Cameron & Company Inc How to Love the Whole World
Book Synopsis A powerful, poetic picture book biography about artist Agnes Martin and how she painted to show her love for the worldHow to Love the Whole World is a powerful, poetic picture book biography about fine artist Agnes Martin and how she painted to show her love for the world from international art scholar Henry Martin and author/illustrator Shelley Hampe. Like her contemporary Georgia O’Keeffe, Agnes was deeply inspired by the New Mexican landscape and lived a solitary life there, painting what she loved. And what did Agnes love? She loved an eggshell blue sky at sunrise, and she loved the cotton candy pink sunset. Agnes loved the whole world. She said, “If I paint the things I love, then my paintings will be about love. And you will feel love when you look at them.” She even painted a painting called I Love the Whole World—twice. But some days, Agnes did not love the whole world. Not everyone understood her art, or her, and she felt it all. Agnes painted solace in pale, barely-there, mercurial hues and painstakingly simple lines and squares.In simple, poetic language, How to Love the Whole World tells a story of an artist and answers the question, “How do we love the whole world?” We slow down, pay attention, seek beauty and truth, feel it all, maybe even joy.

Street Noise Books Queer As All Get Out: 10 People Who've Inspired
Book Synopsis“Unique in both format and content, this important book is a first choice to help diversify teen graphic nonfiction collections.” —Starred Review, School Library JournalFollow the daily life of one queer artist from Texas as they introduce us to the lives of ten extraordinary people.The author shares their life as a genderqueer person, living in the American South, revealing their own personal struggle for acceptance and how they were inspired by these historical LGBTQIA+ people to live their own truth. Featuring biographies of Mary Jones, We'wha, Magnus Hirschfeld, Dr. Pauli Murray, Wilmer "Little Axe" M. Broadnax, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Carlett Brown, Nancy Cardenas, Ifti Nasim, and Simon Nkoli.Trade Review“While there have been several collective biographies published about notable historical LGBTQIA+ figures in the last decade, none feel as personal, relevant, and engaging as this one. The decentering of cis gay men allows for a necessary spotlight on lesser-known (but no less important) subjects. . . . Unique in both format and content, this important book is a first choice to help diversify teen graphic nonfiction collections.” —Starred Review, School Library Journal“As White, nonbinary college student Criswell wanders around San Antonio, Texas, they unpack the complexities of Southern identity and begin to research, draw, and discuss significant icons with friends. Accompanying them on this journey, readers meet history-makers who are often overlooked by mainstream U.S. sources—people who broaden Criswell's understanding of the difficulties facing those who have fought for LGBTQ+ justice around the world. . . . A highly personal addition to the body of LGBTQ+ stories.” —Kirkus Reviews“Part personal history, part showcase of heroes, and part resource guide. This is a great start for students writing reports or anyone looking for a new hero.” —Booklist, from the American Library Association“A thoughtful exploration of the lives of often overlooked queer heroes. These people fought for the freedoms we have today, and lived unapologetic lives against the odds.” —Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer: A Memoir “A beautiful showcase of what it’s like to have a conversation with history. Queer people have existed throughout time and their lives echo in our actions and our love.” —Archie Bongiovanni, author of A Quick and Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns “I can't wait to gift this queer history book to every teen I know. Shelby Criswell's personal reflections on queer and trans icons who carving out their own ways to thrive reminds me of how resilient and wonderful humans can be.” —Sarah Mirk, author of Guantanamo Voices “A delightful tour of personal heroes—people who lived with bravery, integrity, and creativity—visualizing the proud history of sexual and gender diversity.” —Hazel Newlevant, author of No Ivy League “An outstanding collection of the vital stories of important and under-heralded queer figures, paired with Shelby's always excellent art and a touching personal narrative.” —Matt Lubchansky, artist and associate editor of The Nib “An illuminating read about the lives of ten lesser-known queer historical heroes, drawn in an engaging and personable fashion.” —Melanie Gillman, author of As the Crow Flies and Stage Dreams “An exciting, essential addition to the queer canon. Shining a light on a diverse group on extraordinary queer folks from the past, and reminding us exactly why these stories are so vital. This book is a treasure!” —Ashley Robin Franklin, author of That Full Moon Feeling “Books like this are so important! Just by reading about the queer activists of our past, a community forms around you. And that community will give you power.” —Steenz, cartoonist of Heart of the City “A heartfelt love letter to the oft-forgot pioneers of the global queer movement.” —Ronnie Garcia, an illustrator in Puerto Rico Strong

Penguin Putnam Inc Opinions and Opossums
Book SynopsisAgnes has been encouraged not to question authority by her mum—but that’s especially hard in religion class, where it bugs her that so much gets blamed on Eve and that God’s always pictured one way. Fortunately, Agnes’ anthropologist neighbour, Gracy, gets Agnes thinking after they rescue an opossum together. Playing dead didn’t serve the opossum well, so maybe it’s time for Agnes to start thinking for herself. And when Agnes learns that some cultures picture God as a female, she feels freed to think—and write—about things from new perspectives. As she and her best friend, Mo, encourage each other to get out of their comfort zone at school as the quiet kids, they quickly find it’s sorta cool seeing people react when they learn you are very much full of thought-provoking opinions. Ann Braden has written a fast-paced, funny novel that will resonate with anyone who’s ever been afraid to say what they think or question the status quo. Story Locale: FloridaTrade Review“Braden's book is perfect for middle-graders of any faith, especially those learning to make their faith their own. The relatable core plot, which folds in themes of income inequality, sexism, and asserting one's rights, moves quickly, and . . . the strong women in Agnes' life steal the show. Agnes’ growth throughout the novel and the familiar middle-grade plot points reimagined through Agnes’ unique situation in her community will resonate with fans of Barbara Dee and Paul Acampora.” —Booklist “A 12-year-old girl learns that questioning faith can make it stronger. . . . Through eye-opening talks with her anthropologist neighbor, creative writing exercises from the perspective of an opossum, and the powerful poetry of Maya Angelou, Agnes finds a version of God that makes sense to her and realizes she has the power to challenge authority. Braden crafts a nuanced story supported by clear metaphors and honest, deep emotions. Readers faced with similar situations will find support here even if it’s only the confirmation to keep questioning. As Agnes learns and grows, she comes to realize that there are many conceptions of religion and God. . . . Mind-expanding.” —Kirkus Reviews“Braden has woven the story of an overlooked and misinterpreted animal with thought-provoking realistic fiction. Braden shares a multigenerational story of how poetry and speaking your truth can be refreshing and connecting. This novel could be useful in social emotional learning lessons about being patient when change happens slowly or allowing oneself permission to feel anger. Readers might relate this quirky tale to Naked Mole-Rat Letters by Mary Amato about strange misunderstood animals and unexpected relationship dynamics. The world needs tweens to reflect on who is telling every story, whether fiction or nonfiction, and the motivations for those perspectives. A healthy reminder that the status quo continually needs to be challenged by thoughtful youths. There are a multitude of metaphors found in the natural world that can provide lessons if we are open to receiving them. A good choice for tween shelves.” —School Library Journal
