The Itch
Izzy is a tiny little itch, the annoying kind that hides in those places just out of reach. For a time, he lived inside a stinky, dirty, old shoe that belonged to a young boy named Julian. Izzy snuggled under the little pad inside the bottom of Julian's shoe. He only came out at important times, like when Julian was getting ready to kick the winning goal! But when Julian outgrows his shoe, Izzy needs to find a new home. On his journey, Izzy discovers a zoo, and the unsuspecting patrons find themselves in the unfortunate position of trying to scratch away Izzy by any means necessary. Chaos ensues as he moves around the zoo, from the lions' den to the monkey cage. Have you ever seen a polar bear with an itchy nose? Eventually, Izzy wonders if the zoo is really the best place to dance and have a good time. Maybe there are better places for him to practice his craft? A picture book for children, The Itch was born from the imaginations of two kids and their dad who wondered, mostly at night before bed, where do itches come from and where do they go when you scratch them?

Dread Nation
New York Times bestseller; 6 starred reviews!At once provocative, terrifying, and darkly subversive, Dread Nation is Justina Ireland's stunning vision of an America both foreign and familiar--a country on the brink, at the explosive crossroads where race, humanity, and survival meet.Jane McKeene was born two days before the dead began to walk the battlefields of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania--derailing the War Between the States and changing the nation forever.In this new America, safety for all depends on the work of a few, and laws like the Native and Negro Education Act require certain children attend combat schools to learn to put down the dead.But there are also opportunities--and Jane is studying to become an Attendant, trained in both weaponry and etiquette to protect the well-to-do. It's a chance for a better life for Negro girls like Jane. After all, not even being the daughter of a wealthy white Southern woman could save her from society's expectations.But that's not a life Jane wants. Almost finished with her education at Miss Preston's School of Combat in Baltimore, Jane is set on returning to her Kentucky home and doesn't pay much mind to the politics of the eastern cities, with their talk of returning America to the glory of its days before the dead rose.But when families around Baltimore County begin to go missing, Jane is caught in the middle of a conspiracy, one that finds her in a desperate fight for her life against some powerful enemies. And the restless dead, it would seem, are the least of her problems."Abundant action, thoughtful worldbuilding, and a brave, smart, and skillfully drawn cast entertain as Ireland illustrates the ignorance and immorality of racial discrimination and examines the relationship between equality and freedom." (Publishers Weekly, "An Anti-Racist Children's and YA Reading List")

Declan's Day
Declan's got a very busy day. But don't worry, he's got plenty of imagination to see him through. He's CatBoy when he's racing around his trucks. It's Trunky, the elephant, who picks up his bagel. And Monkey buckles up in the car to go on adventures with Papa Gorilla. As they are whisked through the whimsy of Declan's Day, children will recognize and applaud Declan's vivid role play as he masters the day's tasks. Meanwhile, parents and caregivers will feel the tug to engage in their child's creativity, not simply playing pretend, but engaging in their child's world as it unfolds-alive and real to the child in that moment.
