Brim
Brim is a story about how helping rather than hurting can serve to heal the heaviness that sometimes comes with living. Too often, stories that make mention of mental illness are accompanied by dark details that only come to light when they penetrate the threshold required for "breaking news." Unfortunately, when the only times we hear about mental illness are alongside instances of drug use, crime, and mass shootings, we come to believe that one is always accompanied with the other. While that may be the case for some sufferers of mental illness, it is certainly not the whole story indicative of everyone who endures what can be a daily pain of the brain. Brim serves to shine a light on all the other stories that aren't as sensational. Brim offers a peek at another potential where kindness substitutes for lashing out as a response to the pain of mental illness. Instead of rage, calm. Instead of anger, empathy. Brim tells the tale using verse with a youth-directed language. The author's son who suffered from paranoid schizophrenia shared at one point that he had always heard a mean voice in his head, but just didn't realize it wasn't normal until he was in his teens. The story told from this perspective hopes to meet the earliest onslaught of mental illness with a positive possibility that provides an alternative way through the pain. In the absence of mental illness, the message of kindness and helping one another is one with "age-less" and universal applicability.

He thought he'd seen it all. But he's never met a cricket before, which really isn't surprising, because, along with his friend Harry Cat, Tucker lives in the very heart of New York City--the Times Square subway station. Chester Cricket never intended to leave his Connecticut meadow. He'd be there still if he hadn't followed the entrancing aroma of liverwurst right into someone's picnic basket. Now, like any tourist in the city, he wants to look around. And he could not have found two better guides--and friends--than Tucker and Harry. The trio have many adventures--from taking in the sights and sounds of Broadway to escaping a smoky fire. Chester makes a third friend, too. It is a boy, Mario, who rescues Chester from a dusty corner of the subway station and brings him to live in the safety of his parents' newsstand. He hopes at first to keep Chester as a pet, but Mario soon understands that the cricket is more than that. Because Chester has a hidden talent and no one--not even Chester himself--realizes that the little country cricket may just be able to teach even the toughest New Yorkers a thing or two. The Cricket in Times Square is George Selden at his best, and the new illustrations and interior images by Garth Williams make this edition a special treat.
