Cover reveal: Pine Cone Regrown illustrated by The Brave Union!

Written by Elisa Boxer and publishing from Sleeping Bear Press in March, this poetic story introduces readers to one of the serotinous tree species that can only grow anew when the seeds face fire.
One pine cone hangs waiting for 40 years at the top of a tall lodgepole pine, until a small spark flickers into flame. It watches as the flames whip into a forest fire, sending animals fleeing. It watches as the flames grow higher and hotter--until the pine cone cracks open. As the fire cools and dies, the pine cone finally drops its seeds into the soil. And from that destructive start, comes new life once more.

Discovering the many wonders of nature is a common theme in many of The Brave Union's picture book projects. Check out their portfolio for more: https://morgangaynin.com/artists/the-brave-union/ #

And, Too, the Fox, illustrated by and written by U.S. Poet Laureate , has received a Kirkus Starred Review!

The book is an adaptation of Limón’s poem about a day in the life of a fox. The poem pulses with the joyful energy of a fox bounding through backyards, piecing together a living in his own way. Paired with Gaby's lush illustrations, this picture book brings Limón’s work to a new generation.

From the review:
“The deceptively simple narrative follows the animal as he gambols across a field and wanders through wilderness and neighborhoods. Whimsical swirls of color suggesting that the fox has an almost magical quality… The wonder and reverence conveyed through the text and the fluidity of the illustrations result in a smooth and calming experience that will leave readers awed at the beauty of nature.”

Dani Pendergast was commissioned to illustrate key art for Tested, a 6-part series from NPR and CBC. Since the beginning of women's sports, there has been a struggle over who qualifies for the women's category. And, as we've learned from the controversies that came out of this year's Olympics – the struggle continues.

Tested follows the story of elite female runners who have been told they can no longer race as women because of their biology. The podcast traces the surprising, 100-year history of s*x testing.
