New Releases by Chris Raschka

A boy thinks about the life of a little black crow that he sees, wondering where it goes in the snow, where it sleeps and whether or not it worries like he does. By the Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator of The Hello, Goodbye Window.

From top dogs Chis Raschka and Vladimir Radunsky comes an uplifting tale of canine self-reliance told in acrobatic, infectious rhyme. I''m the zoom-est and the boom-est, spread no gloom-est, say no doom-est. I''m the top-est, never stop-est, Boston Pop-est, be be bop-est. I''m the jazz-est, razzmatazz-est, dazzle dazz-est, most pizzazz-est. Think I kinda like it as the Hip Hop Dog. In an empowering story of an underdog who finds his voice and sense of self-worth through music, here is one hip dog who starts out as a dejected mutt but finds his groove—and his place in the world—through hip hop.

Two lonely characters, one black and one white, meet on the street and become friends.

A fabulous and funky alphabet book from Caldecott Honor artist Chris Raschka "Good morning. How are you? Talk to me about the alphabet. Don’t give me numbers. Don’t give me 1, 2, 3. Give me letters! Give me ABC!" Sound it out, listen, maybe even shout . . . This isn’t just any old conversation. We’re talking about the alphabet! Chris Raschka brings his rhythm and street-smart style to an alphabet book, where A is for Attitude and W is for Way-cool Wheels. Raschka’s artistic energy will make everyone, big and small, look at the alphabet in a new way.

A Shaker hymn about acceptance and sharing.
