-way through the book. HIP HOP HAIR is an interactive immersion boasting fun facts, resources, and a bonus website so you can have a truly hip-hop experience!

Flora and the Penguin

Molly Idle

From a Caldecott Honor winner—Learn about teamwork and friendship when Flora laces up her skates and hits the ice with her new penguin pal. Having mastered ballet in Flora and the Flamingo, Flora takes to the ice and forms an unexpected friendship with a penguin. Twirling, leaping, spinning, and gliding, on skates and flippers, the duo mirror each other’s graceful dance above and below the ice. But when Flora gives the penguin the cold shoulder, the pair must figure out a way to work together for uplifting results.  Artist Molly Idle creates an innovative, wordless picture book with clever flaps that reveal Flora and the penguin coming together, spiraling apart, and coming back together as only true friends do. Plus, this is a fixed-format version of the book, which looks nearly identical to the print version. Praise for Flora and the Penguin “Every bit as graceful a performance for both Flora and her creator. . . . Once again, Idle’s elegantly drafted scenes couldn’t be more polished . . . A real triumph.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)“Funny and charming—a winning, worthy follow-up.” —Kirkus Reviews
