Oh, Brother!

It's bad enough that Xavier's new stepbrother, Chris, has moved into Xavier's room, but now it looks like he's also trying to steal Mami by being the perfect kid.

Chris's "Mr. Perfect" act may fool grown-ups, but Xavier can see straight through it.

He promises himself that he'll never become real brothers with such a fake.

No brothers allowed!

Ever!

. . . right?

In twenty powerful poems, two strangers learn to become brothers. Nikki Grimes captures the struggles—and eventual sweetness—of bringing together a family.

Welcome, Precious
is the perfect book for baby, shower, and birth gifts

The world can be a dark and scary place these days. Yet we continue to welcome sweet, innocent babies into it. At the end of the day, what pure, good thing remains for us to share with our little ones? What of this life can we teach them to celebrate? Why, the glorious world of the senses, of course. From the "cool delight of ice cream" to the "glistening mystery of soap bubbles" to "spiced cider on the wind," there is much in the world to see and hear, taste and touch, and that's what Welcome, Precious will convey. Got a lap with a wee one in it? This is the book for them. Enjoy!
