Each Day is a Gift
Illustrated by Natalia Vasilica
Published by Beaming Books
Coming November 19!
Each day brings the possibility of new gifts. We welcome some gifts with delight. Others are the kind we'd rather return. Lyrical and explorative, Each Day Is a Gift gently reveals how gifts' purposes are not always clear immediately, and while we can't choose what gifts we receive, we can choose how to use them.

Still There Was Bread
Illustrated by David Soman
Published by HarperCollins
Coming October 15!
Nana is coming to visit! She’s going to teach Little Pickle to make her famous “Nana rolls”—a special bread recipe that Nana’s nana taught her. Together, they gather ingredients: eggs and milk, flour and oil, sugar and salt, yeast and water.
As they mix them together to form the dough, Nana shares stories about how making this treasured family recipe has changed over the years—and how it’s sustained their family through good times and hard ones. And through the times when they could be together—and the times when they couldn’t. Because sometimes a simple loaf of bread can mean so much more.
