About How to Draw a Zombie :

When it comes to drawing zombies, embracing imperfection is the way to go in this tongue-in-cheek instructional picture book narrated by a zombie.

About Find the Sun :

Take a leap and find the sun . . . Eddie doesn’t like Mondays. He’d rather burrow under the covers than face the day. Then an unexpected friend arrives to take him on a journey. Eddie is afraid, but that’s okay, journeys can sometimes be frightening. Step by step Eddie grows braver. Before long, he understands . . . Through any storm, you can always find the sun.

About The Inactivity Book :

Told in Kyo Maclear’s signature lyrical voice, and with Tracy Subisak’s whimsical illustrations, here is a funny ode to the lost art of loafing. In a world that often celebrates productivity, this picture book reminds us of the quiet, necessary joy of simply being. It’s perfect for idlers of all ages–because who doesn’t need a little inactivity now and then?

About Night Ride:

A stunning wordless picture book in the never before seen medium of stained glass about a group of kids riding through NYC, capturing the joy of Black childhood and the freedom of exploring a city that feels like it belongs to you. Setting out on a warm and glorious night, a group of kids grab their bikes to explore a city that for a moment in time feels like it belongs entirely to them. Riding from Harlem, through Central Park, to Chinatown, and over the Brooklyn Bridge, the iconic landmarks of New York City become mirrors that reflect their joy and freedom.

About I Am Not Boring:

What’s so special about a log? It just sits there and does nothing. How boring! However, you may be surprised to learn that logs are anything but boring—they are an essential part of life in the forest. Logs provide shelter, become food, and even turn into a safe place for a new tree to grow.
