Her kitten dozes nearby. But when Kitten notices a mouse and dives after it through a framed poster on the wall\, an epic chase through time\, art\, and history ensues. Is it a dream? That’s up to the reader to decide\, but for the kitten\, every leap and bound is full of suspense and makes for a masterpiece. \n\nCaldecott Honor–winning and New York Times bestsellingauthor-illustrator Brian Lies creates a truly unique picture book journey that invites young readers through the galleries of an art museum as well as through time\, space\, and history. As the cat and mouse leap from one page to the next\, they are portrayed in the style of masterful artworks from history—an ancient Egyptian relief\, an illuminated manuscript\, a stained-glass window\, a ceramic dog—each painstakingly and lovingly re-created in its original media by Brian Lies. When the sly mouse gets away\, Kitten finds himself lost and alone. Will art help him find his way home? \nThis visual showstopper by an award-winning and bestselling picture book creator offers readers a page-turning cat and mouse chase\, an introduction to famous works of art throughout history\, an epic adventure story\, and a homecoming. Back matter includes information about how each of the illustrations in the book was created\, notes on the original artworks featured in the book\, and an afterword inviting young readers to make\, create\, and build things. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganized by Fondazione di Studi di Storia dell’Arte Roberto Longhi and Civita Mostre e Musei.

With vibrant\, graphic illustrations\, expressive characters\, and off-beat humor\, this is a wonderfully inventive twist on a classic tale.

A beautiful story about everyday magic.\n“A loving survey of the queer community in all its diversity. . . . With affirming discussions of togetherness and LGBTQ+ rights\, the book’s final takeaway that ‘being yourself is a blast’ hits just the right note.” —Booklist \nPride’s . . . a day that means “Together\, we are strong!” \nThis joyful picture-book homage to a day of community and inclusion—and to the joys of anticipation—is also a comprehensive history. With bright\, buoyant illustrations and lyrical\, age-appropriate rhyme modeled on “’Twas the Night Before Christmas\,” it tackles difficult content such as the Stonewall Riots and the AIDS marches. On the night before Pride\, families everywhere are preparing to partake. As one family packs snacks and makes signs\, an older sibling shares the importance of the march with the newest member of the family. Reflecting on the day\, the siblings agree that the best thing about Pride is getting to be yourself. Author Joanna McClintick and Pura Belpré Award–winning author-illustrator Juana Medina create a new classic that pays homage to the beauty of families of all compositions—and of all-inclusive love.

A gift from her obachan\, it holds special memories of her grandmother’s visit last summer. And Suki is going to wear it on her first day back to school — no matter what anyone says.When it’s Suki’s turn to share with her classmates what she did during the summer\, she tells them about the street festival she attended with her obachan and the circle dance that they took part in. In fact\, she gets so carried away reminiscing that she’s soon humming the music and dancing away\, much to the delight of her entire class!Filled with gentle enthusiasm and a touch of whimsy\, Suki’s Kimono is the joyful story of a little girl whose spirit leads her to march — and dance — to her own drumbeat.
