Zilot & Other Important Rhymes
A New York Times Bestseller! An IndieBound Bestseller! A USA Today Bestseller! Emmy Award-winning and New York Times bestselling writer, comedian, and actor Bob Odenkirk and his daughter, illustrator Erin Odenkirk, present poetic nonsense for all ages perfect for fans of Shel Silverstein and Jack Prelutsky! Bob Odenkirk began writing these poems with his children when they were little, compiling the poetry into a homemade book entitled Olde Time Rhymes. He wanted Nate and Erin to understand that actual people had written the books the family loved to read and to instill in them the feeling that they could be writers and illustrators themselves. Almost twenty years later, when the Odenkirks found themselves quarantined under the same roof, they revisited these mostly silly, sometimes poignant works. It wasn't until Erin began to create illustrations to accompany the words, though, that the book grew to be something much bigger than an Odenkirk family treasure. From the titular made-up word for a blanket fort, an adorable dog with a penchant for the zoomies, and a father teaching his kids how umbrellas work, the subjects of these works, complemented by Erin's whimsical and detailed linework, come alive on these pages. Featuring over seventy poems, Zilot & Other Important Rhymes will delight readers young and old.

Their book is used as a tool for violence prevention and healing in the Free Minds initiative "On the Same Page," and is also taught as part of college curricula at several universities. This 10th anniversary edition includes updated forewords from Free Minds poet ambassadors as well as from award-winning formerly incarcerated poet Reginald Dwayne Betts.
Through My Little Eyes
In "Through My Little Eyes," a heartfelt letter-poem to Mommy, a young child observes the daily superheroic feats that their mother performs. The child's eyes see their mother as a magician conjuring meals, a general guiding them through life's battles, a fairy creating imaginative wonder, and a wizard teaching wisdom. But as the story unfolds, the child realizes that their mother doesn't always see herself in the same light. She catches her reflection with a sense of disappointment, comparing herself to others and believing she falls short. The child's perspective remains unwavering, expressing that their mother is already a shining star, a guiding light, and a perfect parent. The child encourages their mother to let go of self-doubt and see herself as they do - a superhero capable of incredible feats of love and strength. The story beautifully portrays the bond between a child and their mother, showing that sometimes, the way we perceive ourselves can be vastly different from how our loved ones see us.
