None of it would be possible if it wasn’t for this forest in South Charlotte, NC. I talk about it so much that I thought maybe it’s time you get to meet all that inspires me.

16 NOV 2024 · The Vert family is celebrating a very special occasion: it’s Ivan’s birthday! And Estie knows that every birthday needs a great party, with lots of guests, party hats, and twinkling tin foil stars. Because that is what everyone wants on their birthday, right? But did Estie ever ask Ivan?
Young Estie is an extrovert and Ivan is an introvert, and by watching excited Estie mistakenly plan a lively birthday celebration for quiet and understated Ivan, readers learn the same important lesson as Estie: It’s more than okay to be yourself, whoever that may be.
The New York Times bestselling duo of award-winning author Ann Patchett and Fancy Nancy artist Robin Preiss Glasser, first combined their superpowers of humorous, engaging text and vivid illustrations to create fun and captivating picture books with Lambslide and Escape Goat. Now they’re back at it again with The Verts, a heartfelt story about honoring our differences.

26 OCT 2024 · Introducing Stinky’s Stories, the first-ever illustrated chapter book series
from beloved New York Times bestselling authors Chris and J. J.
Grabenstein (Shine!) about a storytime stuffed skunk that has a smelly
take on classic fairytales. With over five million books in print and
best-known for #1 New York Times’ bestselling Mr. Lemoncello series, this
is Chris’ (and J.J.’s!) first foray into writing for a younger chapter book
audience.
Inspired by Chris and J.J.’s love for the library and instilling the importance
of reading at a young age, the new series takes a silly twist on well-known
storybook fables. Building on little kids’ sheer love of potty humor,
storytelling hero Stinky encourages his friends to use their imagination to create their own storybook endings. Filled with
page after page of hilarious illustrations by acclaimed artist Alex Patrick, Stinky’s Stories is the perfect series for young,
reluctant, and emergent readers—or any kid who just loves to laugh.

17 OCT 2024 · When Mac first opens his classroom copy of Jane Yolen's The Devil’s Arithmetic and finds some words blacked out, he thinks it must be a mistake. But then when he and his friends discover what the missing words are, he's outraged. Someone in his school is trying to prevent kids from reading the full story. But who? Even though his unreliable dad tells him to not get so emotional about a book (or anything else), Mac has been raised by his mom and grandad to call out things that are wrong. He and his friends head to the principal's office to protest the censorship... but her response doesn't take them seriously. So many adults want Mac to keep his words to himself. Mac's about to see the power of letting them out. Amy Sarig King writes this story from real life experience. Jane Yolen’s The Devil’s Arithmetic was censored in her local elementary school in the exact way as it’s described in her novel. After buying an uncensored copy at her local independent bookstore, she went to the principal to fix the problem, but was shrugged off as if she were crazy to think that censorship is wrong.
