In This Issue

The children's and young adult gift issue is one of my very favorite features to work on. In this issue, we highlight books about art that ask readers to draw directly on the page, guides that teach how to complete "magical" experiments, and nonfiction about the history of dogs as well as zany ways to save the planet. We've also included some incredible fiction: Frances Hardinge and Emily Gravett's The Forest of a Thousand Eyes gives readers a spooky illustrated adventure; Jungyoon Huh and Myungae Lee highlight the beauty of patience and kindness in Late Today. Additionally, authors Elizabeth Eulberg and Jen Calonita talk about their The Taylors series, based on--of course--Taylor Swift, and Lotta Nieminen gives readers a look into creating her interactive Cook in a Book series for toddlers.
