Book SynopsisSynopsis coming soon.......Trade Review"Averbeck plays contrarian in this fun exercise that defies narrative assumption.... It’s a concept that starts cleverly and then, almost sneakily, warms the heart." — BOOKLIST, December 1, 2010"Averbeck (In a Blue Room) explores the idea of expectations in this short, sweet, philosophical speculation.... Even very young readers will find they've succeeded in following a rather convoluted piece of reasoning, clause by clause and picture by picture; it's a book in which the action unfolds in the mind as much as it does on the page." --Publishers Weekly, November 22, 2010"There’s a quiet tenderness to Averbeck’s prose that blends gracefully with the gentle humor of the bumbling critters and engages the audience in predicting the answer to “What comes next?” --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, January 2011"With winsomely simple text and illustrations, this picture book is less a story than a convergence of fanciful possibilities.... Reminiscent of favorites like Mike Lester’s A Is for Salad (Putnam, 2000) and George Shannon’s Tomorrow’s Alphabet (Greenwillow, 1996), Except If is an entertaining, intriguing mental adventure." -SLJ February 2011"In this deceptively simple yet delightful tale, an egg is an egg. And that egg will become a baby bird … except if it becomes a baby snake instead.... Harkening back to Remy Charlip’s classic Fortunately (1964) and, more recently, to Laura Vaccaro Seeger’s First the Egg (2007), Averbeck proves that he, too, grasps the incredible power of the page turn.... The existential question posed holds huge potential for organized classroom exercise and solo flights of fancy alike. With heavy, smudgy lines, flat, muted tones and adorable creatures, Averbeck (In a Blue Room, 2008, illustrated by Tricia Tusa) makes his illustrative debut. All the while, he demonstrates that things are often what they seem … except if, of course, they are not." - KIRKUS, December 15, 2010

Abrams Things I Know How to Do
Book SynopsisTrade Review**STARRED REVIEW** "In this tour de force, Schwartz makes slice-of-life depictions of the everyday lives of young children seem like a piece of cake, belying her extraordinary skills of observation and visual characterization... Schwartz solidifies her place alongside the likes of Kate Greenaway, Gyo Fujikawa, Helen Oxenbury, Shirley Hughes, and Marla Frazee as chroniclers of little ones’ lives." * Kirkus Reviews *The text’s rhythm keeps the pace lively while the gouache illustrations inject each activity with true joy and personality... There is much to recognize, relate to, and discover for children and grownups sharing this book for the first time or on repeated viewings. A poster on the back of the book jacket brings all one hundred things together into a large, countable burst of colorful activity. * The Horn Book Magazine *Independence can be community and solitary at the same time. Children and families in these pages do things alone, or together. Schwartz makes it all look like a breeze. With dynamic sets of rhyming pairs to read aloud or all alone, this book makes the mere act of existing and doing into an all-day celebration. * School Library Journal *

Abrams Sal Boat
Book SynopsisA boy builds a unique boat of his own with some help from his community in this new picture book written and illustrated by Thyra Heder, the critically acclaimed author of Alfie. Sal loves the water. All day, he thinks about it: being out there, just him and the waves, alone. More than anything else, he wants a boat. And he knows just what it would look like. So he decides to build it himself. It isn’t long before everyone in town starts sharing advice. But Sal doesn’t need their help. He knows just what he’s building. And he does it! Except . . . he forgets one crucial detail—that no project, big or small, can be launched without a little help. From the acclaimed author-illustrator of Alfie and How Do You Dance? comes a clever and heartfelt tale about creativity, collaboration, and how you don’t always have to be alone to be free.“Along with effectively capturing the sTrade Review**STARRED REVIEW** "Along with effectively capturing the setting’s small-town feel in her watercolors, Heder depicts a light-skinned protagonist whose changing facial expressions and body language offer a positive study as he goes from intense, scowling concentration to delight, dismay, then despair, resignation, and, bit by bit, anger... A literally buoyant reminder that sometimes it takes a village." * Kirkus Reviews ***STARRED REVIEW** "In a film-worthy climax, Sal runs into a potentially tragic difficulty, and the diverse community of people that teased him before rallies to his rescue. Heder zooms in on the expressions that cross Sal’s face as he realizes his error: frustration, tearful despair, and resolve. Sal’s creation is the kind of inventive structure that beckons readers who daydream about adventure, and the resourceful realization of his vision offers deep satisfaction." * Publishers Weekly ***STARRED REVIEW** "A lovely, luminous evening boat regatta concludes this thoughtful tale of imagination, determination, and community. * Booklist *

The text provides painful insight into the creative process, and Ross’ digitally colored pencil drawings capture this charismatic spirit…. Share this lively tale of bighearted friendship and originality with young readers needing a little zest for life.” * Kirkus Reviews, July 1, 2013 *“Readers can’t help but be charmed by this spunky heroine’s enthusiasm and her desire to please two friends with opposite tastes. Ross’s spirited drawings, rendered in pencil and colored digitally, keep the action bouncing along.” * School Library Journal, August 2013 *"This [book pictures]...the world of an active, creative young girl and [describes]...friendships and expectations, which aren’t always neat and tidy. As the day of the big Parade of Books approaches, Chloe discovers that her two best friends, Leo and Emma, each expect her costume to reflect their favorite theme (monsters for Leo, fairies for Emma). Not wanting to disappoint either, Chloe imagines all kinds of alternatives, including a hoped-for snow day in summer. But ultimately she creates a wonderful compromise that pleases everyone, especially herself. Readers will grin at Ross’ depictions of Leo as a fairy king and Emma as a monster, Chloe’s dreams of possible alternatives for her friends. Their expressions are as lively as their potential outfits. And the wordless viewpoints of Bert the dog and Chloe’s baby brother (who hides some vampire teeth in his diaper) add to the fun. Lots of costume possibilities here—for all kinds of pretending." * Booklist Online, September 2013 *"Get out your craft supplies--the queen of DIY is back! It's up to Chloe to create the perfect costume--and save the day--in this delightful follow-up to Crafty Chloe." * Craft & Home Projects, Summer 2014 *
