What's New?

In this funny picture book, George Washington wakes up on his seventh birthday and spends the entire day pouting because no one seems to remember that what day it is. Some day, he tells himself, everyone will remember my birthday!

He gets in trouble for chopping down a cherry tree. He throws a stone all the way across the Rappahannock. And he crosses an icy creek. When his father tells him to clean up before dinner, George powders his wig.

The author and artist gleefully poke fun at some of the myths surrounding our first President, and remind us that they’re not true.

What if God were a teenaged boy?

In the beginning, Bob created the heavens and the earth and the beasts of the field and the creatures of the sea, and twenty-five million other species (including lots of cute girls). But mostly he prefers eating junk food and leaving his dirty clothes in a heap at the side of his bed.

Every time he falls in love, Earth erupts in natural disasters, and it's usually Bob's beleaguered assistant, Mr. B., who is left cleaning up the mess. So humankind is going to be very sorry indeed that Bob ever ran into a beautiful, completely irresistible girl called Lucy . . .

For ages 12 and up. 

Just in time for the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts in 2012, a lavishly illustrated account of the fascinating life of the woman who started it all.

Juliette (Daisy) Gordon Low was a remarkable woman with ideas that were ahead of her time. She witnessed important eras in U.S. history, from the Civil War and Reconstruction to westward expansion to post-World War I. And she made history by founding the first national organization to bring girls from all backgrounds into the out-of-doors. Daisy created controversy by encouraging them to prepare not only for traditional homemaking but also for roles as professional women "in the arts, sciences, and business" and for active citizenship outside the home. Her group also welcomed girls with disabilities at a time when they were usually excluded.
