We found the perfect book for those who don't want to celebrate Christmas before Thanksgiving and those who start celebrating Christmas on November 1! Turkey vs. Santa written by Todd Tarpley and illustrated by Giovanni Abeille is the fun new holiday book you'll be reading year after year! We enjoyed chatting with Todd and editor, Deirdre Jones about the book's journey!

There's something special about picture book biographies that are clever, smart, and beautifully crafted and She Sells Seashells: Mary Anning, an Unlikely Paleontologist written by Heidi E.Y. Stemple and illustrated by Emily Paik is one such book! We got tot chat with Heidi and her editor, the incredible Julie Bliven about the journey of this stellar biography.
