New Picture Book alert!:
Charlie, a notorious cheese thief, is a mouse on a mission...
Ever since he was little, he had found himself in spots of bother with the law. He had pinched Parmesan, crept off with Camembert, and robbed Roquefort!
Charlie is planning his biggest mission yet--to steal a cheesy sculpture from the Museum of Art! After a hair-raising break-in--creeping past cameras, dodging guards, and avoiding gates--he reaches his stinky prize. But Officer Rita is soon on the case. Will Charlie get away with it this time? The Big Stink is a witty, charming picture book packed with film references that the grown-ups will enjoy too!

Tomorrow I'll Be Brave (Board book)
"Jessica Hische, one of the great designers and typographers, now shows herself equally adept at creating gorgeous and immersive images for young readers. This is a joyous burst of color."--Dave Eggers, author of Her Right Foot
Tomorrow I'll be all the things I tried to be today:
Adventurous, Strong, Smart, Curious, Creative, Confident, & Brave.
And if I wasn't one of them, I know that it's OK.
Journey through a world filled with positive and beautifully hand-lettered words of widsom, inspiration, and motivation. As this book reminds readers, tomorrow is another day, full of endless opportunities--all you have to do is decide to make the day yours.
“Encouraging kids to be adventurous, strong, smart, curious, creative, confident, and brave. At the same time, reminding them that if they couldn’t be any of those things today, there is always tomorrow. Wonderfully illustrated and lyrical with her words, SF author Jessica Hische teaches self acceptance and how to stay hopeful; great lessons for kids of any age.”
-Hannah, Bookseller at Books Inc. Alameda
