An unprecedented treasury of Yiddish children’s stories and poems enhanced with original illustrations

While there has been a recent boom in Jewish literacy and learning within the US, few resources exist to enable American Jews to experience the rich primary sources of Yiddish culture. Stepping into this void, Miriam Udel has crafted an exquisite collection: Honey on the Page offers a feast of beguiling original translations of stories and poems for children.

Arranged thematically—from school days to the holidays—the book takes readers from Jewish holidays and history to folktales and fables, from stories of humanistic ethics to multi-generational family sagas. Featuring many works that are appearing in English for the first time, and written by both prominent and lesser-known authors, this anthology spans the Yiddish-speaking globe—drawing from materials published in Eastern Europe, New York, and Latin America from the 1910s, during the interwar period, and up through the 1970s. With its vast scope, Honey on the Page offers a cornucopia of delights to families, individuals and educators seeking literature that speaks to Jewish children about their religious, cultural, and ethical heritage.

Complemented by whimsical, humorous illustrations by Paula Cohen, an acclaimed children’s book illustrator, Udel’s evocative translations of Yiddish stories and poetry will delight young and older readers alike.

A dazzling, own-voice Native Californian creation story.

Accompanied by richly colorful illustrations from Carly Lake, the book touches deftly on themes like the unintended consequences of greed and the importance of working together. A rendition of one of California’s oldest tales, Waa'aka' is a beautiful children’s book in the classic style.

This captivating story is helpful as a Sunday School or home school lesson or a Children’s message when others are commissioned for mission work.

The magical story of how a boy with a disability who is bullied finds the hero within.

As Drake gets ready for bed, his mother entertains his questions about tyrants, pirates, and dragons—which are really questions about the power of bullies. Their conversation reminds us all that “Not even kings are allowed to be mean.”

Targeted for young children and their caregivers, Sir Drake the Brave is a declaration of ethics, integrity and faith: that kindness and courage ultimately are stronger than any sort of small-minded bullying or hate. Fun and entertaining, the story teaches lessons of accepting others, and welcoming others, including those who are different.

A heartwarming and encouraging story told through beautiful 3D clay art illustrations.

One of the wisemen, Melchior, has the same dream night after night in which he is urged to follow a newly risen star. Worried about the perils he might encounter but certain he must make the trip, he embarks on the journey with his nonchalant and wise camel, Nubia. What follows is a rich and engaging tale full of interesting meetings along the path, that ultimately help him gain confidence in himself.

In these days when we all live with some sense of worry and anxiety, the book offers to children—and parents—a way to think about how we make the journey through life together and how we find calm and hope even when things feel uncertain.

Defined by his dogged fortitude and courage, his exploits became legend: snacking on chili dogs, dodging streetcars, crashing Saints tailgates, and even chatting with a giraffe at the zoo. But it was a New Year’s Eve firework scare and a run to Harahan that led to a turning point—and a cozy couch. Pondering his newly acquired leisure time, Scrim gave his first-person account of his adventures to trusted friend and beloved storyteller Margaret Orr. 

Now, Scrim recounts his journey from runaway rogue to local icon in his own words (with help from Margaret Orr). Scrim My Tail: As Told to Margaret Orr is a heartwarming story of survival, sass, and finding out that, sometimes, the best adventures lead you home.

Johanna Spyri's timeless classic from the Alps, told in beautiful illustrations by a Swiss papercut artist

Heidi, with more than 50 million copies sold around the world, is one of the bestselling books of all time. A global treasure, Heidi was inscribed on the International Memory of the World Register of UNESCO in 2023. 

For the first time, Swiss illustrator, Carole Aufranc, has captured the timeless classic of the girl in the Alps in a series of only 30 simple and beautiful illustrations. The illustrated adaptation will excite young readers as they follow Heidi and her uncle in the mountains amongst their goats, then on to her challenges far away, and finally her triumphant return. This version will delight anyone who loves Heidi as well as those who haven't yet gotten the chance to hear her heartwarming story.

• The Kasa-obake, a one-eyed one-legged umbrella with a long, slithery tongue
• Kurokamikiri, a shaggy bearlike beast that sneaks up on you and cuts your hair

• Hanako, a bathroom-dwelling ghost girl
• And many more!

Words are powerful. Words spread truth. Words turn to action. Words matter in this lyrical account of the White Rose Resistance.

The White Rose Resistance was the German student movement that used the power of the written word to speak out against the Nazis during World War II. They worked in secret to distribute leaflets condemning the government’s actions at a time when doing so meant putting your life at risk.

The story follows siblings Hans and Sophie Scholl, who were instrumental members of the resistance. Words Matter transports readers through the world the siblings inhabited, from their idyllic childhood to becoming leaders in the Hitler Youth groups; the Nuremberg Rally; witnessing the arrests and murders of innocent people; and finally emerging as leaders of the White Rose Resistance — while still believing in the goodness that lived in the hearts of the German people. The Scholl siblings were arrested and executed in 1943 but their legacy, and the words of the Resistance, live on.

Written in verse and strikingly illustrated for middle-grade readers, Words Matter brings to life an unforgettable true story of nonviolent resistance. Hans and Sophie’s story demonstrates the enduring power of words, especially in times of propaganda and fear.

Valeria is a little bunny who loves learning new things and go to school. She has a great time counting all the fingers of her hand and pronouncing the names of the colors of a sparkling rainbow. However, Valeria is very very shy and she tries not to stand down by speaking softly that hardly anyone could hear her. She didn’t know the power that was in her laugh, and she held it in, so it wouldn’t escape, the strength of her hugs and her kisses, which she kept all to herself.

Valeria always walked looking down at the ground, and that's why she never stumbled! She recognized all of her classmates not by their faces… but by their shoes!

Valeria siempre caminaba mirando al suelo ¡y por eso nunca tropezaba! Conocía a todos sus compañeros de clase no por sus caras… ¡sino por sus zapatos! Pero cuando menos se lo espera, su inseparable sombrero echa a volar, y entonces Valeria se ve obligada a echar la vista hacia arriba y contemplar todo lo que se había perdido hasta ese momento.

2023 Nominee, Patricia Gallagher Children’s Choice Award

"Could there be a more Oregon picture book than one starring a slug who does yoga? Oregon author Stephanie Shaw's quirky protagonist stars in a story in which her sly sweetness carries the day when her animal friends' speed, strength and size all fail against a protective gardener. Mixed-media illustrations by Fiona Lee enhance Sylvia's elegant solution."
—The Oregonian

"Shaw's evocative descriptions of the flora and fauna will engage young readers and the author's note gives factual information about slugs and their value to the garden's ecosystem. Lee's mixed-media illustrations have a sophisticated palette with an aesthetic that grown-up fans of Anna Rifle Bond will appreciate. The balance between boisterous action and meditative zen makes this title a standout among yoga picture books. A fun, frolicking tale, and welcome addition to picture book collections, that sneaks in an etiquette lesson without feeling overly didactic."
—School Library Journal

"Confident in her own brand of quiet strength, Sylvia's way teaches kids that there are different kinds of strength. And that often, the best way to solve a problem is not with physical strength, but with patience and words. Stephanie Shaw and Fiona Lee's depiction of this unlikely hero is sure to find fans among yoga and garden enthusiasts. Lee's expressive art is a perfect complement to Shaw's simple and satisfying story. The earthy color palette allows Sylvia's 'slime' trail of silvery, shiny gloss to take center stage, keeping even the youngest readers entranced. Throw in some fun yoga poses, and this book makes a delightful, interactive read-aloud."
—Good Reads with Ronna

"This cute story is brought to life by adorable pictures (the people and animals are very expressive) and even the shiny slime trail Sylvia leaves behind."
—Youth Services Review

Mom and Dad in Heaven tells the moving story of a young girl struggling to understand her parents’ untimely deaths in an accident.

In the desire to make sense of her loss – and with the gentle, loving responses of those around her – Mary begins to address her grief. Over the course of these first few months of her bereavement, she also asks questions about faith, God, and heaven.

Originally published in Norway as Mor og far i himmelen (Mother and Father in Heaven), this new edition is beautifully illustrated by Øyvind Torseter. Written as diary entries, the book is set at a third-fifth grade reading level.

El primer libro ilustrado del artista español que hay detrás de las portadas icónicas de la arrolladora saga Blackwater.

Venerado por generaciones de lectores —pequeños y grandes— en todo el mundo, El principito es un clásico inagotable que logra conmovernos en cada lectura.

La historia de Saint-Exupéry narra el encuentro, en la soledad del desierto del Sáhara, entre un aviador que ha sufrido una avería y un niño que se acerca a él para pedirle el dibujo de un cordero. Este hombrecito de cabellos dorados, que ha viajado por varios planetas antes de recalar en la Tierra, es muy sabio en su inocencia. Su capacidad para el asombro y su arrojo en las preguntas constituyen el origen de las poderosas reflexiones sobre la vida que atesoran estas páginas.

Puede que el piloto que nos cuenta la historia no consiguiera desarrollar su talento artístico, pero sin duda sí lo ha hecho Pedro Oyarbide, que ha reinterpretado con inigualable maestría uno de los libros más entrañables de la literatura universal. Sus ilustraciones, vibrantes y detalladas, nos ofrecen la extraordinaria oportunidad de asomarnos a El principito como si fuera la primera vez.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The first illustrated book by the Spanish artist behind the iconic covers of the sweeping Blackwater saga.

Venerated by generations of readers —young and old— around the world, The Little Prince is an inexhaustible classic that moves us with every reading.

Saint-Exupéry’s story recounts the encounter, in the solitude of the Sahara Desert, between an aviator who has suffered a breakdown and a boy who approaches him to ask for a drawing of a sheep. This little golden-haired boy, who has traveled to several planets before arriving on Earth, is very wise in his innocence. His capacity for wonder and his boldness in asking questions are the source of the powerful reflections on life contained in these pages.

The pilot who tells us the story may not have been able to develop his artistic talent, but Pedro Oyarbide certainly has: he has reinterpreted with unmatched mastery one of the most beloved books in world literature. His vibrant, detailed illustrations offer us the extraordinary opportunity to approach The Little Prince as if for the first time.
