Awe!, a picture book that shows young audiences there’s wonder everywhere

I like big books and I cannot lie. The size of a picture book doesn’t matter. I know, you know, it’s about the quality or interest level of what’s inside. However, kids might be swayed when they see a picture book that’s larger than others. It puts a stamp on the bookshelf. It’s a physical declaration that dares young audiences not to open it. Books of that ilk have an awe about them. To wit, Awe! is a picture book that celebrates the wonders that live around everyone everywhere.

Awe! is a picture book that reminds older readers of the magic around us, while showing young audiences the wonder and awe that’s all around us.
Awe!, it’s not a wrestling acronym, it’s a great picture book

Burn the Water, mglit/YA that sets a higher water mark for the genre

Oh dystopian mglit and YA, you vex me so. Burn the Water is by Billy Ray. He’s the Oscar-nominated writer of the screenplay for Captain Phillips. Ray has also had his screenwriter or writing fingerprints all over The Hunger Games, Richard Jewell, and The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. Text is not a stranger to him. Ironically, Burn the Water is his first novel, but he’s obviously cut his teeth on tense projects that have a taut narrative. Even if you didn’t know his pedigree, you’d suspect that something was higher than usual within the first couple of pages of Burn the Water.

Burn the Water is YA/mglit that blazes a unique path through a world that you think you know, but will certainly want to read more about.
YA/mglit/book people, c’mon in, the water’s fine
