Notes From Your Bookseller
Zadie Smith (White Teeth) and Nick Laird (Feel Free, Modern Gods) introduce us to Maud. Maud is a guinea pig who arrives one day with little explanation. To Kit, Maud is "her birthday Surprise." To Kit's other pets, Maud is an "oddball." Through a series of serendipitous events, Maud meets Emily Brookstein. For anyone who has ever met an Emily Brookstein, you'll know things always turn out for the best. Magenta Fox makes her illustration debut in this adorable, heart-warming tale that's perfect to discuss embracing one's individuality and also accepting others.
This back-to-school season, individuality is in! Nothing makes a splash like being uniquely yourself—and celebrating what makes you different.
