Or Darwin If You Prefer - Mr...

Mel Hunter

Or Darwin, If You Prefer by Mel Hunter - Mr. Harbinger could not quite believe in the Mouth. But poor Mr. Harbinger—or Darwin, if you prefer—are gone to other times.
Here’s what Fantastic Universe had to say about Mel Hunter, “Mr. Hunter's superb art work has appeared on a baker's dozen science fiction magazine covers during the past year, but incredible as it may seem with this story we introduce him to the reading public for the first time as a science fiction writer. We say incredible, because this is not a beginner's story. It is sparkling, sophisticated, erudite—the work of a craftsman.”
This is the first time we have come across an illustrator turned author. And here’s the amazing thing, he wasn’t any old illustrator, Mel Hunter was a very accomplished illustrator producing illustrations for famous science fiction authors Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein, as well as a technical and scientific illustrator for The Pentagon, Hayden Planetarium in Boston, and the Massachusetts Audubon Society.
Hunter was born in 1927 in Oak Park, Illinois and he taught himself book and magazine illustration. He was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist in 1960, 1961 and 1962. He became a technical illustrator at Northrop Aircraft where he painted illustrations of advanced aircraft and simulated combat scenarios.
His love of air and space took him from California's desert runways to Florida's seacoast launchpads to illustrate every variety of jet-age aircraft and space-age rocket imaginable—from the X-15 to Saturn V. He died in 2004 and according to his final wish, his cremated remains were launched into space on May 22, 2012.
Savor this story, immerse yourself in it, and listen to it as many times as your heart desires—for it stands alone, as the singular science fiction story ever penned by Mel Hunter.

Cori Ann Haydu

Princess in Black meets Monsters, Inc. in a zany, heartwarming new series for early readers 4-8! Written by the acclaimed Corey Ann Haydu, Zoomi and Zoe explores the wonder and anxiety of life's first big transitions with warmth, whimsy, and plenty of silliness.

Zoomi and Zoe were proud to conquer their first Tricky Turnaround together, but the second book in the series brings more changes for the new friends: Zoomi and Zoe are both going to be big siblings!

Zoomi thought her family was pretty great as it was, but then her parents bring home a new baby. (In Zoomi’s humble opinion, Fizzle is very boring and kind of rude.) Meanwhile, Zoe’s dads have a wonderful surprise: Zoe is going to be a big sister, too! But Zoe’s new brother doesn’t seem to like her very much. Why does he keep crying when Zoe is around?

Fortunately, Zoomi and Zoe have a plan: Baby School! With help from Izly and Doug, these unlikely friends are positive they can teach their new siblings how to be better babies—starting with how to sing the alpha-bing, and how to appreciate their big sisters. But teaching Baby School isn’t as easy as it sounds. Can Zoomi and Zoe come to terms with the changes in their families, and even learn a thing or two about these loud, smelly creatures along the way?

Enter through the Pineapple Portal to join Zoomi and Zoe in their second adventure, and keep an eye out for the other books in this zany, hilarious new series for emerging readers: The Tricky Turnaround (book one), and a third title releasing in 2026!
