Staff Pick of the Week!
Billie Anna reads The Book of Gothel by Mary McMyne
"Think you know the story of the witch in Rapunzel’s tower? Think again. This book is a lush fairytale, rooted in history and steeped with a dark and feminine magic. We start slow, exploring Halewise’s youth as an odd child in a superstitious and religious medieval town. As she grows into a teenager, Haelewise learns of love, loss, sisterhood, and the ancient wisdom of women. The tale starts to race, as Haelewise herself races through the forest to find the tower. This is the perfect book to curl up with on a chilly or stormy night, as you imagine the harsh and beautiful world of 12th century Germany for a magical young girl on her own. If you love the works of Madeline Miller or Naomi Novik, you will love the tale of Haelewise, and the path that brought her to the tower of Gothel."

Kitty Corner
Gibby continues to be an adorable little terror, which is probably why he is so excited to recommend The Three Billy Goats Gruff by Mac Barnett, illustrated by Jon Klassen. Gibby really relates to every single character in this retelling of a classic fairy tale.
"Once there was a bridge and a terrible and VERY hungry troll lived underneath it. When the three Billy Goats Gruff decide to clip-clop across the bridge to get to the grassy ridge, the troll is already imagining all the way to prepare a delicious goat dinner. But the troll underestimates those seemingly sweet but oh-so-savvy goats! This is the first in a groundbreaking new collection of fractured fairy tales crafted by one of today's most celebrated and acclaimed authors, Mac Barnett, and brought to stunning visual life by award-winning and beloved creator of I Want My Hat Back, Jon Klassen."
