Embrace the changing seasons with this beautifully illustrated collection of folkore and myths of The North.

Have you ever wondered how snow came to be white?
Or why the elusive March hare hurries through the fields?

From joyous tales of renewal and transformation for Spring, to hushed stories for long Winter nights, each season has a particular spirit which is celebrated in folktales from across the northern climes.

In these magical retellings of classic folktales, we journey from snowy mountain peaks to wild forests and stormy coastlines, as we observe the moon phases, find folkloric treasures and meet an array of strange and mysterious creatures. We'll encounter sprites, trolls, mythic beasts and monsters - from the bramble boggle (a mischievous member of fairy folk who is said to have given blackberries their thorns) to the sea witches and selkies who roam the Northern shores.

Each folktale is accompanied by stunning bespoke artwork by the author, Morvern Graham, who is a multi-award-winning illustrator, printmaker and storyteller. Her work celebrates the natural landscape and blends the ancient tradition of aural storytelling with playful visual artistry.

Through the power of stories we can light up our minds with a wild, child-like wonder, and reconnect our hungry souls to the natural rhythms of the shifting seasons.

From Jennifer Welch, the host of the widely popular "I've Had It" podcast and a trusted voice in new media, comes a piercing, incisive, no-holds-barred take on the rising threat of theocracy in America and a fresh vision for how we can take back our country

As a progressive atheist from a Bible Belt red state, Jennifer Welch has a unique perspective on the intersection of religion and politics in America. She has seen how the far right has used religion across denominations to coalesce power--in the executive branch, on the courts, in Speaker Mike Johnson--and also how their messaging, particularly the Evangelical prosperity gospel, re-enforces economic inequality. We know about Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Oil, but we rarely talk about Big Church, which is tax exempt. In Not Today, Fascists Welch explores how America is moving not only towards fascism, but also theocracy. She points out the similarities between authoritarian religions and authoritarian governments. The former primes the psychological soil for the latter. While the separation of church and state is a fundamental principle of America, rogue actors and institutions are seeking to dismantle it. The stakes could not be higher.

Like Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny and Madeleine Albright's Fascism, Not Today Fascists will show readers how the separation of church and state is not only essential to our democracy, but fundamental to the protection of our human rights. Welch offers a warning about what can happen if we continue down this path, while advocating for a new way forward, a vision that centers human decency, structural equality and a populist economics perspective that is the only proven position to resonate across the aisle in a world of otherwise entrenched partisanship. Not Today, Fascists will arms readers with the language and facts they need to discuss crucial politics issues, to win elections and to take back our country.

Fiercely witty and sharply narrated, VESPER is an anti-romance literary novel about independence, love, and self-discovery through the eyes of consultant Vesper. Blending the cultural zeitgeist of Sex and the City with the philosophical depth of Milan Kundera, it's perfect for fans of Dolly Alderton, Sarah Rose Etter and Adelle Waldman. Vesper Elsegood is in love. With being single.She can't understand why any of her friends would want to settle down. Because if she's learnt anything about New York's ruthless dating scene, it's that love is an ever-changing concept, a silly game, and there are rarely any winners.But when Caspian walks into her life, an enigmatic and ambitious entrepreneur with a vision for launching a prestigious global prize to celebrate philosophical thinking, Vesper is momentarily undone. And as the chemistry between them intensifies, she soon finds herself re-examining everything--her relationships, her career, her ability to rewrite her own story. In this restless city, where everyone seems fixated on either finding themselves or finding their perfect match, Vesper must decide whether she's met the one she wasn't looking for, or if she's the only one she really needs...A bold and unapologetic observation of what it means to be a single woman in New York City, Marks' debut novel is equal parts emotional portrait, cultural inquiry, and contemporary coming-of-age--a story about subverting gender norms, dismantling inherited narratives, and choosing a life that is wholly one's own.

Being a mother and a teacher, I sometimes find myself having to do a lot of work just to get my children and students to smile. This is a story about a little boy who does not want to smile for pictures. He likes the straight line of his mouth because it looks like the trunk of a tree, the body of a butterfly, and the stick of a lollipop. He starts to get defeated when the reader points out that the branches of the trees, the wings of a butterfly, and the candy of the lollipop are all curved lines like a smile. He finally thinks he came up with the best thing that is ALL straight lines, a book, but discovers that he loves books and that they make him smile. In the end, he realizes that it feels really good to smile. This book contains beautiful hand painted illustrations that go along with the engaging text.

A rich collection of plant-based Ghanaian recipes and some of West Africa's singularly iconic dishes--from the beloved creator of Eat with Afia

Afia Amoako grew up in a kitchen that was never quiet, never empty, and never boring. Food, she understood from a young age, was the essence of her family's Ghanaian culture. It was represented in the red palm oil that colored their stews; it was pounded into the plantain and cassava-based fufu they ate with soups; and it shone through in the indigenous spices that flavored kebabs and so much more. So, when her family immigrated to North America and Afia found herself drawn to a plant-based lifestyle, she worried that her connection to her home country would be lost. But happily, as she immersed herself more in West Africa's culinary traditions, seeking to learn about and replicate the recipes she grew up on, food offered that connection to Ghana. In Eat with Afia, Afia assembles a warm and ever-comforting blend of recipes that pay homage to Ghanaian cuisine from a plant-based perspective.

Including stories of Ghanaian foodways, culture and family traditions, Eat with Afia is an irresistible invitation to explore with Afia as she cooks her way through Ghanaian classics and her favorite dishes. From quick bites like Kebab Mushrooms and Roasted Plantains to hearty meals like Groundnut Soup and Garden Egg Stew, and, of course, Afia's recipe for Jollof Rice, this is a collection of recipes to delight all of your senses. Bursting with vibrant photography, Eat with Afia is a heartfelt plant-based journey into an exciting cuisine.

From Azita Ardakani and acclaimed artist Rebecca Rebouché comes a timeless story about how everything comes to be--and how, in the making of the world, we are made by both stardust and one another.

Before there was the world we know, there was only silence and shimmer--a great dark ocean of matter and possibility. Ocean of Stars follows the unfolding of creation: light forming from fire, water gathering from stars, and life arising from their meeting--until the living world begins to know itself through us.

Told in lyrical prose and brought to life through Rebecca Rebouché's breathtaking illustrations, this picture book invites readers into a cosmic meditation on connection: how the stars became water, how water became life, and how all living things are threads in the same luminous web.

Part poem and part lullaby, Ocean of Stars offers children and adults alike a gentle way to contemplate existence--how every being, from the smallest seed to the farthest star, carries the memory of creation within. This is a story to be read aloud, wondered over, and kept close for a lifetime.

Ocean of Stars may be the biggest, little story ever told.

A rollicking, beautifully illustrated adventure through the history of the English language--from social media star Olivia Swarthout

English is, by many measures, the largest language in the world--and doubtless the unruliest. Over the last millennium, we've borrowed, stolen, conquered, and invented our way to a massive lexicon (a million words by some counts), filled with numerous untold stories.

Enter The Wordspotter's Guide, a delightful tour through our etymological past. Did you know that the term silhouette comes from 18th century French finance minister Etienne de Silhouette, whose austerity measures caused his name to be associated with any low-quality work, such as the black paper cutouts that were a cheaper alternative to traditional portraits? That the word unfriend actually dates to the 17th century? Or that robe and robbed share an etymological root, dating to a time when constructing clothing was so labor-intensive that it was the most valuable thing in most people's homes and thus likely to be stolen?

Olivia Swarthout tells a deeply-researched, authoritative story about the history of the English language--without losing sight of the fun. If you've ever wondered which meaning of cardinal came first (the direction, then the Church figure, then the bird) or lamented that we no longer give people names like John the Wifeless, Ralph the Haunted, and Hugh the Ass (all citizens of 11th century Britain), this is the book for you.

Fool's Gold gives you the money-making hindsight that accomplished angel investor Henry Fiorillo wished he had when he was first starting out.

Angel investing--putting your own money into early-stage startups in exchange for equity--is a high-risk, high-reward endeavor that blends entrepreneurship with speculation. While stories of striking it rich have glamorized the industry, the reality is that most startups fail, founders can dissemble, and investors are often left with tough lessons and empty pockets. Yet for those willing to learn--and to learn from the best--there is a shot at winning.

With over 60 years of real-world experience, Henry Fiorillo takes you behind the scenes of startup investing. He guides readers through a digestible series of lessons that blend evidence-based financial models and psychological theories with personal insights drawn from his own wins and losses. This book reveals what you truly need to evaluate when considering startup investments--and spoiler--it's not just the business idea. Fool's Gold shares lessons, red flags, and essential questions that other startup manuals hesitate to disclose; it's essential reading for anyone curious about angel investing or already in the game.

Avoid being blinded by the shimmer of FOMO, polished performers, or overconfidence that lead to fool's gold investments. Instead, take advice from an investor behind storied startups as he teaches you the fine art of losing money, so you can master the finer art of making it.

This isn't just a love story. It's a guide for every couple who wants more: More connection.

More joy. More of the love they dreamed about in the beginning.

Whether your relationship is thriving, struggling, or somewhere in between, Butterfly Love will help you rediscover the beauty of choosing each other again and again-with God at the center.

From New York Times bestselling mother-daughter duo Julie Andrews & Emma Walton Hamilton and bestselling illustrator Eva Byrne comes an empowering tale of finding your voice--starring a shy puppy who discovers the magic of music

Shy is the smallest and quietest pup at the shelter. The world feels big, loud, and a bit scary to her sweet and gentle soul.

But when a man with kind eyes brings her home, she feels safe with her new best friend--and keeps him company while he practices at his piano. Beautiful, unfamiliar sounds dance in the air when the piano man plays, and something inside her begins to stir. The piano man has an important performance ahead--but it may be a performance no one, especially the piano man, ever expected.

Inspired by Julie Andrews's real-life "singing" dog, this uplifting picture book invites readers to find their voice and share their talents with the world.
