This spring we’re so excited to be releasing children’s books by
amazing authors and illustrators, some of whom we’ve worked with before, and some who are completely new to us.

From Vanya Nastanlieva, the author/illustrator behind the adorable book
The New Arrival (Simply Read Books, 2013), comes a lovely, equally cute picture book about a small mouse doing his best to play with a big bear,
Mo and Beau.

We’re producing a fun picture book this season called
The Storybook Prince that uses die-cuts (cut-out holes in the pages) to let readers peek into each fairy tale the prince reads. It’s by Seattle’s Doug Keith.
Teatime is a lovely rhyming picture book by children’s poet Tiffany Stone and illustrated by Jori van der Linde, in which a nighttime adventure begins when two friends share a cup of tea…by jumping into the cup off a teaspoon, rowing a sugar cube, and sliding down a teaspout!
Taffy Time by Jennifer Lloyd and Jacqui Lee (the duo behind the
Murilla Gorilla series) tells a classic story of making maple syrup taffy at Sugar Hill Farm.

Lindsey Yankey, author/illustrator of the stupendously gorgeous book
Bluebird (Simply Read Books, 2014) is releasing another striking picture book:
Sun and Moon. Seriously beautiful.
Wendell the Narwhale by San Francisco-based illustrator Emily Dove is a very cute picture book about a narwhale looking for friends in the ocean—it seems no one can see past his big pointy nose.
Brandee Bublé and Eliska Liska, the team behind the popular picture book
O’Shae the Octopus (Simply Read Books, 2014) are bringing out another charming rhyming picture book about
Jayde the Jaybird, who has a tiny left wing and a big voice.

Bird is a beautiful wordless picture book from Spanish illustrator Beatriz Martin Vidal, which artfully brings us up to the moment of a child’s flight into imagination.
We’re also releasing a new title in the popular
Kendra Kandlestar chapterbook series by Lee Edward Födi. This will be the fifth book in the fantasy/adventure series:
Kendra Kandlestar and the Search for Arazeen. Books one through four have now been made available as ebooks as well!
And last but not least we’ll be bringing out a new edition of the popular book
The Woman Who Married a Bear with a very cool new textured cover. More on that soon.
Thanks for checking in on us! You can view our full Spring 2015 catalog of books
