New York City - do you want to attend a fun launch event for a middle-grade book featuring chess, siblings, and a very spoiled cat?🐈

From Jessie Janowitz, the author of The Doughnut Fix, comes another funny, heartfelt book about overcoming the fear of letting down the people you love and the amazing things that can come from a summer of nothing going your way.

Milo Bloom, chess prodigy, has a secret: he doesn’t want to play chess anymore. So he blows a major tournament on purpose instead of telling anyone. If no one knows he wants to quit, then no one can be disappointed.

The problem is, winning that tournament was a ticket to chess camp, and the loss means his summer plans are shot. Enter Roxie, a girl he’s never met, who shows up at his door to tell him he and his mom will be spending the summer at her house…what?

Surprise! Before Milo knows what’s hit him, he’s living at Roxie’s house, where creepy cats rule, meat products are banned, and Roxie, who doesn’t seem to understand the concept of personal space, won’t give him a second alone.

But when Milo and Roxie stumble across two people playing a fascinating game they’ve never seen before, they become determined to learn the ancient game of Go. Between late-night library adventures and creating a Go club at their camp, Milo and Roxie form an unexpected friendship, but none of that matters if Milo can’t face his fears and tell his mom how he really feels.

Holly Jolly! A High-Contrast Christmas Book
written by duopress, illustrated by Jannie Ho

When babies are first born, they can’t distinguish between colors the same way that older babies can. But studies show that babies can see high-contrast black-and-white shapes and patterns from the very first days of life, and this charming introduction to Christmas and the holiday season, paired with friendly text and bold, basic patterns, provides an important high-contrast experience for young developing eyes. Using simple greetings like, “What's going on, Christmas elf?,” “Looking jolly, Santa,” and “Ni hao, bright star,” alongside lovely black-and-white art by Jannie Ho (illustrator of Hello, My World), Holly Jolly! A High-Contrast Christmas Book is the perfect board book for babies just beginning to look around and learn about their world.

On the night of Christmas Eve, a family of bears settle down to sleep until Papa Bear is awakened by a racket outside. Polar bear Santa in a sleigh pulled by eight dog-deer bring festive commotion and joy to the class holiday tale.
