A Very Small Something
David Hickey
Illustrated by Alexander Griggs-Burr

Somewhere past the wrinkled maps, and under

another sun, where favourite earrings find new ears
and missing marbles run, the hillsides made
their marvelous shapes for a town called Covington—
And a great pink factory as long as the breeze
weighed truckfuls and truckfuls of bubblegum.

Olivia Bezzlebee lives by the sea in a fantastic town with the world’s biggest
bubblegum factory, where its citizens blow bubbles all day. But Olivia
can’t blow a single one and feels as if everyone looks down on her. Leaving
Covington to find a place where she might belong, she learns the true mean-
ings of family and home.
A Very Small Something, beautifully illustrated by Alexander Griggs-Burr, is a
story to which all children—and any tuned-in parent—will be able to relate.
Blowing bubbles may indeed be a very small something . . . but when you are
a small child and it’s the thing you most want to do, a bubble can mean the
whole world. JUVENILE NONFICTION / POETRY

can be an enriching experience for children, parents, and teachers alike, and the great news is it can
also be a lot of fun! Our catalog of bilingual books and activities is a constantly growing source of
materials that will help parents to reinforce their children’s language skills and instill a love of reading
in them from day one.

Easy Alphabet! / ¡Abecedario fácil!
Ana Gómez

Each alphabet flashcard in this stunning box contains a beautifully illustrated

letter on one side and an object representing that letter in both English and
Spanish on the other side. Printed on thick, sturdy artboard, these cards are
perfect for exploring little fingers and developing minds. The cards can be
used in a variety of ways to teach Spanish and English vocabulary, letter names,
and sounds to younger children, as well as to reinforce reading and spelling
skills in older children. A short guide for parents contains ideas for fun games
such as:
• “A” Is for Airplane: Show your child a letter card and ask him to name
all of the words he can think of that begin with that letter. Use the illus-
trated object on the back of the card to get him started.
• Letter Search: Spread out all of the letters on the floor and ask your
child to find the first letter of his name or any other favorite words.
The games increase in difficulty as children become more familiar with the
alphabet, providing hours and hours of interactive fun. This eye-catching al-
phabet kit is a great way to introduce children to the alphabet and languages.

Ana Gómez has a degree in fine arts and graphic design, and she has worked

The Blood Lie
A Novel
Shirley Reva Vernick

“Unfortunately, incidents like this aren’t relegated to the past. Blood libels
happen today and will continue to happen—if we allow it!”—Ilan Stavans

September 22, 1928, Massena, New York. Jack Pool’s sixteenth birthday.
He’s been restless lately, especially during this season of more-times-at-the-
synagogue than you can shake a stick at. If it wasn’t Rosh Hashanah, then it was
Yom Kippur, and if it wasn’t Yom Kippur, it was the Sabbath. But temple’s
good for some things. It gives him lots of time to daydream about a beauti-
ful but inaccessible Gentile girl named Emaline. And if she isn’t on his mind,
then he’s thinking about his music and imagining himself playing the cello
with the New York Philharmonic. Yup, music is definitely his ticket out of this
remote whistle-stop town—he doesn’t want to be stuck here one more min-
ute. But he doesn’t realize exactly how stuck he is until Emaline’s little sis-
ter Daisy goes missing and he and his family are accused of killing her for a
blood sacrifice.

Shirley Reva Vernick’s interviews and feature articles have appeared in

Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Ladies’ Home Journal, and national newspapers. She
also runs a popular storytelling website, StoryBee, which is used in schools JUVENILE FICTION
and libraries all over the world. Shirley grew up in the town where the blood September
libel happened, as did her father, whose family was directly victimized by it. 5½ x 8½ | 224 pp

The Coyote Under the Table /
El coyote debajo de la mesa
Folk Tales Told in Spanish and English
Joe Hayes
Illustrations by Antonio Castro L.

What happens when an old dog, sitting at the dinner table with his master,
slides a whole leg of lamb, a big bowl of posole, a stack of tortillas, and a bottle
of wine to a coyote, who just happens to be under the table? A whole ruckus,
that’s what!
But that’s nothing compared to some of the other wild and wonderful
folktales gathered by author Joe Hayes in this bilingual edition of The Coyote
Under the Table. Like his signature collection The Day It Snowed Tortillas, this book is
full of lively characters and laugh-out-loud stories. There’s a trio of unsuit-
able suitors who court a clever young girl and end up being scared out of their
wits one midnight in a haunted church. And a greedy man who learns his les-
son on a day when he couldn’t stop dancing. And a spotted cat who is actually
a guardian angel in disguise.

Joe Hayes is a nationally recognized author and storyteller. Joe lives in Santa
Fe, New Mexico, and travels extensively throughout the United States, visiting
schools and storytelling festivals.

JUVENILE FICTION Antonio Castro L. was born in Zacatecas, Mexico. He has illustrated doz-

A seafaring adventure! A storm! Giant turtles! Glowing slugs! A tale of excite-

ment and surprise, Rooster’s Revenge, which follows both the acclaimed book The
Chicken Thief and Fox and Hen Together, is sure to delight!
Together with Bear and Rabbit, the disappointed Rooster is making his way
home over the sea when a terrific storm hits. After running aground in the
storm, the trio finds themselves in a strange cave. Rooster notices a mysteri-
ous glowing ball. What kind of a ball is it? Will it lead them to safety or to more
trouble? And will the friends ever find their way home?
This richly funny illustrated offering from Béatrice Rodriguez is full of en-
chantment. It’s also a surprising guide to mending a broken heart.
Rooster’s Revenge is the third title in our Fox and Hen series and the fourth in

Praise for Blexbolex’s Seasons:
“This thick volume is both beautiful and intriguing—artist’s portfolio, con-
cept book, and word book rolled into one.”—The Horn Book Magazine
Mother and father, dancers and warriors, gardener and farmer, hypnotist
and genie. . . . All sorts of people appear in People, linked together in ways
that begin to emerge page after page. Real, mythic, and imaginary types in-
habit this extraordinary, gorgeously rendered world, referring to each other
through form and function. Like Blexbolex’s earlier book Seasons, this is a con-
ceptual book, where the connections between the images are both clear and
subtle.
Stunningly illustrated with retro-looking silkscreened images, People is a
sumptuously produced volume, with a lavishly illustrated jacket that folds out
into a poster. The manner of the realization and the quality of the book are so
strong that People (as did Seasons) serves to reminds us once again what a book
can be at its very best.
Seasons was a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of 2010 and a Best Book of the
Year for School Library Journal.
Blexbolex lives in Leipzig, Germany. He is an enormously talented silkscreen
artist who has large followings in the worlds of comics, art, and children’s
books. His book Seasons was a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of 2010 and
his book People won the Golden Letter Award in 2009 for Best Book Design
throughout the world.
Winner of the Golden Letter Award for Best Book Design from all

Pomelo Begins to Grow
Ramona Badescu and Benjamin Chaud

What happens as a little one begins to grow? Do parts of the body grow un-

maybe even worry a little too. Pomelo Begins to Grow explores this rich material
with playfulness and humor, without undercutting the importance of the
questions.

Kangaroo for Christmas
James Flora

The day before Christmas, Kathryn’s present from Uncle Dingo arrives in a
big box. Naturally, it’s a lively kangaroo. Kathryn can’t wait to show grandma,
so she hops onto Adelaide’s back and off they go!
But getting to Grandma’s proves more difficult than expected. Honking
horns and screeching breaks frighten Adelaide into taking off on her own. In
good James Flora fashion, chaos and pure silliness ensue. When Kathryn and
Adelaide finally arrive at Grandma’s house, a very cool and collected Grandma
sees there’s nothing to be done but to get them home as swiftly as possible.
A rumpus of a read, Kangaroo for Christmas is a merry Christmas tall tale full of
witty illustrations that are sure to draw laughs and hoots of pleasure.

James Flora (1914–1998) was a famous commercial artist from the 1940s
through the 1980s. He wrote and illustrated seventeen picture books. This is
the second Flora title to be brought back into print by Enchanted Lion Books.

Horace’s Big Hat
Judy Palaferro

What did you want to be when you grew up? Colorful and fun, this charm-
ing book introduces children to a range of professions, each of which Horace
tries his hand at in a special big hat—be it a red fireman’s helmet, giant baker’s
hat, purple circus top hat, or an artist’s beret. Whimsical illustrations bring
young readers into Horace’s world of imagination. Great for children who are
learning to read.

Judy Palaferro’s stylized illustrations have their roots in both her teenage ad-
miration for rock and roll album covers and the 1980s New York art scene.
Palaferro has worked as a print and web designer and as a book buyer in a
Colorado toy store, where she began developing artistically with inspira-
tion from Arthur Ransome, Roald Dahl, and teddy bears. Upon returning to
New York, Palaferro’s fascination with illustration flourished for eight years
while she worked as a children’s graphic artist and textile designer in the fash-
ion industry. Horace’s Big Hat displays her beautiful sense of bright and pleasing
aesthetics and her love for imagination and children’s art. Her first book, Color
Bears, was published by Umbrage Editions in 2010. JUVENILE FICTION
