The Line in the Sand by Thao Lam received a starred review from School Library Journal. School Library Journal called the book “another wordless winner from Lam, who knows how to posit questions and trust readers for answers.” This is the second starred review for the book, which has also received a Kirkus star. The Line in the Sand, a wordless story about conflict resolution, publishes September 15.

Beautiful You, Beautiful Me by Tasha Spillett-Sumner and illustrated by Salini Perera received a starred review from Kirkus this week. It’s the book’s first star! According to Kirkus, the book is “a lovely accompaniment to any cuddle.” Beautiful You, Beautiful Me is a story about a multiracial child navigating identity and belonging with her mother, publishing October 15.

Watch for these two books publishing this fall! We’ll have more news to share about our new fall books in the coming weeks.
