Book Description
“A subtle, deceptively simple book about inclusion, hospitality, and welcoming the ‘other.’” —Kirkus Reviews “A boundlessly inclusive spirit...This open-ended picture book creates a natural springboard for discussion.” —Booklist “This sweet extended metaphor uses an umbrella to demonstrate how kindness and inclusion work...A lovely addition to any library collection, for classroom use or for sharing at home.” —School Library Journal In the tradition of Alison McGhee’s Someday, beloved illustrator Amy June Bates makes her authorial debut alongside her eleven-year-old daughter with this timely and timeless picture book about acceptance. By the door there is an umbrella. It is big. It is so big that when it starts to rain there is room for everyone underneath. It doesn’t matter if you are tall. Or plaid. Or hairy. It doesn’t matter how many legs you have. Don’t worry that there won’t be enough room under the umbrella. Because there will always be room. Lush illustrations and simple, lyrical text subtly address themes of inclusion and tolerance in this sweet story that accomplished illustrator Amy June Bates cowrote with her daughter, Juniper, while walking to school together in the rain.

Book Description
Not a book for children, but rather a collection of short stories dealing with loss of some kind, (emotional, spiritual, physical), The Children's Corner is a disturbing and thought-provoking, sometimes hilarious look at the human condition. Ranging from morbid to hysterically funny, these rare and occasionally bizarre glimpses into the human heart are deftly crafted jewels that show us the most labyrinthine recesses of the human psyche. McCrae covers a great deal of territory in these remarkable gems, with topics that include everything from family dysfunction, denial, pathological lying, self-mutilation, and failed suicide attempts, to Alzheimer's, infidelity, homophobia, primitive urges, tornadoes, and cross-dressing. The settings for the stories range from the rural to the Midwest, and from New Orleans to the trendy Connecticut town of Westport. All the characters are fallible and distinctive, and McCrae shows us how each and every one of us, no matter who we are or where we live, have angels and demons to wrestle with.
