A NOTE FROM MIKE BOLDT:
If you were to ask me to choose any author whose work I would want to illustrate, Robert
Munsch would be the first on my list. After all, my own love of reading and telling stories
was shaped by The Paper Bag Princess, Mortimer, Mud Puddle and countless other Munsch
stories. When I first started working in publishing, friends and family would ask me,
“When are you going to work on a Munsch book?”—as if it were an option. I would
explain that it was something I could only dream of doing. So when I received an email
from Scholastic inquiring about my availability to illustrate a story by Robert Munsch, I
had to read and re-read the email at least half a dozen times. Even now, it’s surreal for me
to think that this actually happened. It has been one of my greatest privileges to illustrate
a book by one of my heroes.

I love children’s books for many reasons, but at the apex of those reasons is their ability
to help young people imagine what the lives of others might be like. Imagination is the
engine of empathy, and if I believe that children’s books can effect social change in any
small way, it is in this. That they can model kindness, that they can widen a world view
that other systems seek to shrink, and in that widening call on us to deploy that kindness.
I think Phil’s writing is some of the kindest being written for children, and I’m obscenely
proud to have been allowed to help illuminate some of it.

Feathers
By Phil Cummings
Illustrated by Phil Lesnie
As a lone sandpiper’s feathers drift down from the sky during its long
flight, they shine a powerful light on the importance of kindness,
hope and security for the children below.
It is time for the sandpiper journey to its winter home, half a world away. Along ALSO AVAILABLE:
the arduous journey, it loses a feather which floats down and provides a glimmer
of softness and beauty for a young boy whose home has been reduced to rubble.
Another lost feather provides a playful, loving moment for a girl and her little
brother, migrants on a long dusty road to a better life. Yet another feather falls,
giving a family a moment of hope in their flooded out village. Finally arriving at
its winter home, the bird loses one more feather, grasped out of the air by a little
girl. Both bird and child are safe and sound in their cozy home by the water . . . and
realize how lucky they are.

The Good-Pie Party
By Liz Garton Scanlon
Illustrated by Kady MacDonald Denton
A sweet and delicious story about moving, illustrated by
award-winning artist Kady MacDonald Denton.
Posy, Megan and Mae have always been the best of friends — but now Posy has
to move away. The only thing that can comfort the girls is their favourite activity:
baking pie! And when they realize they can host a good-pie party instead of a good-
bye party, the sad situation becomes a sweet gathering for their entire community.
The Good-Pie Party celebrates good friends, good memories and the joy of a just-
right goodbye.
PRAISE FOR THE GOOD-PIE PARTY:
“It’s delightfully illustrated . . . I love a picture book that makes you feel
emotion, and this one is so humane and charming.”
—Michele Landsberg, CBC Radio
“A story that celebrates the bond of friendship while acknowledging
the reality of transition.”
—Publishers Weekly

The Very Cranky Bear
By Nick Bland
Moose, Lion, Zebra and Sheep take shelter in a cave on a cold and rainy day, only to
realize that a bear is there. The bear roars loudly and says that he is trying to sleep.
Not understanding why the bear is so cranky, the other animals come up with ways
to cheer him up. Moose finds antlers for him, Lion gives him a mane, and Zebra
paints on stripes. Is there anything the four well-meaning friends can do to help the
bear sleep?

As I began writing The Journey of Little Charlie, I thought I’d be telling the
story of a young man of African descent as he was captured in Canada by
an American slave catcher, but the story had other ideas. It was waylaid by
Photo Credit: Daniel Syphax Harris
Little Charlie Bobo, the son of a white sharecropper from South Carolina,
who finds himself accompanying that same slave catcher north, in pursuit
of “stolen property” that he soon discovers are other human beings.
The US Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 required African Americans, even
those living in “free” states, to provide documentation, upon request,
demonstrating that they were not escaped slaves. One of the many
consequences of this law was a migration of both free people of African
origin and those escaping slavery beyond the US border, into Canada,
where they received protection under Canadian law and were welcomed
with open arms in communities such as Buxton, Ontario.
As I listen to the radio and read the news today, I hear echoes of those
events 167 years ago, stories full of fear-fueled dramatic escapes with
swaddled babies and crying children and ice-covered fields – stories of
people seeking freedom. As a student of history, I believe this is the most
important thing writers can do in addition to entertaining our readers, we
can also point out that those who don’t remember the past, or choose to
ignore it, are condemned to live it again and again.

Supergifted
By Gordon Korman
NYT bestselling author Gordon Korman’s sequel to Ungifted
cleverly sends up our preconceived ideas about intelligence,
heroism and popularity!
Donovan Curtis has never been what anyone would call “gifted.” But his genius ALSO AVAILABLE:
friend Noah Youkilis is actually supergifted, with one of the highest IQs around.
After years at the Academy for Scholastic Distinction, all Noah dreams of is the
opportunity to fail if he wants to. And he’s landed in the perfect place to do it —
Donovan’s school.
Almost immediately, Noah finds himself on the wrong side of cheerleading captain
Megan Mercury and alpha jock Hash “Hashtag” Taggart. Sticking up for Noah lands
Donovan in the middle of a huge feud with Hashtag. He’s told to stay away from the
sports star — or else.
Ungifted
That should be the end of it, but when a freak incident suddenly makes Donovan a $8.99 PB • 978-1-4431-3349-4
hero, he can’t tell anyone about it since Hashtag is involved. So Noah steps in and
becomes “Superkid.” Now he’s gone from nerd to titan at school. And it may have
gone more than a little bit to his head.

series about a group of magical misfits.
Some people in school are afraid of the kids in the Upside-Down Magic class.
Others just call them flops. But Nory and her friends in Upside-Down Magic won’t

Except . . . Nory’s afraid her fluxing magic will go wonky and upset her father.
Pepper is worried that her abilities as a Fierce will make all the animals in the show
run wild. Bax has some extreme new magic skills, but they can also be extremely
embarrassing. And Elliott suspects there’s a Sparkie spy who’s looking to uncover
UDM’s talent-show secrets — and to use those secrets against them.
In order to take the stage and make some magic, the Upside-Down Magic kids are

Don’t Cosplay with My Heart
By Cecil Castellucci
A sweetly snarky, romantic YA novel full of crushes,
inner strength, and cosplay!
When Edan Kupferman dresses up like her favourite character, Gargantua, she feels
tall and powerful. That’s important right now, because her family is a mess, her best
friend is gone for the summer, her crush is confusing, and Edan’s feeling small and
not sure which end is up.
When Edan’s cosplaying, she can be angry, loud, and not the good girl everyone
thinks she is. And when she’s at conventions, she feels like she’s found her own
Team Tomorrow. But when her personal life starts to spiral out of control, Edan has
to figure out whether she needs a sidekick, or if she has the strength to be the hero
of her own story.

Whiteout
By W. C. Mack
Seventh-grader Steven White gets a crash course about popularity,
pro-snowboarding and the importance of telling the truth!
Seventh-grader Steven White’s family has just moved — again — this time to
Oregon. The upside is that there is lots of great snowboarding. But Steven dreads
having to start over in yet another new school. So he devises a scheme to instantly
ALSO AVAILABLE:
boost his popularity: he tells his classmates that he’s champion snowboarder Cody
White’s cousin and the friends will come to him.
Of course it’s only a matter of time before the White lie unravels, the kids shun
him, and Steven finds himself facing the worst, loneliest winter break ever. Then he
meets pro-snowboarder D-Day on the slopes. D-Day is hiding out after a disastrous
X-Games appearance.
Can D-Day show Steven that all he needs to do is be himself? And can Steven help
his hero get his mojo back?
