Book Description
A lonely boy’s new pet grows into a rather large dilemma—and a Thanksgiving parade offers an uplifting solution—in this charming tale from the author of The Boy and the Airplane and The Girl and the Bicycle. When Leonard takes a shortcut through the park, he finds an egg and takes it home, where it hatches into a lizard (or so Leonard thinks). Leonard names his new pet Buster and takes him all around the city: on the subway, to the library, to a baseball game, and more. But Buster keeps growing and growing—and Leonard gets the sense that Buster is longing for something Leonard can’t provide. Before long, Buster becomes too big to keep, and Leonard realizes he needs to set Buster free. So Leonard comes up with an inventive plan, one that involves all the balloons Leonard can find and the annual Thanksgiving parade, in an imaginative plot twist that will spark readers’ imaginations—and touch their hearts.

Pages : 190
Book Description
Like the subject of love itself, this astounding and clever new book of poems by Amy Beth Katz is both satirically funny and deadly serious, often at the same time. It take readers on a transformative journey into the all consuming power of love and desire, from the heartbreaking pleasure of the romantic crush, to Agape, love for the world, to the mad pursuit of Eros -- the insatiable longing to merge with the divine (who plays hide and seek in our lovers, and our own souls.) The profane images will swallow you whole, make you laugh and cut you until you feel that you too want to do something insane and heroic in the name of hungry love. This is ultimately a book about self-acceptance, and readers will find it as empowering as it is refreshing.
