by Suzanne SladeWhen read forward and backwards, this clever and thought-provoking flip-it story demonstrates that there&’s more than one way to think about someone who might seem &“different&” at first glance.It isn&’t easy to say hi to someone new, is it?Told from the perspective of a student, The New Kid Welcome (or Welcome the New Kid when flipped) presents readers with two versions of what happens when a "new kid" joins the protagonist's school. In the first half of the book, the student tells us that they don&’t want to be nice to the new kid or welcome them into their group simply because they seem different. In the second half, the same lines of the story are placed in reverse order. When read this way, the student encourages us to say hello to someone new, saying they will share their table and snacks. With a simple flip of the story, feelings of intolerance give way to those of inclusion and kindness. Precise, thoughtful text and inclusive illustrations combine to create a perfect tool for promoting acceptance and a kinder world. After all... It iseasy to say hi to someone new,isn&’t it?

A New Kind of Wild
by Zara Gonzalez HoangThis sweet author-illustrator debut celebrates imagination, the magic of friendship, and all the different ways we make a new place feel like home.For Ren, home is his grandmother's little house, and the lush forest that surrounds it. Home is a place of magic and wonder, filled with all the fantastical friends that Ren dreams up. Home is where his imagination can run wild. For Ava, home is a brick and cement city, where there's always something to do or see or hear. Home is a place bursting with life, where people bustle in and out like a big parade. Home is where Ava is never lonely because there's always someone to share in her adventures. When Ren moves to Ava's city, he feels lost without his wild. How will he ever feel at home in a place with no green and no magic, where everything is exactly what it seems? Of course, not everything in the city is what meets the eye, and as Ren discovers, nothing makes you feel at home quite like a friend. Inspired by the stories her father told her about moving from Puerto Rico to New York as a child, Zara González Hoang's author-illustrator debut is an imaginative exploration of the true meaning of "home."

Contributing writers are as follows: Neil Gaiman, Ellen Kushner, Susan Palwick, Harry Turtledove, Debora Doyle and James D. Mcdonald, Jane Yolen, Charles de Lint, Andy Duncan, Sherwood Smith, Emma Bull, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Orson Scott Card. The moods of the stories cover the range from witty and humorous to sad and profound. Fantasy readers will recognize a number of familiar fantasy worlds, including the Borderlands, Earth Sea, King Arthur's knights, and the tales of Alvin Maker. Tor characterizes the work in these words: Whether it's a tole of a wizard developing his powers or a breakneck chase through New York City in search of the Grail, the best fantasy is all about coming face-to-face with reality-with boundariesand saying, What if? It's about stepping across the threshold of what is and what must be into a world of maybes and why-nots. Most of all, it's a great deal of fun. It's for today's generation of young readers that Patrick Nielsen Hayden-winner of the World Fantasy Award for Best Anthology-has selected these stories from the thousands published by contemporary fantasy writers over the past two decades, for those readers who keep asking questions but are never completely satisfied with the answers-only the journey. Here is National Book Award winner Ursula K. Le Guin with a tale of wizardry from the world of her Earthsea books. Here is Orson Scott Card, author of Ender's Game, with the original story of Prentice Alvin in alternate, magical nineteenth-century America. Here is Sandman author Neil Gaiman with a story of chivalry, with a distinctly modern twist. Here are werewolves and princesses, battles and enchantments, and great stories from Jane Yolen, Harry Turtledove, Charles de Lint, Emma Bull, and others. Whimsical or harrowing, irreverent or sublime, each of these stories is an adventure in imagination. Journey from the here and now to New Magics.
