Caldecott Medalist David Small lovingly shows us the heart of Russell Hoban’s classic. The mouse and his child are wind-up toys forever joined at the hands. But when the mechanism breaks they are discarded, separated from the dollhouse where they lived and the toy elephant that the child calls “mother” (much to her chagrin). Thus begins the suspenseful journey that is heartbreaking, harrowing, and ultimately joyful as the mice seek what seems at first to be impossible: independence (self-winding) and the way back home.

Bela Misses Her TrainRaina Telgemeier’s #1 New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning companion to Smile!
Raina can’t wait to be a big sister. But once Amara is born, things aren’t quite how she expected them to be. Amara is cute, but she’s also a cranky, grouchy baby, and mostly prefers to play by herself. Their relationship doesn’t improve much over the years, but when a baby brother enters the picture and later, something doesn’t seem right between their parents, they realize they must figure out how to get along. They are sisters, after all.
Raina uses her signature humour and charm in both present-day narrative and perfectly placed flashbacks to tell the story of her relationship with her sister, which unfolds during the course of a road trip from their home in San Francisco to a family reunion in Colorado.
