A PIGLET NAMED MERCY written by Kate DiCamillo & illustrated by Chris Van Dusen

Mr. Watson and Mrs. Watson live ordinary lives. Sometimes their lives feel a bit too ordinary. Sometimes they wish something different would happen. And one day it does, when someone unpredictable finds her way to their front door. In a delightful origin story for the star of the Mercy Watson series, a tiny piglet brings love (and chaos) to Deckawoo Drive — and the Watsons’ lives will never be the same.

LIZZY AND THE CLOUD written & illustrated by The Fan Brothers

It’s a little out of fashion to buy a pet cloud, but Lizzy doesn’t mind. She’s not looking for a big one or a fancy one, just one that’s right for her. And she finds it in Milo.

Soon, she’s taking Milo out on walks with her family, watering Milo right on schedule, and seeing Milo grow and grow. But what happens when her pet cloud gets too big for Lizzy to handle?

We listen to our Summiteers!

Today we are excited to announce we’re hosting a FREE online Mini Summit to showcase three debut authors and their recent success in publishing. On August 31st at 8pm ET/5pm PT, join the Picture Book Summit Team for:

Picture Book Summit Book Bundle Giveaway 2021!

The Rock from the Sky written and illustrated by Jon Klassen

Here comes The Rock from the Sky, a hilarious meditation on the workings of friendship, fate, shared futuristic visions, and that funny feeling you get that there’s something off somewhere, but you just can’t put your finger on it. Merging broad visual suspense with wry wit, celebrated picture book creator Jon Klassen gives us a wholly original comedy for the ages.

Dreamers written and illustrated by Yuyi Morales

Dreamers is a celebration of making your home with the things you always carry: your resilience, your dreams, your hopes and history. It’s the story of finding your way in a new place, of navigating an unfamiliar world and finding the best parts of it. In dark times, it’s a promise that you can make better tomorrows.

Two Grooms on a Cake written by Rob Sanders, illustrated by Robbie Cathro

Long before marriage equality was the law of the land, two grooms stood on a wedding cake with their feet firmly planted in fluffy white frosting. That cake belonged to Jack Baker and Michael McConnell, who were wed on September 3, 1971, becoming the first same-sex couple in America to be legally married. This beautiful book celebrates the love story of two pioneers of marriage equality for all through the baking of their wedding cake!
