R. Gregory Christie
10 John F. Kennedy was born 100 years ago this year. As America’s 35th president, he often took bold actions—establishing a peace corps and challenging Americans to land on the moon. But on civil rights he didn’t act quickly. It took the urging and the example of other courageous people—Martin Luther King, Jr. and Jackie Robinson— and even students and children—to help him realize that the time to act was NOW. On June 11, 1963, Kennedy’s “big speech”—his civil rights address—was a game changer, and his efforts laid the groundwork for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Using text drawn directly from JFK’s speeches and including extensive back matter, this is a thought-provoking and sensitive account of a transformative time in history. Acclaimed author Shana Corey and New York Times Best Illustrated artist R. Gregory Christie offer a fresh look at one of our country’s most inspiring presidents, underscoring the greatness and fallibility of our leaders and how each one of us, no matter who we are, have the power to make a difference. “ Reading this made me feel as if I was there in Birmingham with the children. ” Lynda Blackmon Lowry (author of Turning 15 On The Road To Freedom: My Story of the 1965 Selma Voting Rights March) on A Time to Act—John F. Kennedy’s Big Speech
has illustrated over fifty children’s books and is a four-time recipient of the Coretta Scott King Honor Award for Illustration and a two-time recipient of the New York Times Best Illustrated Books of the Year Award. He’s also a recipient of the NAACP’s Image Award, the Boston Horn Book Award, and the American Library Association Theodor Seuss Geisel Award in Illustration. When he’s not illustrating, Gregory spends time educating young people about art and literacy. He lives in Decatur, Georgia, where he owns a bookstore that sells autographed children’s books, GAS-Art Gifts (Gregarious Art Statements). Find out more at gas-art.com.

studied in Taipei and Germany. She loves reading and travel. On a trip to southern Germany in 2015, she heard the story of the German Philosopher Walter Benjamin and his suitcase that had disappeared. She was so fascinated that she created Mr. Benjamin’s Suitcase of Secrets. This is her first children’s book.
13 Mr. Benjamin is a philosopher with extraordinary ideas. But when his country begins punishing people for being different, he must escape. Over hills and valleys he trudges with a heavy suitcase. What could he be carrying? Unfortunately, Mr. Benjamin’s escape is not successful and he and his suitcase disappear without a trace. But the mystery of his suitcase and what it contained lives on. A compelling and true story—beautifully illustrated by Pei-Yu Chang— about the importance of personal freedom and the distances we go to protect it.

When Elephant takes a peaceful walk with his green umbrella, he’s interrupted by Hedgehog, Cat, Bear, and Rabbit—all claiming that they’ve had exciting adventures with his umbrella.

Hans de Beer
The short North Pole summer is ending, and the reindeer are starting their winter migration. But this year, man has interfered with their journey. A high fence that goes on for miles is right in their path, and piles of giant pipes litter the landscape. The herd is trapped. If they don’t get through, they will perish. Lars has an idea, but will it work?
Lars and the Reindeer
Fans of the Little Polar Bear books will delight in this exciting story with its important message about man’s impact on the environment.

The Tale of a Flying Mouse Torben Kuhlmann These are dark times for a small mouse. A new invention—the mechanical mousetrap—has caused all the mice but one to flee to America, the land of the free. But with cats guarding the steamships, trans-Atlantic crossings are no longer safe. In the bleakest of places the one remaining mouse has a brilliant idea. He must learn to fly!

The Rainbow Fish ISBN: 9781558580091 • 32 pages • Grades K-3
The Rainbow Fish is an international best-seller and a modern classic. Eye-catching foil stamping, glittering on every page, offers instant child appeal, but it is the universal message at the heart of this simple story about a beautiful fish who learns to make friends by sharing his most prized possessions that gives the book its lasting value. An IRA-CBC Children’s Choice, Christopher Award winner, and American Bookseller ABBY winner.
Publisher’s Weekly Starred Review ★ In a project that seamlessly blends elements of a picture book, comic, and novel, gifted newcomer Kuhlmann imagines that the world’s first transatlantic flight was made not by Charles Lindbergh, but by an intrepid German mouse flying in the opposite direction, starting from Hamburg. Driven to desperation by the deaths of many of his compatriots in newly invented mousetraps, the mouse decides to head for America: “A huge statue greeted all who arrive there, whether human or mouse.” Squads of guardian cats rule out ship journeys, and the mouse begins experimenting with flying machines. Kuhlmann makes every detail of the mouse’s endeavor look and sound delightfully plausible, from his da Vinci–like working sketches to his plan to hoist his plane to the top of a tower by attaching it to the gears of the tower’s clock. The fragility of his machine and the owls that watch him like sentinels at every step give the story constant tension: the owls’ golden eyes are painted with eerie menace. It’s all terrific entertainment, and the fame Kuhlmann imagines for the mouse when he finally succeeds (“The Transatlantic Rodent Hero” trumpets a billboard) inspires a future famous aviator—or so Kuhlmann claims. An exceptionally fine debut. Ages 4–up. (May)

Ethan’s grandma is a little different. In fact, she’s a ninja!
Ethan becomes the hit of the school— as quick as a zip line—the moment his grandma drops from the ceiling and teaches the kids karate moves. That is, until her power kick deflates his team’s soccer ball. Why’d you have to bring your ninja grandma! But could hanging around a ninja have its benefits? The big game is coming, and Ethan is about to find out in this hilarious story that is anything but ordinary.
About the Author: Todd Tarpley lives in a magical kingdom called
New York City, inside a teeny-tiny castle, with a beautiful princess, two ninja sons, and a menagerie of barnyard animals. His previous picture books include Ten Tiny Toes and How About a Kiss for Me? You can visit him at toddtarpley.com.
About the Illustrator: Danny Chatzikonstantinou was born in 1973. He
illustrates children’s books and sometimes writes the words, too. He learned his craft by drawing on napkins at first. Later on, he moved to sketch pads and notebooks. Now he has a full set of sharpened pencils and tons of blank drawing paper that he never uses because he moved back to napkins again. Danny is a self-taught artist who lives and works in Athens, Greece.
