HarperCollins Publishers Inc Chunky
Book SynopsisTrade Review"In “Chunky,” the writer-artist-animator and former Disney art director Yehudi Mercado turns to graphic memoir, and writes in a funny and endearing way about being a fat kid in Texas. The story is brought to life with illustrations that are vivid and often poignant." — New York Times Book Review "Relatable insights into the life of a child who is eager to fit in but also coming into his sense of self, sometimes with the help of adults and sometimes in spite of them. A compelling coming-of-age memoir." — School Library Journal (starred review) "Hudi’s a master at deflecting his shaky self-esteem with zingy one-liners. The digital artwork and sports scenarios play for laughs. Mercado notes in closing remarks, “Being ‘Chunky’ isn’t about being fat. Being Chunky is about feeling like you don’t fit in.” And that’s a theme plenty of middle graders can relate to." — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books "As good-natured a romp as its highly appealing main character. The art evokes a light tone with simple, effective characteristics. A swift, funny tale." — Booklist "Young readers, whether or not they have faced a brutal sports match or insecurities about their appearance, will relate to Hudi and Chunky’s quest to thrive." — Jewish Book Council

Oh—and a raven! And tea! All the kids who have ever wished to be a different person (and who hasn’t?) will want to devour this story.” — Margaret Peterson Haddix, bestselling author of The Greystone Secrets “At turns gentle and mischievous, Unseen Magic cleverly reveals the hidden pockets of magic that shimmer in the world—and within ourselves. This is a story to adore—one that thoughtfully reflects on the fears we keep closest to our hearts, and embraces every precious piece that makes us who we are.” — Heather Kassner, author of The Plentiful Darkness "In Aldermere, shops vanish, doors lead mysterious places, and a sip of magic tea can do anything, including give Finley the bravery she craves. Steeped in friendship, danger, and dark truth, Unseen Magic is a magical voyage of self-discovery." — Jenn Reese, author of A Game of Fox & Squirrels “Shy Fin has fallen in love with the small Northern California town, not least because it has a shop in which she can trade away any unhappy memory she chooses. . . . She accidentally creates a body double made up of all her surrendered memories and suppressed character traits. As a wave of thefts and destructive mishaps set the whole town abuzz, Fin’s search for a way to quash her scary, elusive counterpart grows increasingly urgent. . . . This tale has much to offer readers who prefer a ‘quiet and creeping’ sort of magic.” — Booklist (starred review) “Lloyd-Jones has created a magical place in the Redwoods of Northern California. . . . The book examines what it means to confront fear and how memory can interfere with growth and self-awareness. Fin’s journey leads her through friendship, family, and the challenge of accepting who she was and who she can become. Fans of Harry Potter and magical creatures will not want to put this book down, and will want to revisit Aldermere again and again. An enchanting tale that will keep middle grade readers captivated and wanting more. A must-read for fans of magic worlds and fantastical creatures.” — School Library Journal (starred review) “Lloyd-Jones’ middle-grade debut blends memorable characters, rich descriptions, and a dash of magical mischief to create an original tale. Firmly grounded by Fin’s third-person point of view and a strong sense of place, the tight narrative luxuriates in its slow revelation of the central mysteries. Layered, sophisticated storytelling plants clues for careful readers and gives heart-wrenching depth to characters’ trauma and resilience. . . . A deliciously atmospheric, full-bodied magical brew.” — Kirkus Reviews “Finley Barnes has lived in Aldermere for three years . . . It’s the first place Fin’s felt at home, but she’s still bothered by her crayon-scrawled list of ‘things that were to be avoided at all costs.’ For the price of one memory, though, Aldermere’s tea shop will give her a brew that temporarily relieves her anxiety. But when she removes tea from the shop and brews it herself, Fin accidentally unleashes a monster . . . Offering suspense, reassurance, and magic in a deeply alluring setting, Lloyd-Jones shows how erasing bad memories doesn’t make fear disappear.” — Publishers Weekly “In the tiny town of Aldermere in the midst of California’s redwood forest, magic is a given. It makes life unpredictable. . . . The novel celebrates the regional . . . giving more than a nod to wild fare and sustainable living; indeed, the town’s dilemma about preserving its magic is very much the thorny issue of conservation and protection.

When the opportunity to attend space camp arrives, she worries she might not be capable enough to compete with other kids. But Zippy’s desire to build her rocket is bigger than her fear of failing, and through hard work and creativity works to make her dreams come true.New York Times bestselling author Ruth Soukup empowers children everywhere to dream big and live a life they love. How Big Is Your Brave? encourages readers to face their fears and overcome obstacles in order to follow their dreams and reach their goals.How Big Is Your Brave? is: Great for boys and girls, ages 4–8 An excellent choice for STEM storytime and sparking discussions about STEM fields A great resource to teach young children about confidence, self-esteem, and the value ofTrade ReviewIn this didactic narrative, young bunny Zippy pursues her astronaut dreams with welcome familial support. When her brother Gus, a gardener who knows Zippy's heart is in the stars, encourages enrollment in space camp, Zippy fears the 'big, smart-looking critters signing up.' Remembering wisdom from her grandmother--'Your WHY must be bigger than your fear'--and subsequently guided by her parents and camp counselor, Zippy commits and makes strides at camp, learning that 'action is the antidote to fear.' But when a garden-related accident interferes, Zippy must navigate moving beyond her frustrations. Friend's illustrations are warmly colored, and a variety of critters abound. The lessons Zippy receives--'everyone needs accountability,' among others--are graphically imposed on their respective pages, but the dialogue is no less impactful ('Being brave doesn't mean you're never scared... courage means taking an action, even when you feel afraid'). Though the text-heavy pages make this a hefty read-aloud, it's an uplifting story for increasingly independent readers. * Publishers Weekly *In this inspiring story, a young bunny named Zippy dreams of traveling to outer space. When the opportunity to attend space camp arrives, she worries she might not be capable enough to compete with the other kids. But Zippy's desire to build her own rocket is bigger than her fear of failing, and through hard work and creativity she ends up making her big dreams come true! Through whimsical illustrations and encouraging text, children will discover how standing up to fears both big and small will make them stronger and unstoppable. With encouraging phrases that can turn into your personal slogan, such as 'You're why must be bigger than your fear,' this is such a wonderful illustrated book with a great message for adults and children alike. Generally suited for children who are mature readers as this book is a longer story and has advanced words. But don't let young ones miss out - it's a great read aloud story to encourage social emotional development in children. It's a book that touches on bravery, resilience, confidence, facing fears and overcoming obstacles. I also think it can be a sweet gift of encouragement for adults. * Paws and Pages by Annie *The message of this book is one that all kids will understand in some way, whether it's facing scary situations with courage or working through challenges. Zippy's friendly face and relatable story will win over readers. * Pennsylvania School Librarians Association *This is a cute and encouraging book for children to conquer and face their fears. It has some great inspirational quotes in it that are great for children to think about when they are unsure or afraid. This book encourages children to follow their dreams and has some adorable characters and illustrations. * All Books Great and Small *
