A BRIEF HISTORY OF SURFING

Collecting the best of Matt Warshaw’s seminal History of Surfing, A Brief History of Surfing is an evocative and deceptively

Three thousand years ago, the greatest sailors in the world

a spirited teenager who sails out on a daring mission to prove
herself a master wayfinder and fulfill her ancestors’ unfinished
quest. Showcasing the stunning artwork from the film’s
creation—including character designs, storyboards,
colorscripts, and much more—The Art of Moana is the ultimate behind-the-scenes look at the making of this original film.

WELCOME TO THE CLUB
100 Parenting Milestones You Never Saw Coming
By Raquel D’Apice
From the comedian behind the popular parenting blog The
Ugly Volvo comes a refreshing spin on the baby milestone
book. Instead of a place to lovingly capture the first time baby
sleeps through the night, this book shows what it’s like the first
time baby rolls off the bed/sofa/changing table, leaving mom
or dad in a state of pure terror (it happens). These 100 rarely
documented but all-too-realistic milestones­—such as “First
Time Baby Says a Word You Didn’t Want Her to Say”—provide
comfort, solidarity, and some much-needed comic relief for new
parents. Laugh-out-loud funny text and distinctive paper-cut
illustrations of these “bad” parenting moments make this a
must-have book for anyone entering the mysterious club of
parenthood.
