Dad Bakes
Dad wakes early every morning before the sun, heading off to work at the bakery. He kneads, rolls, and bakes, and as the sun rises and the world starts its day, Dad heads home to his young daughter. Together they play, read, garden, and--most importantly--they bake.
This lovely, resonant picture book was inspired by muralist Katie Yamasaki's work with formerly incarcerated people. With subtle, uncluttered storytelling amplified by her monumental and heartfelt paintings, she has created a powerful story of love, of family, and of reclaiming a life with joy.

Doing Business
Someone has done business where they're not supposed to. But who was it?
Suspense builds as suspects are rhythmically, methodically eliminated. We know it wasn't the baby (diaper), or Daddy (bathroom), or the lion at the zoo (too risky).
There's a place for everything, and Shawn Harris's snappy text and stylish, accessible art shine in this universal, hilarious, and perfectly paced picture book about the right place for bathroom business.
