This meta-leaning and hilarious picture book about animal habitats on every continent will have kids (and adults!) laughing every time they pick it up • .The meta concept and comical dialogue between the narrator and animals make this a book kids will come back to over and over again • Evergreen topic of animals combined with humor that works well in this space • Includes educational backm atter about animals (in and out of Antarctica!)
.Turtles are found on every continent EXCEPT Antarctica. But not for long! When a David Attenborough-esque narrator explains that turtles are found everywhere except Antarctica, one determined turtle sets out to prove him wrong. After recruiting other non-Antarctic animals along the way—much to the narrator’s dismay—the turtle and his adventurous friends travel through fields, forests, and cross an entire ocean to reach their goal. But what exactly do they do once they get there? Perfect for anyone who’s ever gone a little too far to prove a point, this nature documentary gone wrong is a gleefully funny lesson in determination and the beauty of having a contingency plan July 2021

It Will Be OK
A story of empathy, kindness, and friendship Lisa Katzenberger pi c t u r e
Sometimes the best thing we can do for our loved ones is listen and be present as long as they need us.
Giraffe and Zebra meet every day under their favorite tree to walk to the watering hole. But today, Giraffe isn’t there! Where could he be? Zebra spots him hiding in the tree; Giraffe has seen a spider and is scared silly. Zebra patiently talks to Giraffe and does the very best thing: supports Giraffe for as long as Giraffe needs it. A sweet story about the power of friendship, kindness, and empathy that helps us face our fears no matter how silly they may seem. February 2021

Have you ever needed just a little more space?

• Strong market demand: This book satisfies reader demand for picture books starring lovable, funny characters with subtle underlying messages for children, like the Pigeon series, the Pout-Pout Fish series, and more. • Seasoned illustrator with writing debut: The author has worked as a commercial animator on television shows for more than a decade, and this is her debut as an author-illustrator • Series to grow: Strong potential for a series, board book, and/or merchandising following Gil the Goldfish
Gil the Goldfish lives in a fishbowl with 138 pebbles—he counts them every day—and a castle. It feels TOO CROWDED! When Gil leaves his bowl in search of open spaces, he finds a world full of many interesting…and loud…and possibly dangerous…creatures. It turns out that life outside the bowl might not be right for a fish. Thank goodness for Turtle, a citizen of the not-so-great outdoors who comes to Gil’s rescue! Will Gil make peace with his home sweet home, and maybe even find room for a friend in the process?
LENA PODESTA lives in Portland at the base of a volcano with her husband and two children. She’s been an illustrator and animator for more than fifteen years, and her clients have included The Simpsons, 20th Century Fox, Highlights Magazine, Universal Studios, Hallmark, Ernst & Young, Proctor & Gamble, and more.

The Girl Explorers
How a Group of Globetrotting Women Trekked, Flew, and Fought Their Way Around the World
Jayne Zanglein
The untold stories of women who broke the rules, trekked the globe, and changed the world! • Great hook: Women and STEM (+ art!)—the women broke records, discovered new species, and widened understanding of different cultures • Breaking new ground: The story of the four women (and the wider SWG organization) has never been told before • Great research: Author has direct contact with the families and personal photographs; additionally, she has retraced the footsteps of some of the international travel
“Don’t take women when you go exploring!” In 1932, Roy Chapman Andrews, the president of the Explorers Club, told hundreds of female students at Barnard College that women and exploration could never mix. He obviously didn’t know a thing about either...
The Girl Explorers is the inspirational and untold story of the women who broke apart the stuffy men’s club and founded the Society of Woman Geographers (SWG), and how some key members—including Blair Niles, Amelia Earhart, Gloria Hollister, and Anna Heyward Taylor—paved the way for women scientists by scaling mountains, exploring the seas, flying across the Atlantic, and recording the world through film, sculpture, and art.
JAYNE ZANGLEIN is a labor lawyer and law professor, and the author of four law books. She lives in North Carolina.

An irreverent and hilarious guide to becoming zen as f*ck from the creator of Rage Yoga • .Edgy, authentic self-help is strong (in many subcategories), and pairing it with yoga is the perfect way to target a wide range of audiences, from yogis to people looking for empowering stress management, anger control, and fun exercise outlets • An expert author who founded the Rage Yoga practice and has been featured in Cosmo, Shape, Self, Bustle, GQ, and much more; content easily portable in bite-size pieces • Alternative exercise practices are a huge trend (goat yoga, morning raves, hula fit, etc.), and Rage Yoga is a way to pull in that audience
From the creator of the international viral sensation Rage Yoga comes a book that will empower readers to crush their bullsh*t, unleash their innermost Badass Self, and become zen as f*ck. Rage Yoga is taught by certified instructors and done while blasting heavy music, loudly cursing like a sailor, and extending middle fingers (a.k.a. “fist unicorns”) high into the sky. Rage Yoga embraces the misfits of the yoga world, pairs well with a cold beer, and is often done in alternative venues such as pubs and breweries. This book will explore how and why Rage Yoga came to be and how to create a regular practice through breath work, positional exercises, and mindfulness, along with two seven-day programs.
