Présentation de l’éditeur
This book is not a valentine. It doesn't have lacey edges or sugary hearts. But it is full of lucky rocks, secret hiding spots, and gumball machine treasures. This is a book about waiting in line and wishing for cinnamon buns. About recognizing that if you care so much about someone not thinking you care, maybe you really do. But wait-isn't that exactly what love is about? Maybe this book is sort of a valentine after all. A testament to handmade, wacky, bashful, honest love-sure to winover the hearts of all readers-this offering from debut picture book author Carter Higgins and children's book veteran Lucy Ruth Cummins is the perfect gift to celebrate every relationship, from parent to child, sibling to sibling, partner to partner, crush to crush.

Présentation de l’éditeur
Il était une fois un lion affamé et quelques adorables petits animaux... Selon toi, que s'est-il donc passé ?
Pour fêter le Roi Lion, tous ses amis se sont réunis : le pingouin, la tortue, le petit chat calicot, la souris brune, le lapin aux oreilles tombantes, un autre aux oreilles dressées, la grenouille, la chauve-souris, le cochon, le mouton couvert de laine, le koala et, enfin, la poule...
Servi par des illustrations hautes en couleur, à la gouache, mine de plomb et fusain, un album tout à la fois délicieux et sombre, à l'humour corrosif, à la chute évoquant, façon clin d'œil, le Jurassic Park de Spielberg.

Présentation de l’éditeur
Stumpkin is the most handsome pumpkin on the block. He’s as orange as a traffic cone! Twice as round as a basketball! He has no bad side! He’s perfect choice for a Halloween jack-o-lantern.

There’s just one problem—Stumpkin has a stump, not a stem. And no one seems to want a stemless jack-o-lantern for their window.

As Halloween night approaches, more and more of his fellow pumpkins leave, but poor Stumpkin remains. Will anyone give Stumpkin his chance to shine?
