By Terry Fan, Eric Fan, Devin Fan. 2020

until his dreams of freedom lead him and his misfit friends on a perilous adventure. A stunning picture book from international bestsellers The Fan Brothers, joined by their brother Devin Fan. Deep underground beneath Perfect Pets, where children can buy genetically engineered "perfect" creatures, there is a secret lab. Barnabus and his friends live in this lab, but none of them is perfect. They are all Failed Projects. Barnabus has never been outside his tiny bell jar, yet he dreams of one day seeing the world above ground that his pal Pip the cockroach has told him about: a world with green hills and trees, and buildings that reach all the way to the sky, lit with their own stars. But Barnabus may have to reach the outside world sooner than he thought, because the Green Rubber Suits are about to recycle all Failed Projects . . . and Barnabus doesn't want to be made into a fluffier pet with bigger eyes. He just wants to be himself. So he decides it's time for he and the others to escape. With his little trunk and a lot of cooperation and courage, Barnabus sets out to find freedom -- and a place where he and his friends can finally be accepted for who they are. This suspenseful, poignant and magical story about following your dreams and finding where you truly belong will draw readers into a surreal, lushly detailed world in which perfection really means being true to yourself and your friends.Redlocks and the three bears
By Claudia Rueda. 2021
Goldilocks meets Little Red Riding Hood in this charming and unexpected fairytale mashup from the New York Times bestselling Illustrator…
of Easter Cat ! KNOCK! KNOCK! When the Three Bears answer the door, it's not Goldilocks they meet, but a stranger from a different story. It's Little Red Riding Hood-and the Big Bad Wolf is close behind her! Still, much unfolds as expected: porridge is eaten, a chair is broken, and there is a girl asleep in Baby Bear's bed. Does Little Red fit in this book after all? Perhaps it's the Wolf who will surprise us. With a bit of courage and much compassion, the Bears and Little Red learn that characters, just like the stories we tell, can change over time. In this quirky combination of familiar fairy tales, Claudia Rueda tells a new story about what happens when we open our minds, hearts, and homes to the utterly unexpected. FAIRYTALES-WITH A TWIST: From the original mind of Claudia Rueda, this fresh take on classic fairy tales is an inspired nod to the storytelling tradition and reveals how some of our most beloved, time-honored children's stories interact with each other . . . literally, and with hilarity. This fairytale mashup will charm even the most jaded of readers with its humor, its wild and endearing characters, and its unexpected meta twists. FOR FANS OF...: Sure to be read side-by-side with mash-up classics like Jon Scieszka's The True Story of the Three Little Pigs and David Wiesner's The Three Pigs ! MILLENNIAL LITTLE RED: Little Red Riding Hood has got a punk personality and aesthetic. She breaks down the barriers that stand in her way, including escaping traditional narratives and endings. EMPATHY FOR THE WOLF: Is The Big Bad Wolf really so big, and really so bad? Approach a "villain" with a little empathy, and you may just make a new friend! INSPIRED BY BOOKS: Inspired by antique books, Claudia Rueda has infused this book with classic bookmaking, from flourishes on book covers and type design, to playing with meta touches like walking between books, past title pages, and in to other stories.

By Jean-Yves Casterman. 2022
« Dans ma boîte, je suis in-des-truc-ti-ble!» Une boîte, quel lieu extraordinaire pour un enfant! Tantôt un château, un bateau…
ou un abri contre le grand méchant loup, il n’y a aucune limite à ce qu’elle peut devenir. Surtout quand on la partage avec son ami le chat. Toutefois, il arrive que l’imaginaire s’emballe et qu’il transporte l’enfant loin, trop loin... Avec Dans ma boîte, son premier album, Jean-Yves Casterman propose un style empreint de nostalgie et de douceur. Ses textures et ses couleurs, aussi chaudes que chaleureuses, se greffent à son histoire comme le ferait un câlin. Cet album est un véritable hommage à l’enfance et aux bras si rassurants des papas.La légende de Paul Thibault

ces morceaux de bâtiments. En compagnie de son frère Peter, elle cherche un endroit où ils pourront recevoir de la nourriture, mais se retrouve plutôt dans une pièce où toutes sortes de livres sont exposés. Comme la salle ferme ses portes pour la nuit, ils y retournent le lendemain afin d'entendre l'histoire lue par une dame. Cette dernière leur présente également d'autres récits qui rappellent aux enfants leur propre réalité, comme celui du taureau Ferdinand, qui refuse de suivre les ordres, alors que leur père a été tué pour avoir résisté. Redécouvrant les rêves qui se sont envolés depuis le début de la guerre, Annaliese et Peter songent à contribuer aux efforts de leur ville pour retrouver leur vie d'avant."--[SDMLéonard, le mouton qui ne voulait pas être tricoté
By Mélanie Fortin. 2018
Entassés les uns à côté des autres, la tête penchée pour brouter l'herbe au sol, les moutons du berger ressemblent…
à une véritable couverture de laine, qui comporte cependant un accroc. Une des bêtes, plutôt que de partager le festin de ses congénères, a la tête constamment relevée vers le ciel. Léonard a en effet envie de s'envoler vers des contrées lointaines et de faire des rencontres, l'idée de se voir tondu pour en faire des vêtements de toutes sortes lui donnant des cauchemars. Si tous les autres moutons se moquent de lui et de ses rêves de grandeur, il songe que son souhait est réalisable quand il voit une nuée de montgolfières voler au-dessus du champ. S'entraînant à courir et à monter dans les arbres, il compte bien mettre son plan à exécution, mais le reste du troupeau lui rappelle constamment qu'on n'a jamais vu un mouton dans un ballon.
