New Releases by Kevin Hawkes

Ooh la la! From New York Times bestseller Kevin Hawkes, illustrator of Library Lion and Weslandia, comes the charming story of a dog and her owner who become the toast of Paris. Lulu and her master, Remy, a passionate but struggling portrait painter, wander the French countryside looking for customers. They don’t need much business —just enough for some figs and cheese to keep their bellies full—but not many people seem to appreciate Remy’s abstract style. Before long, Lulu secretly lends a paw to Remy’s work and—voilà!—the pair are the most celebrated artists on the salon circuit. If only Remy knew why . . . With art from both beloved children’s book illustrator Kevin Hawkes and award-winning miniatures artist Hannah Harrison, this funny and heartwarming story about friendship and creativity shows that there are many ways to be good at the same thing . . . and that a true friend is always there for you. This Read & Listen edition contains audio narration.

But when Toddie accidentally gets separated from his parents and ends up lost, he acts just like any other baby would act—he's scared and he wants his Ma! Will Toddie be reunited with his parents? Kevin Hawkes once again proves his versatility as both a talented artist and a gifted storyteller in this hilarious sequel that is equally easily enjoyed on its own.
