03 Sep, by Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center in Audio, Black/African American, European, Fiction, Jewish, Middle Grade Readers, Nonethnic-specific, Pacific Islander, Repost, Young Adult Readers

Time travel, time paradoxes, time shells, time hollows – are they fantasy? Reality? The following titles are billed as fiction, but they're also a look into endless possibilities. Last week, we brought you audiobooks about time travel for adults, but it's time (sorry) younger readers got...

Bad Girls: Sirens, Jezebels, Murderesses, Thieves, & Other Female Villains by Jane Yolen and Heidi E. Y. Stemple, illustrated by Rebecca Guay

29 Mar, by Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center in Biography, Middle Grade Readers, Nonethnic-specific, Nonfiction, Young Adult Readers

If beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, then perhaps bad behavior might be, too. "In this book we are taking a look back through history at all manner of famous female felons," write mother/daughter author-team Jane Yolen and Heidi E. Y. Stemple (who,...

The Day Tiger Rose Said Goodbye by Jane Yolen, illustrated by Jim LaMarche

29 May, by Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center in Children/Picture Books, Fiction, Nonethnic-specific

Once upon a time B.C. – that's Before Children – the hubby and I had four furry practice kiddies. One of them was named Bob. As in Bob Cat. He was named by my middle brother, who lived with us on and off (in between...

Elsie’s Bird by Jane Yolen, illustrated by David Small

13 Oct, by Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center in Children/Picture Books, Fiction, Nonethnic-specific

The versatile Jane Yolen – apparently she hates the word "prolific" according to a recent interview – debuts her 300th title bearing her good name over the half century she's been writing! No, that's not a typo. Yes, truly 300 books! No wonder she's been called...

Not All Princesses Dress in Pink by Jane Yolen and Heidi E. Y. Stemple, illustrated by Anne-Sophie Lanquetin

25 May, by Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center in Children/Picture Books, Fiction, Nonethnic-specific

Let the giggling begin! Mother/daughter writing team of hundreds-and-hundreds-of-titles-between-the-two-of-them present girl power with a pink-less crown on top! And what an absolutely delightful collaboration indeed. Not to disparage the color pink – I admit it! I loathe the color! – but really, pink is just...

Foiled by Jane Yolen, illustrated by Mike Cavallaro

21 Apr, by Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center in Graphic Title/Manga/Manwha, Middle Grade Readers, Nonethnic-specific

Warning: I can't find any promises of a volume 2 (or 3, 4, or more!) anywhere in, on, or around this book. Nothing in the publicist's note, either! Uh-oh ...

My Father Knows the Names of Things by Jane Yolen, illustrated by Stéphane Jorisch

14 Apr, by Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center in Children/Picture Books, Fiction, Nonethnic-specific

With over 300 titles to her name, Jane Yolen simply couldn't be more prolific! Here she teams up with the whimsically fantastic illustrator Stéphane Jorisch who captures Yolen's delight-filled father/daughter adventures as they meet dogs walking their owner, paint a room seven shades of blue, get...

The Seeing Stick by Jane Yolen, illustrated by Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini

20 Oct, by Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center in Children/Picture Books, Chinese, Fiction, Nonethnic-specific

Without a doubt, the most remarkable part of this striking new edition of Jane Yolen's 1977 title are the pictures. The story is simple: a Chinese emperor's daughter, blind since birth, learns to "see" with the help of a wise old man and his mysteriously...
