My Big Embarrassing Elephant
Written by Angie Lucas & illustrated by Pierre Collet-Derby
This empathetic and kid-friendly story is perfect for teaching lessons about how to deal with embarrassment.
Maya and her family have a problem. They try ignoring it, dancing around it, even sweeping it under the rug. Yet the elephant in the room remains. And Maya is at her wit’s end figuring out how to hide it from everyone.
Then a new friend moves in next door, and Maya begins wondering if there might be a better way to deal with the whole situation?
The Dogs Next Door
Written & illustrated by Patricia Carlin
Absurd in the best way! A silly, playful, multilayered picture book for kids – and grownups – who adore dogs and giggling.
When new dogs move next door and invite themselves over for breakfast, it can test a girl’s patience. But when the dogs eat all the bacon? That’s just rude.
Little Wolf's Howl
Written by Nelly Buchet and illustrated by Mathias Ball
A Story of Getting Lost, Only to Find One’s Voice
When Little Wolf becomes separated from her family, she remembers her mama’s advice: If you’re ever lost, find North. But who or what is North?
Sophie 1, 2 & 3
Written and illustrated by Brian Anderson
When children's book author and cartoonist Brian Anderson unexpectedly took in a chocolate lab puppy, he didn't know the lovable furball would be the catalyst for the breakthrough he needed. Sophie inspired his nationally syndicated comic, Dog eat Doug. A decade later that popular comic became the basis for a series of middle grade graphic novels, with the first three books receiving the Junior Library Guild Gold Standard. Aptly named after the dog who served as an unwitting muse, this humorous and heartfelt series reminiscent of Calvin & Hobbes has found fans in children and adults alike with its relatable characters drawn from Anderson's herd of rescue pets.
The Adventures of Penguin & Panda
In the The Adventures of Penguin & Panda graphic novel series “a can-do panda and a laze-about penguin are inexplicably best buds” (Publishers Weekly). Relatable, sweet stories full of silliness and charming friendship anecdotes with only small conflicts make this a positive and happy read. A 2024 BEST GRAPHIC NOVEL FOR CHILDREN and highly recommended by School Library Journal, Betsy Bird at AFuse8Production and YA Books Central and perfect for the early graphic novel reader who devoured Narwhal and Jelly, Captain Underpants or Elephant and Piggie.
