An American Story (Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award Winner) by
From the fireside tales in an African village, through the unspeakable passage across the Atlantic, to the backbreaking work in the fields of the South, this is a story of a people's struggle and strength, horror and hope. This is the story of American slavery, a story that needs to be told and understood by all of us. A testament to the resilience of the African American community, this book honors what has been and envisions what is to be.

In Butt or Face, weird animals are introduced with a close-up photo. Kids must guess: are they seeing ... um ... err ... the bottom or the top? Readers will learn about animals like Cuban Dwarf Frogs, whose backsides look like a pair of eyes, and the Mary River Turtle, which not only has a unique f.ace, but even breathes through its butt! On every reveal page, kids can enjoy the animals' complete photos and fascinating scientific facts, which explain how the critters' camouflage and trickery help them to engage with their habitats. Can YOU tell a butt from a face?"-- Provided by author's website

The Eyes and the Impossible by
"Johannes, a free dog, lives in an urban park by the sea. His job is to be the Eyes -- to see everything that happens within the park and report back to the park's elders, three ancient Bison. His friends -- a seagull, a raccoon, a squirrel, and a pelican -- work with him as the Assistant Eyes, observing the humans and other animals who share the park and making sure the Equilibrium is in balance. But changes are afoot. More humans, including Trouble Travelers, arrive in the park. A new building, containing mysterious and hypnotic rectangles, goes up. And then there are the goats -- an actual boatload of goats -- who appear, along with a shocking revelation that changes Johannes's view of the world. A story about friendship, beauty, liberation, and running very, very fast, The Eyes & the Impossible will make readers of all ages see the world around them in a wholly new way." -- Provided by publisher.
