Advice from My 80-Year-Old Self
Real Words of Wisdom from People Ages 7 to 88
By Susan O’Malley
What advice would your 80-year-old self give you? That is
the question artist Susan O’Malley, who was herself to die far
too young, asked more than a hundred ordinary people of
every age, from every walk of life. She then transformed their
responses into vibrant text-based images. From a prompt to
do things that matter to your heart, to a reminder that it’s
okay to have sugar in your tea, these are calls to action and
words to live by —heartfelt, sometimes humorous, and
always fiercely compassionate. This stirring celebration of
our collective humanity unveils the wisdom we hold inside
ourselves right now.
Susan O’Malley (1976–2015) was an artist and curator from the
San Francisco Bay Area. The impact of her inspiring work has
traveled far and wide and her art has been exhibited in public
projects around the globe.

Recipes • By Jessica Goldman Foung • Photographs by John Lee
More Than 110 Paleo-Inspired Recipes for Everyone
By Irena Macri
Hundreds of millions of people live with medical conditions
that require they lower their sodium intake—heart disease,
hypertension, kidney disease, and diabetes, to name a few—
and research shows most of us would be healthier if we
consumed less salt. What could be a challenge becomes
an opportunity in Low-So Good, a beautifully photographed
book about living a rich life with a low-sodium diet. With 70
recipes for much-loved food (including fries, cake, and dips)
and chapters filled with information about how to entertain,
dine out, travel, and create a supportive community, Low-So
Good empowers anyone to become an expert at living well
with less salt.
The popular paleo diet involves eating more leafy greens,
fruits, meats, and fish, while eschewing processed foods
and dairy. Sounds healthy, right? And strict! Popular
blogger Irena Macri follows the diet 80 percent of the
time, allowing room for the occasional dessert or drink.
The result? She looks and feels great, but not deprived.
More than 100 recipes, beautiful photographs of colorful
creative dishes, and can-do messages from Irena make
Eat Drink Paleo Cookbook a book that appeals to cooks
who want to embrace a healthier diet . . . most of the time.

What’s It Like in Space?
Stories from Astronauts Who’ve Been There
By Ariel Waldman
Everyone wonders what it’s really like in space, but very
few of us have ever had the chance to experience it firsthand. This captivating illustrated collection brings together
stories from dozens of international astronauts—men and
women who’ve actually been there—who have returned
with accounts of the sometimes weird, often funny, and
awe-inspiring sensations and realities of being in space.
With playful artwork accompanying each, here are the real
stories behind backwards dreams, “moon face,” the tricks
of sleeping in zero gravity and aiming your sneeze during
a spacewalk, the importance of packing hot sauce, and
dozens of other cosmic quirks and amazements that come
with travel in and beyond low Earth orbit.
Ariel Waldman is the global instigator of Science Hack Day,
a fellow at the Institute for the Future, a National Academy
of Sciences committee member, a White House Champion of
Change for Citizen Science, and the founder of Spacehack.org,
a directory of ways to participate in space exploration. She lives

Why Boys Need Parents
How to Drive
By Alex Beckerman
Real-World Instruction and Advice from Hollywood’s Top Driver
By Ben Collins
Boys will be boys. Unfortunately, they will also be arsonists,
wrecking balls, flooders, and eight-limbed ninjas of destruction. It is their nature. With photos pulled from the 1950s
on, this book celebrates the wacky, illogical, dangerous, and
ridiculous things boys do. Parents everywhere will laugh in
recognition at each bit of mischief and misadventure—all
proof that boys really do need parents.
Alex Beckerman parents a boy in Austin, Texas.
Here’s the ultimate guide to being the best—and safest—
driver possible. And an absolute must for everyone with a
learner’s permit. Former Top Gear Stig and professional
driver Ben Collins shares expert skills culled from a twentyyear career as one of the best drivers in the world, famous
for racing in the Le Mans series and NASCAR, piloting the
Batmobile, and dodging bullets with James Bond. Refined
over thousands of hours of elite-level performance in the
physics of driving, his philosophy results in greater control
and safer, more efficient and fun driving for all skill levels.
Ben Collins has competed in motor racing since 1994, and his
company Collins Autosport provides precision and stunt driving
for film and television, including Top Gear, the James Bond films
Quantum of Solace, Casino Royale, and Skyfall, and Mission
Impossible: Rogue Nation. He lives in Bristol, England.

Tiny Cat
Tiny Dog
By Yoneo Morita
Just when it seemed pets couldn’t get any more adorable,
we discovered Tiny Cat and Tiny Dog. Direct from Japan,
these are the sweetest—and smallest—pets around. Both
are the size of a macaron, and their mischievous adventures in a full-size world are chronicled in the pages of
these pint-size volumes. Animal lovers of any size will enjoy
following along as Tiny Cat and Tiny Dog encounter everyday objects like a strawberry, a ball of yarn, a rubber ducky,
and more. The resulting cuteness knows no limits, especially since each book in this new series includes a tear-out
postcard to send to a friend!

Cat Zodiac
Garden Gnomes Have Issues
An Astrological Guide to the Feline Mystique
By Maeva Considine • Illustrations by Vikki Chu
By Greg Stones
Brand-new cat owners or those who have lived with a feline
companion or two for years need only look to the stars to
demystify cat behaviors. This zodiac collection delves into
the inner lives of cats, exploring each sun sign and offering
character traits, lifestyle insights, and relationship inclinations to help cat owners learn to live in harmony with their
unique pets. Filled with whimsical illustrations, this book
unlocks the secrets of the feline mystique.
Garden gnomes may be small, but their problems are often
very big. They have issues with snowmen, magnets, bubblegum, and mimes. They really enjoy romance, skinny-dipping,
and paper airplanes, but they have major issues with watermelons, mousetraps, trampolines, and teddy bears—and
through it all they especially love one special thing. Artist
Greg Stones turns his popular, playful illustration style to
the tiny troubles of these beloved characters, presenting
their inner lives with a warm and witty sense of the absurd.
Greg Stones is an artist and the author of Zombies Hate Stuff,
Penguins Hate Stuff, Zombies Have Issues, Sock Monkeys Have
Issues, and Ninjas Have Issues. He lives and works in Rhode
Island.

You Kiss by th’ Book
New Poems from Shakespeare’s Line • By Gary Soto
In his engaging new collection, National Book Award finalist
Gary Soto creates poems that each begin with a line from
Shakespeare and then continue in Soto’s fresh and accessible verse. Drawing on moments from the sonnets, Hamlet,
Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo and Juliet,
and others, Soto illuminates aspects of the source material
while taking his poems in directions of their own, strategically
employing the color of “thee” and “thine,” kings, thieves,
and lovers. The results are inspired, by turns meditative,
playful, and moving, and consistently fascinating for the
conversation they create between the Bard’s time and language and our own here and now.

Discover the stories behind the stories in this treasurable
illustrated biography of Jane Austen. Enchanting illustrations and handwritten text featuring excerpts from Austen’s
personal letters outline the intimate details of the literary
icon’s life—her childhood on a farm, the writing of her first
novella, her marital woes, the inspiration behind Sense and
Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice, and more. Brimming
with delightful details like the objects Austen kept on her
desk and how much Emma originally sold for, this beautiful
package—a petite square with a textured, foil-stamped,
and debossed cover—is a lovely new way to celebrate
Austen’s legacy.
One of literature’s most beloved authors is beautifully
documented in this illustrated biography of Virginia Woolf.
Featuring handwritten text paired with beguiling illustrations and a tactile cover with foil-stamped and debossed
details, this giftable package reveals the formative events
of Woolf’s life: how she was supported—and challenged—
in her craft, her struggles with mental illness, and how her
great works came to be. With lines pulled from Woolf’s own
letters featured alongside interesting details, such as her
nickname for her husband and how slowly her first novel
sold, this intimate guide makes a thoughtful gift for literature lovers and book clubbers.

is about freedom of expression, performance
art, and illusion.”
—Courtney Act, from Why Drag?
“Why drag? Because I like to wear pantyhose.”
—Tammie Brown, from Why Drag?
Why Drag?
By Magnus Hastings • Foreword by Boy George
For over a decade, Magnus Hastings has been photographing the world’s greatest drag superstars and asking
each of them a simple question: Why drag? The result is
this mesmerizing volume in which the queens strut their
stuff and reflect on their shared passion through a mixture
of quips and philosophizing. Subjects include icons of reality TV and underground drag royalty, and photographs
range from the divine to the trashy. Featuring the likes of
Bianca Del Rio and Courtney Act, this collection is a beautiful celebration of drag as an art form and an exhilarating
exploration of what drag means to its greatest artists.
Magnus Hastings is a photographer whose work has been featured
in various books and magazines and shown in several solo exhibitions. He lives in Los Angeles and London.
Boy George is a singer, songwriter, producer, author, and fashion

Tom Clancy’s The Division: New York Collapse
This Book Is a Planetarium
A Survival Guide to Urban Disaster By Alex Irvine
And Other Extraordinary Pop-Up Contraptions • By Kelli Anderson
New York Collapse is an in-world fictionalized companion to
one of the biggest video game releases of 2015: Tom Clancy’s
The Division from Ubisoft. Within this discarded survivalist
field guide, written before the collapse, lies a mystery—
a handwritten account of a woman struggling to discover
why New York City fell. The keys to unlocking the survivor’s
full story are hidden within seven removable artifacts, ranging from a full-city map to a used transit card. Retrace her
steps through a destroyed urban landscape and decipher
her clues to reveal the conspiracy at the heart of this highly
anticipated game.
Never has humble paper had such radical ambitions. Defying every expectation of what a book can be, this pop-up
extravaganza transforms into six fully functional tools: a real
working planetarium projecting the constellations, a musical
instrument complete with strings for strumming, a geometric
drawing generator, an infinite calendar, a message decoder,
and even a speaker that amplifies sound. Artist Kelli
Anderson contributes enlightening text alongside each popup, explaining the scientific principles at play in her constructions and creating an interactive experience that’s as
educational as it is extraordinary. Inspiring awe that lasts
long after the initial pop, This Book Is a Planetarium leaves
readers of all ages with a renewed appreciation for the way
things work—and for the enduring magic of books.

go on a beautiful journey through family history. There’s a
tattoo from a favorite book his mother used to read him,
one from something his father used to tell him, and one
from the longest trip he ever took. And there is a little heart
with numbers inside—which might be the best tattoo of
them all. Tender pictures by New York Times bestselling
illustrator Eliza Wheeler complement this lovely ode to all
that’s indelible—ink and love.

Mamasaurus is the best mamasaurus in the world! Stephan

“Never before has a giant
squid run for president.
We’re making history here!
But not the good kind.”
—JELLYFISH
President Squid
By Aaron Reynolds • Illustrated by Sara Varon
Join Aaron Reynolds and Sara Varon as they explore the
ideal qualities of leaders, diplomats . . . and giant squid.
Squid knows all about being president. It means living in
a big house, doing all the talking—oh, and having a tie is
crucial. He’s all set! In the next election, make a more
informed choice. Vote for President Squid!
Aaron Reynolds is a Caldecott honoree and the New York Times
bestselling author of many books for children, including Here
Comes Destructosaurus! and Carnivores. He has never been a
sardine or a giant squid, but he’s pretty sure neither would make
a good president. He lives in Chicago.
Sara Varon is a printmaker, graphic novelist, and children’s book

Fellowship and an Eisner Award nominee, she currently teaches
printmaking at the School of Visual Arts in New York.

COZY CLASSICS
Cozy Classics
By Jack and Holman Wang
The Cozy Classics series is the brainchild of two brothers, both
dads, who were thinking of ways to teach words to their very
young children. They hit upon the classics as the basis for
their infant primers, and the rest, as they say, is history. Every
classic book in the series is condensed to twelve child-friendly
words—accompanied by beautiful hand-felted illustrations—
that accurately and humorously summarize each book’s plot.
From War & Peace to Moby Dick, here are The Great Books of
Western Literature for toddlers and their parents in board
book form—a little bit serious, a little bit ironic, entirely funny
and clever, and always a welcome gift.
CHILDREN’S
Jack and Holman Wang are twin brothers who grew up in Vancouver,
British Columbia, where Holman still lives. As well as being the creators of the Star Wars Epic Yarns board books, Jack is a professor of
writing at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York, and Holman, a former
middle school teacher, is an artist and author.

Apples and Robins
Over the Ocean
By Lucie Félix
By Taro Gomi
All you need for apples . . . are circles and the color red.
In this extraordinary book, one thing transforms into
another as each page turns—a circle becomes an apple,
an oval becomes a bird, winter becomes spring. Constantly surprising and brilliantly constructed, Lucie Félix’s
Apples and Robins is full of the magic of shape, color,
and imagination. All you need to do . . . is turn the page.
Renowned children’s book creator Taro Gomi has created
another masterpiece. In this beautiful testament to wondering, a young girl gazes out to where the water meets the sky
and wonders what lies beyond the waves. Boats filled with
toys? Skyscrapers filled with people? Houses filled with
families? Or, maybe, over the ocean stands someone not so
different from the girl herself, returning her gaze. In this
celebration of imagination’s power, young readers will find
joy in the mystery of the faraway, the unknown, and the
just-beyond.
Lucie Félix grew up in a tiny village in France. After studying
biology and visual arts, she started creating children’s books in
2012. This book, about the robins that live in her garden yearround, is her second children’s book. She lives in a small town
near Paris, France.
Taro Gomi has created more than 350 books for readers of all
ages, including Bus Stops, My Friends, Spring Is Here, Scribbles,
and Doodles. He lives in Tokyo, Japan.

“Explores the resilient, devoted, physics-defying bonds

Gena /Finn
By Leila Sales
By Hannah Moskowitz and Kat Helgeson
In the war-ravaged England of 1940, Charlotte Bromley is
sure of only one thing: Kitty McLaughlin is her best friend in
the whole world. But when Charlotte’s scientist father makes
an astonishing discovery that the Germans will covet for themselves, Charlotte is faced with an impossible choice between
danger and safety. Should she remain with her friend or journey
to another time and place? Her split-second decision has huge
consequences, and when she finds herself alone in the world,
unsure of Kitty’s fate, she knows that somehow, some way, she
must find her way back to her friend. Written in the spirit of
classic time-travel tales, this book is an imaginative and heartfelt tribute to the unbreakable ties of friendship.
Gena and Finn would have never met but for their mutual
love for the popular show Up Below. Regardless of their
differences—Gena is a recent high school graduate whose
social life largely takes place online, while Finn is in her
early twenties, job hunting and contemplating marriage with
her longtime boyfriend—the two girls realize that the bond
between them transcends fanfiction. When disaster strikes
and Gena’s world turns upside down, only Finn can save
her, and that, too, comes with a price. Told through emails,
text messages, journal entries, and blog posts, Gena/Finn is
a story of friendship and love in the digital age.
Leila Sales is the author of many critically acclaimed young adult
novels, including Tonight the Streets Are Ours and This Song Will Save
Your Life. She lives in Brooklyn, New York. Visit her at leilasales.com.

This Is the Story of You
One Thing Stolen
By Beth Kephart
By Beth Kephart
On Haven, a six-mile long, half-mile-wide stretch of barrier
island, Mira Banul and her Year-Rounder friends have
proudly risen to every challenge. But then a superstorm
defies all predictions and devastates the island, upending
all logic and stranding Mira’s mother and brother on the
mainland. Nothing will ever be the same. A stranger
appears in the wreck of Mira’s home. A friend obsessed
with vanishing disappears. As the mysteries deepen, Mira
must find the strength to carry on—to somehow hold her
memories in place while learning to trust a radically reinvented future. Gripping and poetic, This Is the Story of You
is about the beauty of nature and the power of family, about
finding hope in the wake of tragedy and recovery in the
face of overwhelming loss.
Something is not right with Nadia Cara. While spending a
year in Florence, Italy, she’s become a thief. She has
secrets. And when she tries to speak, the words seem far
away. Nadia finds herself trapped by her own obsessions
and following the trail of an elusive Italian boy whom only
she has seen. Can Nadia be rescued or will she simply lose
herself altogether? Set against the backdrop of a glimmering city, One Thing Stolen is an exploration of obsession,
art, and a rare neurological disorder. It is also a celebration
of language, beauty, imagination, and the salvation of love.

A Touch and Explore ™ Book • By Xavier Deneux
A Touch and Explore ™ Book • By Nathalie Choux
Visual learners and pre-readers can get to know which
animal is soft, curly, smooth, wooly, or silky, and who says
“bah!,” “oink!,” or “cluck-cluck!” as they lift and turn flaps
to open the door of a hutch for rabbits or a coop for a hen
nestled atop her straw nest. With over a dozen animals, this
farmland feast for eyes, ears, and hands lets kids fully
engage with every page.
What’s rough, scaly, smooth, or bumpy? What crawls or dives?
In this splashy treat for visual learners and pre-readers, kids
can discover the facts, feels, and functions of more than two
dozen marine animals. They’ll rub shiny scales and bumpy
barnacles, turn a flap to find a clownfish hiding among the
anemone, touch a shark’s sandpapery skin, and find out
who can squirt ink and change color! This sea-feast for eyes
and hands will encourage kids to immerse themselves in a
fascinating beyond-the-bathtub habitat. It’s a trip to an
underwater world that’s just a touch away!
Xavier Deneux is the creator of over 100 highly acclaimed books
for children, including the BabyBasics™ series, which reflects
Twirl’s multisensory approach to building bright brains. He resides
in Paris, France.
Nathalie Choux grew up in Nancy, France, before moving to Paris

How to Swear Around the World features dozens of favorite curses,
insults, and sayings from all over the globe. Get rid of a pesky hanger-on
in Brazil by telling him to dig for potatoes—vai ceifar batatas. To express
disgust toward your brown-nosing German friend, accuse him of being
a bicycle-rider—radfahrer, or tell someone off in Laos by letting him know
you think his mother enjoys keeping intimate company with dogs—Ma
see mea mung! Make new friends and enemies abroad with this handy
guide filled with fighting words, scatological expressions, dozens of ways
to insult someone’s mother, and many other suitably offensive phrases.

Jason Sacher is a writer and illustrator living in the wilds of southern Maine. He
has long been an admirer of curse words and their many uses, although he is troubled
by the increasing frequency with which those words are vehemently hurled at him
by friends, acquaintances, and members of his household. He figures he must just
have one of those faces. You can read Jason’s comics at www.picnicspirit.com.

Rachel as she lives out the edible adventure that is
la vie parisienne: picnicking along the Seine, chatting
up her local baker or butcher, or perched at a small
café table with an aperitif after a day of shopping at
open-air markets and tiny spice, tea, and pastry shops.
With The Little Paris Kitchen, you will learn to take
as much pleasure in preparing the food as in eating
it. Fresh ingredients and simple techniques celebrate
France’s rich culinary culture, and Rachel shows that
its flavors are within everyone’s reach, no matter
where you are in the world, or how big—or small—
