Tilbury House,U.S. Amadis Snowman
Book SynopsisWhy does Amadi's mother insist he learn to read words? Why should an Igbo boy of Nigeria, who will become a great trader, waste precious time on books?Trade Review"Amadi’s experiences are genuine and come across naturally in the narrative. The vibrant illustrations depict the setting and bring richness and depth to the story." -- School Library Journal"Children will enjoy reading about Amadi’s life in the village, depicted in the earth-toned, intimate scenes. It’s a nice reversal that young children will be able to grasp—what looks exotic and faraway to one person is a place where someone else lives." -- Booklist"This tale shines a welcome light on cultural differences." -- Kirkus"A beautiful tribute to the power of reading." -- Andrea Davis Pinkney, Coretta Scott King Book Award winner

Tilbury House,U.S. No I Wont Go to School
Book SynopsisAlonso Núnez’s playful story, Dave Morrison’s rollicking Spanish-to-English translation, and Bruna Assis Brasil’s imaginative illustrations offer a doomsday vision of a child’s first day of school that any young reader will recognize.Trade Review"A child’s imagination inflates school fears in Mexico-based author Núñez’s first English-language book...In sophisticated pen-and-ink and photographic collages, Brazilian illustrator Brasil renders the teacher as a hydra and the school bus as a horned monster, and sharp-featured students wear expressions of wide-mouthed terror...Núñez is effective at conveying the sense of doom that ruminating on the unknown can bring, while Brasil’s art blends creaturely details and photographic accents to stylized effect." -- PW"A boy walks readers through his concerns about his first day of school: "Now I'm in the belly / of this monstrous bus. / The driver's a zombie / who won't talk to us." The story follows the expected school-isn't-so-bad path, and the rhymes (translated from the Spanish) drop the odd beat, but elevating the affair is the surrealism-tinged art reflecting the kid's imagination." -- Nell Beram - The Horn Book Guide

Luis Amavisca and Blanca Lacasa, with Gusti's wonderful illustrations, present, in the form of everyday situations, a brief manual for feminist girls and boys. Equality is everyone’s responsibility. A las niñas y niños feministas nos gustan todos los colores, llevar el pelo lo largo que queramos y elegir nuestros juguetes. Nos encanta jugar todas y todos juntos y mostrar nuestras emociones.

Luis Amavisca y Blanca Lacasa, junto a las inconfundibles ilustraciones de Gusti, presentan, en forma de situaciones cotidianas, un breve manual para niñas y niños feministas. La igualdad es cosa de todas y de todos. Trade Review"The art itself is by Gusti, which is a pretty smart move since his is a style that is hard to resist. In showing me this book, Ellen made sure to display her favorite image of a Zoom classroom that shows different kinds of hair. I’m still keen on anything that shows what life was like when the pandemic started. Pretty cool"– School Library Journal
