A great new fantasy series that combines Filipino culture, anti-ICE sentiments, and traditional fairy tale themes all in one.

A wonderfully colorful and joyous celebration of Haitian perseverance and culture. Includes a tasty recipe to boot!

I'm finding my words insufficient for describing what Hicks has achieved with this book of poetry, so I'm going to quote Tyrese Coleman: “These poems explore Black femme power and the reclaiming of those harmed bodies...and embracing the nonbinary femme body through a miasma of language and imagery that conjures Christian, Afrofuturist, and Voodoo mysticism; it’s all beautifully visceral and real.”

A magical, wintery adventure filled with fairies dinosaurs, and mustachioed mayhem. Stella is out to prove girls can be explorers too, and maybe break some other misconceptions while she’s at it.

Looking for a good thriller to keep winter boredom at bay? Try this! Creative, nuanced, and an interesting meditation on familial obligation.

A magnificent ode to the disappearing natural world. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous, and the intertwining of letters and images has a great effect. The concept is also very appealing for logophiles (such as yours truly).

A beautiful book with stories from different cultures. A stellar gift for the myths, monsters, and folktales fan.

Written with a traditional rhyming scheme that gives the story a bouncy, vibrant feel. Adorable illustrations and a good moral message to boot!

Poor Pirate Skeleton, he just wants to be whole again! And to teach kids about skeletal anatomy. Cute rhymes, bright colors, and pirates are a winning combination. Added plus: it's a good spooky-time book without being all about Halloween.

This is a great place to start if you're a horror lover looking for more authors to read. There are so many mentioned in this book, not just the big names. I appreciate the trigger warnings that accompany discussions of some works, as there are some topics you may want to know about ahead of time. A beautiful ode to women horror and speculative fiction writers (including pulp fiction!).
