HOLLY-JOLLY KITTY CORN by Shannon Hale, illustrated by LeUyen Pham (On sale September 23; ISBN: 9781419768798; Ages 4-8)
This festive kitty-corn tale from bestselling team Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham is a cozy and heartwarming holiday story about the magic of true friendship. Kitty and Unicorn can’t wait to spend their first Christmas together! But try as they might, they can’t seem to agree on their favorite festivities. Is it the music, the gingerbread, or decorating the tree? Will the magical best friends pull off the perfect Christmas, or will all their plans come tip-timber-crashing down?
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR, LITTLE RED PANDA by Amanda Wood, illustrated by Bec Winnel and Vikki Chu (On sale January 6; ISBN: 9781419779671; Ages 1-5)
Join Little Red Panda as he learns about all the fun to be had on Chinese New Year with Nai Nai. What could top hanging up a glowing lantern, receiving a special red packet, and enjoying a bowl of long noodles? Listen! It’s dancing dragons stamping the ground. And look! There are fireworks lighting up the sky. It’s a Chinese New Year Little Red Panda and his grandmother will never forget. Watercolor illustrations paired with sweet photos of a real red panda bring the story to life on every page.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
