"From two-time Caldecott Honor recipient Marla Frazee" over the covers of her books All the World, Bossy Baby, and The Farmer and the Clown... "Discover the wonder in every moment, big and small In Every Life" The text is illuminated with sunstrokes emerging from behind in all around as it shines on above the scent of a child running open armed towards the right in the direction of an older gentleman sitting on a bench. A mother-figure walking behind with a stroller follows the child. Around them are yellow and green foliage.

Regular Hours: Monday - Saturday: 10 am - 6 pm and Sunday: 11 am - 4 pm

Fevered Star (Between Earth and Sky #2) By Rebecca Roanhorse Cover Image

Fevered Star (Between Earth and Sky #2) (Hardcover)

By Rebecca Roanhorse
$27.99

A stunning sequel to the dark and complex world introduced in Black Sun. This brings a little more hope on the horizon, in the strange sense of being ok with the world ending.
