Advice from My 80-Year-Old Self


Real Words of Wisdom from People Ages 7 to 88
By Susan OMalley

What advice would your 80-year-old self give you? That is


the question artist Susan OMalley, who was herself to die far
too young, asked more than a hundred ordinary people of
every age, from every walk of life. She then transformed their
responses into vibrant text-based images. From a prompt to
do things that matter to your heart, to a reminder that its
okay to have sugar in your tea, these are calls to action and
words to live by heartfelt, sometimes humorous, and
always fiercely compassionate. This stirring celebration of
our collective humanity unveils the wisdom we hold inside
ourselves right now.
Susan OMalley (19762015) was an artist and curator from the
San Francisco Bay Area. The impact of her inspiring work has
traveled far and wide and her art has been exhibited in public
projects around the globe.

You Kiss by th Book


New Poems from Shakespeares Line By Gary Soto

In his engaging new collection, National Book Award finalist


Gary Soto creates poems that each begin with a line from
Shakespeare and then continue in Sotos fresh and accessible verse. Drawing on moments from the sonnets, Hamlet,
Macbeth, A Midsummer Nights Dream, Romeo and Juliet,
and others, Soto illuminates aspects of the source material
while taking his poems in directions of their own, strategically
employing the color of thee and thine, kings, thieves,
and lovers. The results are inspired, by turns meditative,
playful, and moving, and consistently fascinating for the
conversation they create between the Bards time and language and our own here and now.

This Book Is a Planetarium

A Survival Guide to Urban Disaster By Alex Irvine

And Other Extraordinary Pop-Up Contraptions By Kelli Anderson

New York Collapse is an in-world fictionalized companion to


one of the biggest video game releases of 2015: Tom Clancys

field guide, written before the collapse, lies a mystery
a handwritten account of a woman struggling to discover
why New York City fell. The keys to unlocking the survivors
full story are hidden within seven removable artifacts, ranging from a full-city map to a used transit card. Retrace her
steps through a destroyed urban landscape and decipher
her clues to reveal the conspiracy at the heart of this highly
anticipated game.

Never has humble paper had such radical ambitions. Defying every expectation of what a book can be, this pop-up
extravaganza transforms into six fully functional tools: a real
working planetarium projecting the constellations, a musical
instrument complete with strings for strumming, a geometric
drawing generator, an infinite calendar, a message decoder,
and even a speaker that amplifies sound. Artist Kelli
Anderson contributes enlightening text alongside each popup, explaining the scientific principles at play in her constructions and creating an interactive experience thats as
educational as it is extraordinary. Inspiring awe that lasts
long after the initial pop, This Book Is a Planetarium leaves
readers of all ages with a renewed appreciation for the way
things workand for the enduring magic of books.

Alex Irvine is an award-winning author of games and fiction.

Apples and Robins

Over the Ocean

By Lucie Flix

By Taro Gomi

All you need for apples . . . are circles and the color red.
In this extraordinary book, one thing transforms into
another as each page turnsa circle becomes an apple,
an oval becomes a bird, winter becomes spring. Constantly surprising and brilliantly constructed, Lucie Flixs
Apples and Robins is full of the magic of shape, color,
and imagination. All you need to do . . . is turn the page.

Renowned childrens book creator Taro Gomi has created


another masterpiece. In this beautiful testament to wondering, a young girl gazes out to where the water meets the sky
and wonders what lies beyond the waves. Boats filled with
toys? Skyscrapers filled with people? Houses filled with
families? Or, maybe, over the ocean stands someone not so
different from the girl herself, returning her gaze. In this
celebration of imaginations power, young readers will find
joy in the mystery of the faraway, the unknown, and the
just-beyond.

Lucie Flix grew up in a tiny village in France. After studying


biology and visual arts, she started creating childrens books in
2012. This book, about the robins that live in her garden yearround, is her second childrens book. She lives in a small town
near Paris, France.

Taro Gomi has created more than 350 books for readers of all
ages, including Bus Stops, My Friends, Spring Is Here, Scribbles,
and Doodles. He lives in Tokyo, Japan.

By Leila Sales

consequences, and when she finds herself alone in the world,
unsure of Kittys fate, she knows that somehow, some way, she
must find her way back to her friend. Written in the spirit of
classic time-travel tales, this book is an imaginative and heartfelt tribute to the unbreakable ties of friendship.

love for the popular show Up Below. Regardless of their
differencesGena is a recent high school graduate whose
social life largely takes place online, while Finn is in her
early twenties, job hunting and contemplating marriage with
her longtime boyfriendthe two girls realize that the bond
between them transcends fanfiction. When disaster strikes

her, and that, too, comes with a price. Told through emails,

This Is the Story of You

One Thing Stolen

By Beth Kephart

By Beth Kephart

On Haven, a six-mile long, half-mile-wide stretch of barrier


island, Mira Banul and her Year-Rounder friends have
proudly risen to every challenge. But then a superstorm
defies all predictions and devastates the island, upending
all logic and stranding Miras mother and brother on the
mainland. Nothing will ever be the same. A stranger
appears in the wreck of Miras home. A friend obsessed
with vanishing disappears. As the mysteries deepen, Mira
must find the strength to carry onto somehow hold her
memories in place while learning to trust a radically reinvented future. Gripping and poetic, This Is the Story of You
is about the beauty of nature and the power of family, about
finding hope in the wake of tragedy and recovery in the
face of overwhelming loss.

Something is not right with Nadia Cara. While spending a


year in Florence, Italy, shes become a thief. She has
secrets. And when she tries to speak, the words seem far
away. Nadia finds herself trapped by her own obsessions
and following the trail of an elusive Italian boy whom only
she has seen. Can Nadia be rescued or will she simply lose
herself altogether? Set against the backdrop of a glimmering city, One Thing Stolen is an exploration of obsession,
art, and a rare neurological disorder. It is also a celebration
of language, beauty, imagination, and the salvation of love.

The Vanishing Throne


Book Two of the Falconer Trilogy By Elizabeth May

The second book in the Falconer trilogy is packed with


surprises and suspense. Aileana Cameron, the Falconer,
disappeared through the portal that she was trying to close
forever. Now she wakes up in the fae world, trapped and
tortured by the evil Lonnrach. With the help of an unexpected
ally, Aileana re-enters the human world, only to find everything irrevocably changed. Edinburgh has been destroyed,
and the few human survivors are living in an uneasy truce
with the fae, while both worlds are in danger of disappearing
altogether. Aileana holds the key to saving both worlds, but in
order to do so she must awaken her latent Falconer powers.
And the price of doing that might be her life. Rich with imaginative detail, action, fae lore, and romance, The Vanishing
Throne is a thrilling sequel to The Falconer.
Elizabeth May currently resides in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Falconer
was her debut novel.

who can squirt ink and change color! This sea-feast for eyes
and hands will encourage kids to immerse themselves in a
fascinating beyond-the-bathtub habitat. Its a trip to an

AROUND

THE WORLD

Jason Sacher is a writer and illustrator living in the wilds of southern Maine. He
has long been an admirer of curse words and their many uses, although he is troubled
by the increasing frequency with which those words are vehemently hurled at him
by friends, acquaintances, and members of his household. He figures he must just
have one of those faces. You can read Jasons comics at www.picnicspirit.com.

The Little Paris Kitchen is a modern approach to

You may think French cuisine is


overlooked these days, stereotyped
with the stuffy image of an old-fashioned chef laboring
a terribly complicated dish, finished with a ton of butter.
s non! I say. French flavors and techniques neednt be out
of reach of the everyday home cook.

ris, I eat and cook everything from simple weekday suppers to big
nners. And just because they use fancy words like jus or blanchir
you have to have a Michelin-starred kitchen to cook great French

tea parties for eight to romantic three-course dinners for two.
Join me on an exciting edible French adventure.
Welcome to my little Paris kitchen . . .

Cordon Bleu cookery. With only two gas rings and a


mini oven in her petit cuisine, Rachel serves up fresh
and accessible makeovers of dishes such as boeuf
bourguignon and steak frites.
Discover a new spin on much-loved classics such
as coq au vin as skewers, croque madames baked in
muffin tins, and a startling crme brle spiked with

Rachel as she lives out the edible adventure that is


la vie parisienne: picnicking along the Seine, chatting
up her local baker or butcher, or perched at a small
caf table with an aperitif after a day of shopping at
open-air markets and tiny spice, tea, and pastry shops.
With The Little Paris Kitchen, you will learn to take
as much pleasure in preparing the food as in eating
it. Fresh ingredients and simple techniques celebrate
Frances rich culinary culture, and Rachel shows that
its flavors are within everyones reach, no matter
where you are in the world, or how bigor small
