They Drew as They PleasedThe Hidden Art of Disney’s Musical Years: The 1940s—Part I
By Didier Ghez • Foreword by John Musker
The 1940s ushered in an era of musical experimentation
and innovation at the Walt Disney Studios. Artists from all

and their groundbreaking styles influenced such classics asDumbo and Bambi as well as shaped the masterpieces that
followed such as Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. For
this volume, author Didier Ghez has unearthed hundreds of
enchanting images—from early sketches to polished con-
cepts for iconic features—by five exceptional artists who
defined the style of the Studio’s animation during this period
of unbridled creativity. With evocative descriptions and
excerpts from the artists’ journals and autobiographies, this
magnificent collection offers a rare look at the visionaries
who breathed life into some of the most beloved films of
our time.

Welcome to the Club100 Parenting Milestones You Never Saw Coming
By Raquel D’Apice
From the comedian behind the popular parenting blog
The Ugly Volvo comes a refreshing spin on the baby mile-
stone book. Instead of a place to lovingly capture the first
time baby sleeps through the night, this book shows whatit’s like the first time baby rolls off the bed/sofa/changing
table, leaving mum or dad in a state of pure terror (it
happens). These 100 rarely documented but all-too-realistic
milestones—such as “First Time Baby Says a Word You
Didn’t Want Her to Say”—provide comfort, solidarity, and
comic relief for new parents. Laugh-out-loud relatable text
and distinctive paper-cut illustrations of these “bad” parent-
ing moments make this a must-have book for anyone enter-
ing the mysterious club of parenthood.

Safari as a Way of LifeA Visual Biography of Dan Eldon • By Jennifer New
When he lost his life at age 22 while on assignment in

he crafted a philosophy of curiosity, creativity, and charity.
Showcasing personal letters, snapshots, and artwork from
his acclaimed journals, this teen-appropriate visual biogra-
phy takes young readers on a profound, impactful journey
through Dan’s life and beyond.

Picture ThisHow Pictures Work • Revised and Expanded
25th Anniversary Edition • By Molly Bang
Molly Bang’s brilliant, insightful, and accessible treatise is
now revised and expanded for its 25th anniversary. Bang’s
powerful ideas—about how the visual composition of images
works to engage the emotions, and how the elements of anartwork can give it the power to tell a story—remain unpar-
alleled in their simplicity and genius. Why are diagonals
dramatic? Why are curves calming? Why does red feel hot
and blue feel cold? First published in 1991, Picture This
has changed the way artists, illustrators, reviewers, critics,
and readers look at and understand art.
Molly Bang has authored and illustrated more than three dozen
books and has won three Caldecott Honors, a Kate Greenaway
Honor, and a Charlotte Zolotow Award, among other accolades, in

When an Elephant Falls in LoveBy Davide Cali • Illustrated by A lice Lotti
From the bestselling author of I Didn’t Do My Homework
Because... comes an irresistible meditation on the quest
for connection. When an elephant falls in love, he does
many foolish things. He hides when the elephant-object of
his affection is around. He writes dozens of letters that hewill never send. And he tries to be healthy, but ends up
finishing the cheesecake. This soulful book is at once relat-
able and revealing, a reminder that love is worth striving for,
and that the very best things in life will come to those who
wait.
Davide Cali is an author, illustrator, and cartoonist based in
France and Italy who has published more than 40 books,
including I Didn’t Do My Homework Because . . . and A Funny
Thing Happened on the Way to School. . . .
Alice Lotti is an illustrator and graphic designer.

First SnowBy Bomi Park
Look out. Now look up. From the sky one flake falls, then
another. And just like that—it’s snowing.
In this beautiful book from debut creator Bomi Park, a
young girl wakes up to the year’s first snowy day. From her
initial glimpse out the window to her poignant adventures—
rolling a snowman, making snow angels—the girl’s quiet
quests are ones all young readers will recognise. Simple,
muted text and exquisite, evocative art conjure the excite-
ment of a day spent exploring the wonder of snow—and
the magic that, sometimes l iterally, such a day brings.
As subtly joyful as a snow day itself, this book will find its
home in the hearts of young adventurers everywhere.
Bomi Park discovered drawing was a perfect way to communicate
love to her family and friends. First Snow is her debut book.

How to Be a HeroBy Florence Parry Heide • Illustrated by Chuck Groenink
Once upon a time, there was a nice boy and his name was
Gideon. He lived in a nice house, and he had nice parents
and lots of toys. But Gideon wasn’t satisfied. He wanted to
be a hero. You know, a hero, with his name on the front page
of the newspaper. That sort of thing. So how does anyoneget to be a hero, anyway? Heroes have to be strong. Heroes
have to be brave. Heroes have to be clever. Don’t they?
With wry humour, Florence Parry Heide and Chuck Groen-
ink explore how we choose our idols in a witty story that
leaves it to readers to decide the real nature of heroism.
Florence Parry Heide is the author of many acclaimed books,
including The Shrinking of Treehorn, which was illustrated by
Edward Gorey. She passed away in 2011.
Chuck Groenink is an illustrator who lives with his wife and their

They All Saw a CatBy Brendan Wenzel
Introducing a remarkable new talent on the picture book
scene. In simple, rhythmic prose and ingenious pictures,
Brendan Wenzel takes readers on an imaginary walk along-
side a cat. But while the child sees a cat that is soft and
fuzzy, the dog sees a cat that is long and skinny and scratchy,and the fox sees a cat that is mouthwateringly plump. Each
creature who meets the cat experiences something different,
making the reader wonder: is this really a story about a cat,
or is it about how others seem to see it? A glorious celebra-
tion of observation, curiosity, and perspective, They All Saw
a Cat invites discussion, delight, and immediate re-reads—
an instant classic.
Brendan Wenzel is a graduate of the Pratt Institute and his work
has appeared internationally in children’s books, animations, and
magazines. They All Saw a Cat is his debut as both author and
illustrator.

Cozy ClassicsBy Jack and Holman Wang
The Cozy Classics series is the brainchild of two brothers,
both dads, who were thinking of ways to teach words to
their very young children. They hit upon the classics as the
basis for their infant primers, and the rest, as they say, is
history. Every classic book in the series is condensed totwelve child-friendly words—accompanied by beautiful
hand-felted scenes—that accurately and humorously sum-
marise each book’s plot. Here are some of the Great Books
of Western Literature for toddlers and their parents in board
book form—a little bit serious, a little bit ironic, entirely
funny and clever, and always a welcome gif t.
Jack and Holman Wang are twin brothers who created the Cozy
Classics series together. As well as being the creators of the Star
Wars Epic Yarns board books, Jack is a professor of writing and
Holman, a former middle school teacher, is an artist and author.

Who What Where?By Olivier Tallec
In this charming follow-up to 2015’s hit Who Done It?, each
page asks the reader a question about the lineup of char-
acters featured on the spread. Sharp eyes and keen obser-
vation are necessary. There’s only one right answer, and it’s
not always easy! Kids will love learning early concepts likeexpressions and positions as a natural consequence of
their hunt for clues in the details of the lineup. It’s a book
for all audiences: the seek-and-find call to action of every
page makes Who What Where? a wonderful lap or parent
read, while the whimsical art, distinctive horizontal format,
and hip exposed board ensures this book will be equally
appealing as coffee table décor.

Appliqués Duperré in Paris. His work has appeared in many
newspapers and magazines, and he has illustrated more than
60 books for children.

One MinuteBy Somin Ahn
In one minute, you can blink your eyes twenty times,
hug your dog, plant seeds, say good-bye, watch the
rain, or even save a life. So much can occur in this
sliver of time—one minute can feel like a singular expe-
rience. This poignant picture book is at once an intro-duction to time for young readers, an ode to living each
moment with purpose, and a thoughtful exploration of
how children experience one minute (may it seem short
or long) playfully, profoundly, and with a boundless
sense of possibility.
Somin Ahn is an author and illustrator. This is her first book.
