Tiny Garden: A Picture Book
by Deborah Underwood
On a street that covets big, showy gardens, Andrew sets out to grow his own tiny garden in this picture book about slowing down, appreciating the little things, and staying true to yourself. From bestselling, award-winning author Deborah Underwood and debut illustrator Jax Chow Andrew loves plants, but he's overwhelmed by the fancy plots in his neighborhood--too big, too tall, too much. With soil, seeds, water, and patience, Andrew's tiny garden blooms into a size his neighbors may not understand, but that's perfect for tiny leaves, tiny colors, and tiny visitors. Beloved author Deborah Underwood's ode to cultivating and caring for one small rectangle of the world, paired with Jax Chow's exquisite debut illustrations, is also about caring for oneself--and staying true to both, no matter what.

Unexpected Guests
by Mariajo Ilustrajo
Shortlisted for Illustrator of the Year at the British Book Awards 2025From the internationally best-selling author and illustrator, Mariajo Ilustrajo, comes an interactive page-turner of a picture book. Providing a playful, surprising twist on the classic unexpected guest premise, the narrative here is flipped, making humans the unexpected guests in a tale told by mice! The mice living happily under the floorboards of a house find their peace is disturbed by some unexpected guests . . . humans! The mice are curious about their guests and set out to investigate. They find weird and wonderful human objects and lots of food, so they decide their guests might not be so bad after all--until our intrepid mouse narrator finds himself caught in a jar! His friends try to save him but get caught too, and they fear the worst, but they're set free from the jar . . . and into a cardboard Mouse Land. The humans aren't so bad after all! But, for the final twist, the mice discover there is one last guest to deal with--and it's even worse than humans: a CAT!
