Dinah!: A Cat Adventure
(From a remarkable new talent, here is the story of Dinah,...)
From a remarkable new talent, here is the story of Dinah, a sheltered (and overfed) cat who escapes to have an adventure in the outside world. After being mistaken for a watermelon, a sheep, and a raccoon, Dinah finally recovers her identity as a beloved pet. Hilarious pictures complement the tongue-in-cheek text in this fresh, original picture book about family, belonging, and the meaning of home.

I Am Dodo: Not a True Story
(This tale of a unique bird, a lonely professor, and some ...)
This tale of a unique bird, a lonely professor, and some urban magic is both funny and touching. An unusually smart dodo has managed to escape extinction and is living happily in a big city. The city is also home to a professor, the only person who is sure that somewhere, somehow, a dodo is alive. A chance encounter turns these two into hunted and hunter: the professor wants to capture Dodo and show the scientific world that he was right but Dodo doesn’t want to live in a cage. How this standoff develops into a friendship, proving that indeed anything can happen in the big city, is told in Kae Nishimura’s fresh, original text and distinctively comic illustrations.

Bunny Lune
(A big-city rabbit named Bunny Lune wants more than anythi...)
A big-city rabbit named Bunny Lune wants more than anything to go to the moon. His friend Pyonko has told him about the Japanese tradition that rabbits live there. How can Bunny Lune manage this incredible trip? Weightlessness makes him feel queasy, and he can’t go for very long without breathing, no matter how hard he tries. Besides, he could never sell enough salad to afford the fare. But maybe there’s a way he can share tea and rice dumplings on the moon after all if he follows the advice of a seasoned traveler and fuels his efforts with creativity.
