HOW JELLY ROLL MORTON INVENTED JAZZ by Jonah Winter, illus. by Keith Mallett
Horn Book, May/June 2015 issue

Publishers Weekly, March 26, 2015: “‘Special Delivery’ Promotion Has Readers Putting Their Own Stamp on Things”
“The prompt, and the tale of Sadie’s own special delivery, unleashed kids’ creativity. At Hillsdale Elementary School in Pennsylvania’s West Chester Area School District, one student wanted to mail himself so that he’d have a chance to travel, and another fantasized about sending an automaton to a surgeon to help in the operating room.”
WATER IS WATER: A Book about the Water Cycle by Miranda Paul, illus. by Jason Chin
Horn Book, May/June 2015 issue
“Text and illustrations evince an infectious joy in nature, in which readers are encouraged to take part, and visual depictions of nature and childhood alike are breathtakingly in their vibrant color, sense of motion, and wealth of detail.”

BookPage, April 2015 issue: “Dear Hank Williams: A Legendary Pen Pal”
“As we learn our letter-writing heroine’s greatest secret of all, this seemingly gentle novel about a ‘simpler’ time and place is packed with plenty of punch, all deftly handled by a writer who writes like Hank Williams sang—with heart and understanding.”

PRINCESS DECOMPOSIA AND COUNT SPATULA by Andi Watson
Horn Book, May/June 2015 issue
