Creston
Books is a new publisher of children's books, begun by author Marissa
Moss. I was lucky enough to meet Marissa at Book Expo America and I
must admit it was hard to contain my excitement. I grew up reading
Amelia's Notebook and even had the doll. Talking with Marissa about
her own books and her new publishing venture I was inspired. Marissa
is passionate about children's books and her passion is infectious.
I'm looking forward to watching her list grow.
Two upcoming Creston Books:
Rotten
Pumpkin: A Rotten Tale in 15 Voices by David M. Schwartz, Photos by Dwight Kuhn
Follow the
life cycle of a Jack o'lantern as it is eaten by animals, molds,
bugs, and worms. Stunning photographs detail mold growth and the
intricacies of rot. The clear photos will have students peering at
their own classroom experiments and their Jack o'lantern in a new
light. With a comprehensive glossary, this book would be a
fascinating addition to classroom libraries.
Cozy
Light, Cozy Night by Elisa Kleven
In
winter, pajamas are cozy. In the summer, a special rock might be cozy
in your pocked. Elisa Kleven encourages readers to consider the small
treasure each season brings. Her colorful illustrations are layered
with patterns and textures reminiscent of cozy quilts. This would
make a lovely gift for any family. I encourage you to curl up under a
quilt and read it together!
