Adapted from David Barrie's award-winning Supernavigators, this wonderful young reader's edition spotlights over a dozen animals and how they get to places. How do animals find their way? How does a bird leave its nest to find food? How does a humpback whale follow an arrow-straight course while it crosses an entire ocean? How does an Arctic tern travel 56,000 miles a year without getting lost? We know some things about how animals accomplish these remarkable feats of navigation. Monarch butterflies travel from Canada to Mexico by orienting to the sun. It's the light from the Milky Way that steers dung beetles. Then, there are animals like moths and sea turtles that are guided by Earth's magnetic field. In this Nautilus Award-winning adaptation, young readers learn about the amazing navigational capabilities of animals and recent discoveries that enhance our understanding, although fascinating mysteries remain. David Barrie draws on the expertise of animal behaviorists and the research of Nobel Prize-winning scientists to bring us up to date on the cutting edge of animal intelligence.

"Shows us in a very cheerful and moving manner how, when, and under what circumstances Tolstoy shed his tears, thus challenging one of the most common gender stereotypes." —Andrei Zorin, Professor and Chair of Russian at the University of Oxford, Author of Leo Tolstoy "This biography, which is structured like an illustrated listicle, looks at all the ways the Russian novelist’s vulnerability countered masculine norms of his era." —Publishers Weekly A graphic novel about one of the greatest Russian writers, this unique and extremely compelling overview of Leo Tolstoy imparts meaningful insights into life, literature, and love.Leo Tolstoy, Russian writer, is best known for his novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1878). Although the world's greatest novelist was a courageous man, his heart responded with pain and excitement to almost everything—whether poems and prose by fellow writers or hunger in the surrounding villages, not to mention family affairs. By his example, Leo Tolstoy showed that boys do cry, can express their feelings, nurture others, and embrace everything they love. Through the crystal prism of tears, Katya Gushchina shows us a multifaceted world in which Leo Tolstoy created his groundbreaking novels and made a difference in the world using intelligence and kindness, instead of aggression and force.

"My final pleasure of the summer" —Hanna Rosin, The Atlantic "For the discerning gift-giver" —Pub West "Conveys all you needed (and perhaps never needed to know) about worms"—The Huffington Post A wildly original, whimsical, humorous exploration of the human condition told through a worm’s eye view; a masterful pairing of the author’s artwork and ironic text in more than 250 illustrated pages. This innovative, ironic, and metaphoric exploration of the life of worms is a stunning showcase of Noemi Vola’s impressive and versatile talents as both an illustrator and a writer. Her funny, clever illustrations are paired with pithy, ironic text that conveys all you ever needed (and perhaps never needed) to know about worms. Beginning with “factual” material about worms in general, from eating habits to underground habitats to its varying shades of pink, there is much to discover about worms. The narrative then follows one worm in particular through a tragic loss of its better half (also known as the worm’s tail), becoming a metaphor for all who have loved and lost. The humor of both illustrations and text are paired beautifully, introducing a distinctive new artist with honed literary sensibility to the American audience. Vola’s pink-edged bible of worms
