Perfect for kids aged 4-8 comes a stunning picture book about persistence, being creative in the garden, and adapting to a new place.

When Amina moves from the Caribbean to a new snowy home, she misses growing her favorite foods. There are no coconut trees to climb, no gardens full of sweet potatoes and callaloo--only ice and snow. As Amina looks out her frosted window, she sings a traditional children's song from back home, adding her own twist: "There's a brown girl in the snow, tra la la la la, where none of her plants will grow."

Determined to find a way to make her favorite plants grow in a new climate, she comes across a possible solution after discovering a library book about gardening and greenhouses. Perhaps there is a way to grow sweet potatoes, after all!

This stunning picture book written by a Guyanese-born author features:

• An introduction to gardening and greenhouses
• A note from the author about the inspiration behind the story

With gorgeous images by Marianne Ferrer, and moving text by Yolanda T. Marshall, Brown Girl in the Snow is inspired by a traditional Caribbean children's song and captures a child's unwavering persistence and passion, as she grows into her new home.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From political economist, cabinet member, beloved professor, media presence, and bestselling author of Saving Capitalism and The Common Good, a deeply felt, compelling memoir of growing up in a baby-boom America that made progress in certain areas, fell short in so many important ways, and still has lots of work to do

"Important and galvanizing." --Senator Bernie Sanders

"Essential reading for understanding this moment in American history." --Molly Jong-Fast, New York Times bestselling author of How to Lose Your Mother

A thought-provoking, principled, clear-eyed chronicle of the culture, politics, and economic choices that have landed us where we are today--with irresponsible economic bullies and corporations with immense wealth and lobbying power on top, demagogues on the rise, and increasing inequality fueling anger and hatred across the country.

Nine months after World War II, Robert Reich was born into a united America with a bright future--which went unrealized for so many as big money took over our democracy. His encounter with school bullies on account of his height--4'11" as an adult--set him on a determined path to spend his life fighting American bullies of every sort. He recounts the death of a friend in the civil rights movement; his political coming of age witnessing the Berkeley free speech movement; working for Bobby Kennedy and Senator Eugene McCarthy; experiencing a country torn apart by the Vietnam War; meeting Hillary Rodham in college, Bill Clinton at Oxford, and Clarence Thomas at Yale Law. He details his friendship with John Kenneth Galbraith during his time teaching at Harvard, and subsequent friendships with Bernie Sanders and Ted Kennedy; and his efforts as labor secretary for Clinton and economic advisor to Barack Obama. Ultimately, Reich asks: What did his generation accomplish? Did they make America better, more inclusive, more tolerant? Did they strengthen democracy? Or did they come up short?

Reich hardly abandons us to despair over a doomed democracy. With characteristic spirit and humor, he lays out how we can reclaim a sense of community and a democratic capitalism based on the American ideals we still have the power to salvage.

This book contains all of Gary Gianni's artwork for George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. Over 300 pages of beautifully illustrated scenes from the five novels in the series--A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast For Crows and A Dance With Dragons--are featured alongside passages from the books themselves.

Also included are illustrations from the two prequels of the series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and Fire and Blood. All together, the paintings and hundreds of drawings in pencil and pen-and-ink provide a unique view of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros as seen through the eyes of the award-winning illustrator. Describing Gianni's artwork, George R.R. Martin says it's "as if I am looking through a window into Westeros, that I am there with Tyrion and Daenerys, with Ned and Arya, with Dunk and Egg."

All of Gary Gianni's previously shown pencil sketches and paintings have been tightened up and polished for this collection, making them appear as new works. In addition, over 35 pencil drawings appear for the first time. The artist draws on his longtime experience in comics and illustration to offer a unique perspective into Martin's universe.

The book also includes an introduction by Cullen Murphy, who discusses the art of illustration and adds context to the pictures by providing an overview of Gianni's career. Notes from the artist reveal insight concerning his methods and the creative process of working with Martin, a relationship that has spanned five years to date.

Collector's Edition Laminated Hardback with Jacket

In a quiet corner of the English countryside, an unlikely friendship sparks between a timid Mole and a spirited Water Rat, drawing them into a series of thrilling riverbank adventures. As they navigate the wild escapades of their friend Toad, whose reckless whims put them all in peril, they encounter wisdom, courage, and loyalty in their steadfast companion Badger. Together, they face mischievous weasels, wild car chases, and daring rescues, discovering the true power of friendship. Each twist and turn brings them closer, weaving a tale of charm, humor, and the quiet magic of home.

The Wind in the Willows captures the spirit of Edwardian England, blending nostalgia with adventure at a time when the world was rapidly changing. Kenneth Grahame's tale of friendship and nature became a beloved classic, offering readers a retreat into the idyllic countryside just as industrialization reshaped landscapes and lifestyles. Its characters, from the daring Toad to the wise Badger, symbolize values like loyalty and courage, resonating across generations. This charming yet profound story laid the groundwork for modern children's literature, celebrating timeless themes of friendship, home, and the beauty of the natural world.

The real story of science isn't a triumphant breakthrough. It's messy, mysterious, and deeply human.

In Lost in Curiosity, award-winning journalist Roberta Kwok pulls back the curtain on what scientific discovery actually looks like... Not a Eureka moment, but a fraught, often chaotic pursuit of truth.

Chronicling researchers' struggles and hopes in the field and lab, Kwok documents it all: fending off relentless snowfall on a remote Greenland glacier, desperately searching for an elusive frog in the rainforests of Borneo, and scrambling to capture fleeting signals of a faraway moon outside our solar system. These are the untold stories of devoted young scientists and restless minds who are chasing nature's riddles, without knowing what they'll uncover.

Through vivid reporting and moments of unexpected emotion, Kwok reveals the inner lives of researchers who care profoundly about understanding our world and saving what's left of it. From enigmatic fossils and mind-bending physics to the puzzling behavior of wild animals, Lost in Curiosity is a journey through the questions that keep scientists up at night--and the sometimes strange, always illuminating paths they take to answer them.

A comprehensive volume covering five seminal genres that shaped art, from the late 19th century and well into the 20th: Impressionism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. Each approach was distinct in aesthetic and philosophy, but all had immediate impact and enduring influence. Many great names were indelibly associated with one, some explored several during their careers.

Impressionism, led by Monet and Renoir, focused on light and color, capturing fleeting moments and challenging academic art's rigidity. Expressionism was driven by artists like Edvard Munch and Wassily Kandinsky to convey raw emotion, distorting reality to reflect the angst of human experience. Surrealists, like Salvador Dalí and René Magritte, explored the subconscious, dreams, and the irrational, blending reality with fantasy across art, literature, and film. With Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko leading the charge, Abstract Expressionism emphasized spontaneity and emotion through bold, gestural brushstrokes, and established New York as the post-war art world's new Mecca. Finally, artists like Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol gained fame and dominated the zeitgeist by synthesizing advertising, pop culture, and high art into Pop Art.

Though diverse, these movements collectively pushed the boundaries of creativity, redefined artistic expression, and altered the trajectory of contemporary art. This lavish edition celebrates their stories, featuring more than 250 high-quality reproductions and texts, exploring how each movement's ideas and innovations transformed art forever.

Jack Davis and Wallace Wood's crazed cartooning in Mad changed the art form, and comedy itself, forever. But their gonzo parody work in Mad's sister satire title, Panic, published at the same time, is less well-known. To invert that injustice, this volume of The Fantagraphics EC Artists' Library presents all their zany, pun-packed Panic lampoonery, especially their pomposity-puncturing movie parodies, including Davis's "My Gun Is the Jury!" "Come Back, Little Street Car!", "A Star Is Corn" and Wood's "African Scream!", "Gone With The Widow," and "20,000 Leaks Under The Sea."

These visual volleys are verbalized by Al Feldstein (editor of Panic, later editor of Mad) and Jack Mendelsohn (prolific cartoonist and writer whose non-comics credits include TV's Laugh-In and The Beatles' Yellow Submarine). But the laughs don't languish. Also included is the never-before-reprinted "V-Vampires," a riotous romp written by the legendary Harvey Kurtzman and drawn by Wood that vanished after its initial appearance more than 70 years ago!

In Dragon Hunter, the third installment of the Skystone Chronicles, Asher and Meleya's stories collide

The land of Evgard is divided. The Knights of the Torch face off against the Mage Hunters in a showdown that will leave both sides scarred. But while the factions struggle to pull together, their real enemy grows stronger.

Now in a collectible hardcover edition featuring gorgeous full-color endpapers, a foiled and embossed jacket, and an exclusive designed hardcover case.

The highly anticipated never-before-published final book in the Kindred's Curse Saga, a slow-burn, epic romantasy series following one woman who must risk everything to save her family--and all of mortalkind.

War has overtaken Emarion. In the north, Ophiucae and his army of bloodthirsty mortals seek to eradicate all Descended from the continent. In the south, the Guardians of the Everflame lie in wait, plotting a rebellion generations overdue.

In Lumnos, Realm of Light and Shadow, the Crowns are gathering. Caught between two deadly foes, they must form an unlikely alliance to save their people.

But the Crowns have a secret--and a heart without its mate will burn the world down to fulfill its fate.

Hatred reigns. Hope seems lost. With the future in darkness, can a flame emerge to bring the light?
