Picture Book
#1 New York Times bestseller and NAACP Image Award winner! The debut picture book from iconic voting rights advocate and bestselling author Stacey Abrams is an inspiring tale of determination, based on her own childhood.
Stacey is a little girl who loves words more than anything. She loves reading them, sounding them out, and finding comfort in them when things are hard.
But when her teacher chooses her to compete in the local spelling bee, she isn't as excited as she thought she'd be. What if she messes up? Or worse, if she can't bring herself to speak up, like sometimes happens when facing bullies at school?
Stacey will learn that win or lose . . . her words are powerful, and sometimes perseverance is the most important word of all.
Plus don't miss the follow-up from the same team, Stacey's Remarkable Books!

This rollicking, rhyming tale of animal poo will have children squealing with laughter--even as they learn about forest ecosystems and discover surprising facts about scat. Sniff, sniff! went Mouse. Whiff, whiff! went Mouse.
"Who left this poo outside my house? I must undo this mystery. Poo-dunit?" Mouse is dismayed to step outside her house one morning only to discover a giant pile of poo! Who could have done such a dastardly deed? Mouse questions all the animals of the forest, but it's too big to be Squirrel's, too dark to be Coyote's, and too messy to be Deer's. Will Mouse ever track down the culprit--and will she find a way to make the best of this smelly situation? Between giggles at every mention of the word poo, children will learn to identify eight different animals' scat and discover how droppings can help plants to grow, all while enjoying Katelyn Aronson's rhyming text and Stephanie Laberis's expressive animals. Back matter includes a mini "poo-dunit" mystery challenging children to match scat with the correct animal, as well as a note on why poo is precious--and who is responsible for the biggest poo of all.

Then I step back and think, Does it need something else? He probably needs a hat, and then he is my panda. When a girl draws a panda, it comes to life and helps her embrace her own creativity and unique way of seeing the world.
