So delighted to see this book out in the world! Carter Higgins and Daniel Miyares have captured the everyday magical things of childhood in their new collaboration. There are so many beautifully hazy wonders and paper-engineered surprises to behold — big, small and in-between — for readers young and old.
Big and Small and In-Between was written by Carter Higgins, illustrated by Daniel Miyares and published by Chronicle Books.
The beloved work of Alice and Martin Provensen is explored in this new tome which includes hitherto unseen paintings, drawings, travel sketchbooks, photographs, quotes, speeches and possessions from their archive. Karen Provensen Mitchell, the Provensens’ daughter, speaks about her parents’ lives and work in a lovely, insightful interview, and editor Robert Gottlieb and book historian Leonard Marcus offer essays on memories of the pair and their impact on midcentury children’s literature and beyond. For those who treasure the Provensens’ charming and whimsical art, don’t miss this one.
The Art of Alice and Martin Provensen was published by Chronicle Chroma.
Just because someone is quiet doesn’t mean they’re shy. When people see Emile’s quiet ways, what they don’t know is that there is so much going on inside — he’s actually a daring captain of a great ship and a valiant knight, amongst so many other things. His imagination and thought life are rich, vibrant and overflowing. He also wisely knows that there is a quiet side to strength, friendship and knowledge that people sometimes overlook. We love this very thoughtful and affirming ode to introverts!
I Am Quiet: A Story for the Introvert in All of Us was written by Andie Powers, illustrated by Betsy Petersen and published by Bala Kids. It’ll be out soon on April 12!
