Ever since Gabrielle Stanley Blair became a parent, she’s believed in one idea strongly: Design doesn’t disappear when kids appear. She has always felt that an intentionally designed environment is one of the greatest gifts you can give to your family. That the items and decor one chooses tell a story. That a home is truly a child’s first and favorite picture book and the comfort she reaches for when she needs it most. In this, her first book, Blair offers a room-by-room manual for keeping things sane, organized, creative, and stylish. She provides advice on making a foyer more functional; which sofas work best for different kinds of families; how to organize family photos; throwing birthday parties; kitchen organization; cooking with children; keeping a home office; how to deal with a never-ending stream of toys; traveling with children; how to balance it all; and much, much more. G a b r i e l l e S ta n l e y B l a i r is the founder of Design Mom—praised as a top parenting blog by The Wall Street Journal, Parents magazine, Time, and Better Homes & Gardens—which features everything at the intersection of motherhood and design, from DIY projects and home tours to book reviews, family-friendly travel ideas, and discussions about modern parenting. She is a founder of the blockbuster biannual design conference Alt Summit and a creator of the video series Olive Us. She and her husband, Ben Blair, along with their six children—Ralph, Maude, Olive, Oscar, Betty, and Flora June—live in Oakland, California.

• Keep Your Charcoal Pure
Joe Carroll makes stellar barbecue and grilled meats in Brooklyn, New York, at his acclaimed restaurants Fette Sau and St. Anselm. In Fire Equals Flavor, Carroll gives us his top 20 lessons (i.e., chapters) and more than 90 recipes to make great fire-cooked foods at home, proving that you don’t need to have fancy equipment or regional traditions to make incredible barbecue. While most barbecue and grilling books focus solely on recipes, Fire Equals Flavor teaches the hows and whys of live-fire cooking: how to create low and slow fires, how to properly grill whole fish, why American whisky blends so nicely with barbecued meats. Simple and straightforward recipes nested within each lesson include Pulled Pork Shoulder, Beef Short Ribs, Bourbon-Brined Center-Cut Pork Chops, Sweet Tea–Brined Poussin, Grilled Clams with Garlic Butter, and Charred Long Beans. Fire Equals Flavor shows that anyone can follow these simple lessons to become an expert. Born and raised in northern New Jersey, J o e C a r r o l l didn’t grow up steeped in Southern barbecue culture. With a curious nature and a love of food, Carroll launched barbecue joint Fette Sau in 2007, luring equal parts hipsters and barbecue devotees to the garage-turned-restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. With his beer garden, Spuyten Duyvil, and casual American steak house, St. Anselm, in Brooklyn, Carroll continues to expand, opening Fette Sau in Philadelphia (in 2012) and St. Anselm in Manhattan (in 2014), and he plans on rolling out the concepts in cities around the country. Carroll; his wife, Kim; and their twin daughter and son live in Brooklyn, New York.

Every piece is beautifully photographed, as are the majority of how-to steps, and the information is presented in an easy-to-follow way, like a recipe. The book also includes an overview of simple jewelry-making techniques and tips, with best practices for how to work with various materials; how to wear jewelry; and how to work with design elements that include color, scale, and shape.

Today, she is a brand strategist and editorial director for companies like Rue La La and Cricut.

“Get outdoors and enjoy yourself.” That’s the mantra of The Picnic. Picnics are the silver bullet of entertaining: they take the stress out of parties and leave only the fun. This irresistible book is filled with recipes, tips, tricks, and the secrets to effortless outdoor get-togethers. A key tenet to picnicking is that there are no rules—but there are hints to make it easier. Menu planning and portioning, how best to transport your feast, and what to do when bad weather strikes are just some of the topics covered in The Picnic. Alfresco-friendly recipes for Shocking Pink Beet Hummus, Japanese Potato Salad, Smoky Tea-Brined Fried Chicken, Blue Ribbon Tomato Pie, Banana à Trois Pudding Parfaits, and Sour Cherry Sangria make these parties no ordinary fete. Features include deviled eggs 12 ways, Salads on a Stick, Ten Tantalizing Tea Sandwiches, and Ten Fabulous Floats, all illustrated and presented visually to make for an entertaining read. M a r n i e H a n e l writes for Vanity Fair, The New York Times Magazine, and Marie Claire. A n d r e a S lo n e c k e r is a cookbook writer, the recipe editor of Kinfolk, and the author of Pretzel Making at Home and Eggs on Top (Chronicle Books).

A riveting collection of nonfiction accounts of war and everyday heroism for middle-grade readers What turns an ordinary person into a hero? What happens in the blink of an eye on a battlefield (or in any dangerous situation) to bring out true courage? The men and women who have been recognized by the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation know the answers to these questions deep in their hearts. We learn of Jack Lucas, a 13-year-old who kept his real age a secret so he could fight in World War II—where he deliberately fell on a grenade to save his buddies during the Iwo Jima invasion—and Clint Romesha, who almost single-handedly prevented a remote U.S. Army outpost in Afghanistan from being taken over by the Taliban. Also included are civilians who have been honored by the Foundation for outstanding acts of bravery in crisis situations: for example, Jencie Fagan, a gym teacher who put herself in danger to disarm a troubled eighth grader before he could turn a gun on his classmates. Adding depth and context are illuminating sidebars throughout and essays on the combat experience and its aftermath: topics such as overcoming fear; a mother mourning her son; and “surviving hell” as a prisoner of war. Back matter includes a glossary and an index.
