Dear Friends, This year represents another milestone for LEE & LOW BOOKS. With the addition of Childrens Book Press (CBP) as our latest imprint, 2012 officially became a building year for the company. What does this mean? First, we established relationships with CBPs talented authors and illustrators to assure them that the future of their books was a priority. Second, the inventory of CBP was vastly depleted, so gradually replenishing stock of popular titles was crucial. Third, inserting the CBP titles into our website and catalog was necessarya time consuming but rewarding task. And fourth, there were a host of other little details to attend to that are too numerous to list here. As of this writing, we have accomplished all of these things to varying degrees, and we are continuing to work diligently to bring CBP into the Lee & Low family. It has been an exciting year so far and we are proud to reintroduce a collection of Childrens Book Press titles to our customers. Look for the CBP icon on pages 1436 to see whats available. The stars have been shining for some of our new releases. It Jes Happened: When Bill Traylor Started to Draw, one of our 2005 New Voices Award Honor winners, was published this spring, along with Auntie Yangs Great Soybean Picnic. Both books have received rave reviews, including starred reviews from Booklist, School Library Journal, and Kirkus! See the facing page for more award news. Our Tu Books imprint continues to tackle the big ideas and what ifs for which science fiction and fantasy are known. Vodnk, by first-time novelist Bryce Moore, takes place in Slovakia and conjures a world where creatures like fire vilas, water ghosts, and Death herself can hold serious grudges, making things extremely uncomfortable for a Roma teenager who gets on their bad side. Cat Girls Day Off, by Kimberly Pauley (Sucks to Be Me), imagines a world where people are born with special Talents, which is great for some, but not for Asian American teen Natalie, whose Talent is the ability to talk to and understand cats. By the time you read this, we will be on the verge of welcoming more new books into the world (see page 10 for a sneak peek). And while our work never slows, we must also stop and take a moment to thank all of you for supporting our mission of publishing diverse books for children. The importance of our mission has not lessened over the years. It has, in fact, grown even more relevant as our country and the world continue to evolve ethnically and ponder issues of race. Our passion for creating opportunities for all children to see themselves in the pages of books is as strong as ever, and our enthusiasm for stories about all of us never grows old.

hot fields. When slavery ended, Bills family stayed on the farm as sharecroppers. There Bill grew to manhood, raised his own family, and cared for the land and his animals. By 1935 Bill was eighty-one and all alone on his farm. So he packed his bag and moved to Montgomery, the capital of Alabama. Lonely and poor, he wandered the busy downtown streets. But deep within himself Bill had a reservoir of memories of working and living on the land, and soon those memories blossomed into pictures. Bill began to draw people, places, and animals from his earlier life, as well as scenes of the city around him. Today Bill Traylor is considered to be one of the most important self-taught American folk artists. Winner of Lee & Lows New Voices Award Honor, It Jes Happened is a lively tribute to this man who has enriched the world with more than twelve hundred warm, energetic, and often humorous pictures.

BILL WISE is the author of Lee & Lows Louis Sockalexis: Native American Baseball Pioneer, winner of the Carter G. Woodson Book Award and the Childrens Book Award from the International Reading Association. An avid baseball fan, Wise first heard about William Hoy when he was a child. Years later, after further research, Wise was inspired to bring Hoys remarkable story to young readers. In addition to writing books, Wise teaches eighth-grade math and language arts. He and his family live in Gorham, Maine. ADAM GUSTAVSON has illustrated more than twenty highly praised books for children, among them The Yankee at the Seder, recipient of a Sydney Taylor Book Award Honor. In spite of his lack of baseball-playing skill, Gustavson enthusiastically embraced William Hoys story and spent months researching baseball rules, uniforms, and stadiums in use during Hoys lifetime. Gustavson is also a part-time art educator at the college level. He lives in West Orange, New Jersey, with his wife and their two sons.
in the major leagues. Fulfilling this dream, a far-off fantasy for many boys, was even more of a long shot for William, who was deaf. Striving to find his place in a hearing world, Hoy became a shoemaker. He took pride in his work, but baseball was still his real love. When an amateur team coach saw him playing behind the shoemakers shop, Hoy dazzled the coach with his hard-hitting skills. Moving from amateur clubs to the minor leagues and eventually to the majors, Hoy proved himself again and again overcoming obstacles and becoming a star both on and off the baseball diamond. Silent Star: The Story of Deaf Major Leaguer William Hoy is a tribute to one of the most inspirational figures in baseball history. A talented player with a standout record, Hoy is a shining example that success in life should not be measured by differences but by drive and determination.
