Abrams I Am a Cat
Book Synopsis A celebration of both individuality and community, author-illustrator Galia Bernstein’s I Am a Cat is a strong debut that shows we’re all more alike than we think . . . if we look closely enough. A simple housecat named Simon encounters some bigger cats: Lion, Puma, Panther, Tiger, and Cheetah. Each of the big cats has something to say about Simon not being “cat” enough. According to them, he just doesn’t measure up. He doesn’t have Lion’s mane or Cheetah’s spots. He doesn’t sleep in trees like Panther or climb mountains like Puma. He’s small and fuzzy, not big and strong. But ultimately, Simon shows the big cats that he’s just like them . . . only smaller.“Witty language and delightfully bold digital illustrations with hand-painted textures elevate I Am a Cat from a read-once picture book to an experience that children will want to explore mulTrade Review**STARRED REVIEW** "Bernstein’s debut is a fresh, powerful twist on the tension between in-groups and out-groups.

Abrams Leyla
Book SynopsisLeyla is sick of her big, loud, overbearing family. They are always chatting, snuggling, and grooming each other (ew!), andfor Leylathere's no escape from their attention. So, she decides to run away until she can't hear (or smell) her baboon troop anymore. In the middle of her desert habitat, she finds a lizard sunning himself. Unlike her family, the lizard loves to sit alone, be quiet, and do absolutely nothing at all. Leyla joins the lizard, and after soaking up some quiet time, she feels recharged and ready to return home to her large, ever-doting family. Now that she knows where she can always find a little peace, Leyla can embrace the chaos and the kisses with open arms. From the celebrated author-illustrator ofI Am a Cat, Leyla shows kids how to appreciate both the wild and the mild. Trade Review“For many of us, including children, life is so busy that we often need respite. Galia Bernstein’s Leyla is a picture book about finding that: a young baboon in a big family is overwhelmed by fuss and noise until she meets a lizard who tells her how to feel the sun and the breeze and to listen to insects. Then she enjoys the boisterousness of her family, but knows she can find space. Lively, humorous drawings make this idea unpreachy.” -- The Sunday Times - Culture
