And any picture book that makes me want to wallpaper my house with its pages is more than OK by me.” ―RomperPraise for 3 2 1 Awesome!:”Counting down from 20, this charming board book profiles strong contemporary and historical women … The choices are solid and represent a diverse range of women and professions.” ―BooklistPraise for A Is for Awesome!:A Publishers Weekly Bestseller!”That theme of swinging for the fences and going for it is the undercurrent in this book. Even though it’s about how they’re all awesome, the real undercurrent is, ‘Look at all these people who are superheroes who are just like you.’ I try to tell that to my daughter.” ―Hasan Minhaj, in HuffpostPraise for Juno Valentine and the Magical Shoes:A New York Times Bestseller!Featured in Oprah Magazine’s Holiday Gift GuideRecommended by Rachael Ray as the perfect holiday giftFeatured in InStyle’s Holiday Gift Guide“[A]
