Four Questions
 Bruce Eric Kaplan A family’s routine shopping trip is shattered by flatulence in Bruce Eric Kaplan’s picture book, Someone Farted. A frequent contributor to the New Yorker, Kaplan elevates the premise of what is dealt and smelt into a new realm. During a recent conversation with PW, Kaplan revealed the book’s origin but was coyer about the secret embedded in the title. Q: What attracted you to the book's subject matter—and was it hard to sell? A: Writing a fart book is probably the last thing I would choose to do. But one Saturday morning I was driving to the market with my wife and kids, when my daughter looked up from her book and said quietly, “Someone farted.” We proceeded to all blame the others. I said, this should be a picture book. An hour later, I emailed Justin—my children’s book editor—and asked if he would buy a book from me called Someone Farted, and he emailed back that he would. more

 Fruit Bowl
Mark Hoffman. Knopf, $17.99 (40p) ISBN 978-1-5247-1991-3 In his first foray as writer and illustrator, Hoffmann offers a fun, brain-teasing food literacy lesson that’s a cornucopia of produce and wordplay. After a mother enlists her child’s help in putting newly purchased vegetables and fruits away, the kid makes sure each fruit gets safely into the bowl. But why is Tomato trying to crash the party? more  Geraldine
Elizabeth Lilly. Roaring Brook/Porter, $17.99 (40p) ISBN 978-1-62672-359-7 In this funny, thoroughly accomplished debut, Geraldine is anxious to move from Giraffe City, where everyone is like her, to a new school, where everyone else is human. Suddenly, the former extrovert becomes “That Giraffe Girl,” and all she wants to do is hide, which is pretty much impossible. more  We Don't Eat Our
Classmates Ryan T. Higgins. Disney-Hyperion, $17.99 (48p) ISBN 978-1-368-00355-1 Children do get eaten in this new story by Higgins, but only temporarily. Consumed by a young, extremely cute T. rex named Penelope, they emerge unharmed (although goopy and justifiably annoyed) after Penelope’s teacher tells her to spit them out. Penelope has just started school, and eating is a preoccupation. more  Breakout
Kate Messner. Bloomsbury, $16.99 (420p) ISBN 978-1-68119-536-0 In her new novel, Messner shines a light on the ways that people are blind to their own privilege. After two inmates escape from the local maximum-security prison, where Elidee’s brother is an inmate, a new side of the friendly community is slowly revealed. Elidee’s experience of racism as one of the only black people in town makes friends Nora and Lizzie rethink just how welcoming Wolf Creek is. more  Wild Blues
Beth Kephart. Atheneum/Dlouhy, $17.99 (336p) ISBN 978-1-4814-9153-2 Readers will be entranced by this exceptional offering from National Book Award–finalist Kephart. Lizzie’s mom has been diagnosed with cancer and needs treatment, and she asks her 13-year-old daughter where she wants to spend the summer. Lizzie chooses to be with her uncle Davy at his renovated schoolhouse cabin in the Adirondacks. Despite her worry over her mother, she is excited to spend time with Uncle Davy, a television star who specializes in antiques, and her friend Matias. more  The Ruinous Sweep
Tim Wynne-Jones. Candlewick Press, $18.99 (400p) ISBN 978-0-7636-9745-7 In Wynne-Jones’s tense, eerie thriller that lightly draws from Dante’s Inferno, 17-year-old Donovan lies unconscious in a hospital after a hit-and-run left him gravely injured. His girlfriend, Beatrice, is at his side. While Donovan relives the events leading up to the accident in his mind (or, possibly, an otherworldly in-between place), Bee makes careful notes describing each sound that he utters, hoping to piece together what may have happened. more |

Bologna Report
 Bologna 2018: Middle Grade, Inspiring Women, and Unicorns Unlike the years where YA dystopian trilogies were the talk of the fair, the nature of the conversation has shifted, according to those who attended this year’s Bologna fair. Trends included books for middle graders, nonfiction, stories about strong and inspiring women, and in some cases, titles featuring all of the above. We asked a number of U.S. publishers for their Bologna reflections. more  Figures and Forecasts on China's Children's Book Market Analysis of China's booming children's book landscape took center stage during a forum at Bologna, with plenty of numbers offered as evidence. Since 2002, Chinese children’s publishing has maintained an annual growth rate of more than 10%. more  Bologna 2018: A Talk with Cao Wenxuan As the first Chinese author to receive the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Award (in 2016), Cao Wenxuan is now considered the standard-bearer for Chinese children’s literature, both in his native China and abroad.

Not only did the Bologna Licensing Trade Fair, which runs alongside the book fair, highlight more than 600 properties from 60 exhibitors, but the book fair itself spotlighted licensed titles from a variety of publishers from around the world. more

Q & A
 Jon Burgerman A compulsive doodler, Jon Burgerman has displayed his artwork on social media, posters, apparel, and—with last year's publication of Splat!—in the pages of a children’s book. This week, the publisher is releasing Burgerman’s second picture book, Rhyme Crime, in which a burglar with a knack for rhyming is on the loose. British-born Burgerman, who now lives in Brooklyn, spoke with us about how his love of doodling helped launch a picture book career. Q: Did your penchant for doodling and scribbling serve you well when you began creating picture books? A: I’ve done lots of improvised drawing performances over the years, which I think is pretty similar conceptually to writing. I’m not entirely sure where it’s going to go, and I’m excited to see exactly what will happen. For me, writing is a mix of trying hard and not trying, and letting things float to the surface and magically appear. more

 Whale in a Fishbowl
Troy Howell, illus. by Richard Jones. Schwartz & Wade, $17.99 (42p) ISBN 978-1-5247-1518-2 Wednesday the Whale lives in an enormous glass bowl in the middle of a busy urban interchange. If she leaps upward, she can see an expanse of blue beyond the city. The sight fills her with longing. Humans who watch her desperate leaps misunderstand: “People said she was doing tricks.” Only one, a child named Piper, perceives what Wednesday needs. “You belong in the sea,” she tells Wednesday. more  Out of Left Field
Ellen Klages. Viking, $16.99 (320p) ISBN 978-0-425-288597 Ten-year-old Kathleen Curie Gordon’s knuckling curveball is so good it wins her a Little League tryout—wearing her cap, Katy can pass as a boy. She makes the team but is outed by another player’s parent; it’s 1957 and league rules expressly prohibit girls. When Katy decides to write her history paper on women in baseball, she uncovers a trove of information about female stars and learns a lesson in resistance. more  She Loves You (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah) Ann Hood. Penguin Workshop, $16.99 (256p) ISBN 978-1-5247-8511-6 Bestselling author Hood revisits Beatlemania through her narrator Trudy Mixer, a sixth grader growing up in Rhode Island in 1966. School has been great for Trudy and her best friend, Michelle—that is until Trudy returns from spring break, when everything changes. This charming coming-of-age story acts as a time capsule, offering contemporary readers a glimpse into life in the 1960s while exploring issues young people face in every generation. more  We'll Fly Away
Bryan Bliss. Greenwillow, $17.99 (416p) ISBN 978-0-06-249427-6 Before Luke ended up on death row, he and his best friend Toby dreamed of escaping rural North Carolina in a beat-up crop duster that they discovered in a wooded area. Alternating between third-person chronicles of Luke and Toby’s senior year of high school and Luke’s letters to his friend from behind bars, Bliss weaves together a compelling and raw story. more
