One of Literary Hub's Most Anticipated Books of 2026

A deeply moving, continuously surprising meditation on loss, time, psychology, and numerology in this genre-defying blend of memoir, poetry, and history from Grief Girl author Erin Vincent.

When Erin Vincent was fourteen years old, both of her parents were killed in a traffic accident. Almost forty years later, the number 14 began haunting Erin, appearing everywhere--in the books she was reading, in films, TV shows, and on the news.
The repetition felt significant, so Erin began to explore the number beyond her personal understanding. The result is Fourteen Ways of Looking, a memoir of magisterial fractals and a profound reflection on grief, memory, the creative process, and the patterns and symbols all around us.

A celebration of baby's first-year milestones with playful sliders, lift-the-flaps, and touch-and-feel textures. Written and designed with the pediatric experts at Mayo Clinic.

Let's Move! is a joyful celebration of the incredible growth that happens in a baby's first year. Co-written by Mayo Clinic pediatrician Dr. Angela Mattke, this interactive board book is designed to support both babies and their grownups. With fun interactive features, each page encourages movement, exploration, and bonding--while gently guiding parents through key developmental milestones from 6 to 12 months.

Milestones featured in the book include:

• Smiling at the sound of a familiar voice
• Using simple signs (e.g., "milk," "all done")
• Playing peek-a-boo
• Crawling
• Pulling to stand
• Using a pincer grip
• Engaging in social play
• Expressing with exclamations like "uh-oh!"

Let's Move! highlights the wonder of early childhood development in a reassuring, joyful way. Expert insights help caregivers understand what to expect, while also emphasizing that every child grows at their own pace--and that's something to celebrate.

Backed by trusted Mayo Clinic expertise, the Healthy Milestones series combines playful sliders, lift-the-flaps, and touch-and-feel textures to support early learning and connection. These interactive board books turn everyday moments into opportunities for exploration, language, movement, and bonding between little ones and their grownups.

Mayo Clinic Press Kids creates empowering health and wellness content in partnership with pediatric experts. Proceeds from the sale of every book go to benefit important medical research and education and Mayo Clinic.

With today's market plagued by economic uncertainty, companies need to cut out anything slowing them down. The ability to tackle issues head-on isn't just nice to have anymore--it's your competitive advantage when things get tough.

The biggest epidemic plaguing businesses today is the failure to solve issues quickly and permanently. Most companies get stuck in endless meetings that rehash the same problems without resolution, creating a culture of frustration and stagnation.

Issues reveals the cure: a proven system used by tens of thousands of businesses to remove friction, fast-track growth, and ignite greatness. Authors Mark O'Donnell, Sue Hawkes, and Jill Young show you how to revolutionize your organization by:

• Mastering two essential tools to systematically tackle any business challenge, idea, opportunity, or obstacle
• Building a high-trust culture and understanding how to create psychological safety where teams can openly debate and challenge ideas without taking things personally, leading to better decisions
• Getting to the root of problems fast and solving what's really causing friction instead of just treating the symptoms
• Transforming meeting culture to turn boring, circular meetings into productive 90-minute meetings that consistently solve 5-15 issues per week
• Empowering every team member to be a problem-solving expert, creating leaders at every level

Built on the foundation of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), this methodology has helped leadership teams find quick solutions to every problem that arises. You'll learn to build a culture of openness and honest accountability, where teams attack problems together instead of hiding from them.

Stop letting the same issues drain your energy and profits. Great companies solve issues as they arise and make them disappear forever, and this book shows you exactly how to become one of them. Your path from chaos to clarity starts here.

Positioning Alice Neel as a champion of civil rights, this book explores how her paintings convey her humanist politics and capture the humanity, strength, and vulnerability of her subjects

"One of the most ambitious and thorough collections of Neel's work to date."--Allison Schaller, Vanity Fair

"For me, people come first," Alice Neel (1900-1984) declared in 1950. "I have tried to assert the dignity and eternal importance of the human being." This ambitious publication surveys Neel's nearly 70-year career through the lens of her radical humanism. Remarkable portraits of victims of the Great Depression, fellow residents of Spanish Harlem, leaders of political organizations, queer artists, visibly pregnant women, and members of New York's global diaspora reveal that Neel viewed humanism as both a political and philosophical ideal. In addition to these paintings of famous and unknown sitters, the more than 100 works highlighted include Neel's emotionally charged cityscapes and still lifes as well as the artist's erotic pastels and watercolors. Essays tackle Neel's portrayal of LGBTQ subjects; her unique aesthetic language, which merged abstraction and figuration; and her commitment to progressive politics, civil rights, feminism, and racial diversity. The authors also explore Neel's highly personal preoccupations with death, illness, and motherhood while reasserting her place in the broader cultural history of the 20th century.

This publication explores the rich intersections of portraiture and fashion in the art of the English painter Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788), one of the most sought-after society portraitists of his age and a continued inspiration today.

Gainsborough, whose importance was akin to that of later society artist John Singer Sargent, made hundreds of portraits, becoming one of the leaders of the fledging British School of artists. Very much a part of the social dynamic of the time, portraiture is described as a "means by which artists and their subjects could reinforce, resist, or break rules of social order." The engrossing text examines how fashion was understood, often in complex ways, in Gainsborough's time; how the artist would sometimes revisit a portrait to update a style; and how the documentation of both sitter and garment can be deciphered centuries after the creation of a work. Entries are provided on each of the twenty-five works in the exhibition that the catalogue accompanies.

The book explores how and why Gainsborough and his sitters chose the trappings in which they would be immortalized in paint. From dukes and duchesses to the once-enslaved Ignatius Sancho, Gainsborough captured the essence of his contemporaries. A century after Gainsborough's death, his portraits experienced renewed popularity among wealthy American collectors such as the Fricks, Vanderbilts, and Huntingtons, who coveted his works for their private collections. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of Gainsborough's oeuvre and his time, and is an invaluable resource for understanding the longstanding appeal of eighteenth-century art.

Fictional popstars and their fans -- in tales of love and dangerous obsession -- inspired by 2000's icons. Collins created two fictional music groups exclusively for this publication. Collins pulls themes of identity and mental health through this compellingly realistic but narrative fiction.

This book is a cinematic journey of the performers as seen through the eyes of their fans and stalkers, images of performances, rescues, and confrontations, interspersed with letters, conversations, and diary entries. The five chapters follow Ashley, a solo star, and Siren8, a teen idol group designed for bubblegum appeal. Ashley, once a quiet artistic student, is discovered at a school performance and pushed into pop stardom. She starts sincere and gentle, but fame twists her identity. Manipulated, isolated, and disassociated, she becomes a ghostlike figure to those who knew her before disappearing under mysterious circumstances. Siren8 contrasts with Ashley's "dreamy-girl-next-door" image. They tour with Ashley before an unexplained falling-out. Vuyu, Ashley's quiet, protective best friend, knew the real Ashley and reappears in anonymous forums to correct misinformation. Momo, a hardcore Ashley fan and obsessive researcher who created a viral timeline thread that's a monument to Ashley's erasure. B, a loner at Ashley's school, fixates on Ashley as a symbol of truth. She writes dozens of letters, convinced she's protecting Ashley, an obsession that slowly turns violent.

The gloves themselves are the stars in this rich history of baseball's most memorable fielding moments, as curated from Rawlings's unmatched collection.

Highlighting fifty gloves as touchstones of baseball's most storied players and plays, this book pairs a gallery of sumptuous glove photography with essays to place each glove into its historical context. The treasury also features archival photos of the players, period advertisements, and other memorabilia.

Baseball's history comes to life with famous gloves and famous moments. They include Christy Mathewson's game used glove from the National Baseball Hall of Fame's collection illustrating the model worn during the greatest pitching performance in World Series history in 1905; Jackie Robinson's model glove worn during the years he broke baseball's segregation barrier in 1947; and the model like Mickey Mantle wore in 1956 while making the catch to preserve the only World Series perfect game. Other gloves are immediately connected to plays so famous they have their own monikers: Willie Mays's "The Catch," Derek Jeter's "The Flip," and Ken Griffey Jr.'s "The Wall Banger."

Throughout the book--which features every Gold Glove Award winner--are quotes from players and vignettes calling out special moments.

This book will be compelling to fans, players, historians, and collectors. Students of the game, from all generations, will now truly own a piece of baseball's rich history.

Cottage gardens never go out of style, and the rise of homesteading and "cottagecore" is leading to a resurgence of this charming and practical style.

Beloved for their informality, cottage gardens champion organic and unstructured spaces overflowing with textures and colors while welcoming self-sown plants and bulbs popping up and spreading on their own. Appearing casual, everything is done with great intent.

From humble origins in medieval England and Colonial America, this style arose as a practical approach--ornamentals and edibles intermingling and supporting each other--before being elevated by great garden designers Gertrude Jekyll, William Robinson, Vita Sackville-West, Margery Fish, and Rosemary Verey. Today, concerns about food traceability, reducing waste and chemical use, and supporting pollinators and wildlife have rekindled interest in cottage gardening.

Taking a 360-degree view, this book covers plant combinations, paths and walls, water features and extending the season, as well as promoting traditional, organic practices such as composting, rain harvesting, and succession planting.

The first publication to focus on a rarely seen series of jazz-infused collages that explore the African American experience and the artist's lifelong relationship to jazz music, by one of the most important and influential visual artists of the twentieth century.

Bearden (1911-1988) was a prominent African American artist often described as the consummate jazz painter, known for his innovative collages that explored themes of Black American culture, history, and personal experiences. This publication reexamines Bearden's life and work in the context of jazz, tracing the musician's impact from the artists' earliest oil paintings to his iconic collages.

In 1981, Bearden created nineteen collages that the artist called his "Paris Blues," or simply "Jazz," series. Conceived as pages for an oversized book that would be a response to the Hollywood movie Paris Blues (1961)--though featuring Harlem and New Orleans along with Paris--the series has been little known until now. Here the wildly colorful illustrations are set alongside Bearden's encounters with iconic jazz musicians, clubs, and cities. Examined for the first time in depth, the Paris Blues series makes a major statement on the relationships between visual art, jazz music, and urban spaces. The book also includes poignant photographs of Bearden and musicians in the 1950s-70s, such as Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong.
