A moving picture book from a debut author about the first day of school, layered with themes about the immigrant experience and the universal experience of feeling out of place.A child, newly arrived in another country, feels displaced, lonely, and a little scared on her first day of school. Her name doesn't sound the way she's used to hearing it. She knows she doesn't fit in. And when she eats her whole tomato for lunch, she can feel her classmates observing her--and not quite understanding her. But sometimes all it takes is one friend, one connection, to bring two worlds together, and gradually the girl, her tomato, and her full name, start to feel at home with her new friends and community. This emotionally sweeping debut picture book by Costantia Manoli, with vibrant art by Magdalena Mora, artfully captures feelings of displacement and the joy that comes from forging new friendships.

Unlock the secret code of cats for a deeper connection with the feline in your life. Why does my cat always want to sleep on my computer keyboard? How can I keep her from bullying the dog? This used to be her favorite food, but now she won't touch it Why will she only drink from the bathroom faucet? Does she actually like me? If you've ever wondered, as she sits on your head at 4am, what on earth is going on beyond your cat's inscrutable gaze, this book has the answers. Drawing on extensive animal behavior psychology and the latest research, it reveals what's really behind those things cats do--whether they're amusing, irritating, or just downright bizarre.

With gorgeous and accurate illustrations across a range of breeds, this book helps you read and interpret your cat's body language a
