Bristol complements the mood with deep earthtoned illustrations that pay tribute to Gorey’s own work and to writers and artists he influenced.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books —

Telling a story with imagination and wit, Ferry creates a cantankerous but lovable character in Captain Swashby and a mysterious, well-intentioned, mischievous one in the sea...an exceptionally satisfying picture book." —Booklist, STARRED review ★ "This readaloud is sweetly told as Swashby overcomes his bitter habits to welcome new, friendly, and energetic people into his quiet life....Martinez-Neal’s art captures the essence of the ocean....

Penguin Young Readers Yes No A First Conversation about Consent
Book SynopsisBased on the research that race, gender, consent, and body positivity should be discussed with toddlers on up, this read-aloud board book series offers adults the opportunity to begin important conversations with young children in an informed, safe, and supported way. Developed by experts in the fields of early childhood development and activism against injustice, this topic-driven book offers clear, concrete language and imagery to introduce the concept of consent. This book serves to normalize and celebrate the experience of asking for and being asked for permission to do something involving one''s body. It centers on respect for bodily autonomy, and reviews the many ways that one can say or indicate No. While young children are avid observers and questioners of their world, adults often shut down or postpone conversations on complicated topics because it''s hard to know where to begin. Research shows that talking about issues like race, gender, and our bodies from the age of two not only helps children understand what they see, but also increases self-awareness, self-esteem, and allows them to recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination and prejudice. These books offer a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult. Illustrative art accompanies the simple and interactive text, and the backmatter offers additional resources and ideas for extending this discussion.Trade ReviewBEST BOOK OF 2022 - Children's Book Committee of Bank Street College"Affirmative consent, bodily autonomy, and correct vocabulary for body parts and more are all addressed in the frank, easy-to-understand text." --Booklist (STARRED REVIEW)"A thoughtful and inclusive approach to discussing consent both for young children and their grownups." -- Rise: A Feminist Book Project (Top Ten Book Pick, ALA RISE, 2023)
