In the wide, wide world with its wide, wide skies, there are wild, wild words waiting to be spoken.

Where the stream twists and sparkles? That’s “sunglitter.” Where the sunset touches the sky? That’s “cloudbloom.”
Come take a walk full of the delight of real nature words—mayflies, sea snails, blackbirds, rockweed—and full of the joy of new words just waiting to be discovered. Perfect as an inspiration before, during, or after a walk, Wildspeak invites readers into the wide possibilities of the natural world, and the wild landscapes of their own imaginations.

Text by David Duff
Illustrations by Marianna Coppo

Everything that lives has a beginning and an end. Hopefully, we all make a few friends along the way. And if we’re lucky those friends won’t eat us.
But you never know. When a dinosaur steps on a worm, things don't start well, but what follows is an unexpected kinship and an exploration of the cycle of life.

Ours: A Story of Loss and Healing
Illustrations by Fran Matsumoto

In late summer, a young boy's parents share the happy news that he's going to be a big brother. As Mama's belly grows and Papa builds a crib, the boy wonders what it will be like to share his favorite toys with his new sibling. Then one cold winter day, Mama and Papa return from the hospital with some devastating news--the baby is not coming anymore. This sudden loss leaves the boy and his parents feeling empty inside.

As spring begins, the grieving family starts a garden together to help their hearts heal. By seeing how some seeds take root and flourish and how some seeds never come to be, the boy grows in his understanding of his family's experience and their resilient love.

Ours is a heartfelt story for families who have experienced unexpected loss and are healing and processing their grief together.

Deli Days
Illustrations by Marta Pantaleo

At Zeyde's Deli, Sundays mean helping Grandpa serve the neighborhood's best pastrami on rye.

One moment you're carrying a tray of the deli's famous sandwiches. The next, you’re standing in a sea of broken cookies and scattered sprinkles while the lunch rush stares. But right there in the chaos, a grandchild learns what family tradition really means―and that sometimes the best memories come from our biggest messes. A warm, funny story about growing up one matzo ball at a time.

“A child looks forward to visiting their grandfather’s deli each Sunday in this upbeat picture book that highlights the various delights found in cultural hotspots…The electric colors in the pop art illustrations make the bright deli scenes engaging, and the depictions of steaming borscht and stuffed sandwiches are sure to make young audiences salivate.”
Foreword

“Original, fun and funny, Deli Days [is] a unique, memorable, and deftly crafted story of food, family and tradition. It is also an especially and unreservedly recommended pick for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections for children ages 3-7.”
Midwest Book Review

"Bright colors and bold, simple brush strokes bring the deli to cheerful life. The pages are full of loving depictions of traditional Ashkenazi foods like borscht, knishes, pastrami, and rugelach… A delicious slice of Jewish life, passed down from one generation to the next.”
