In this latest installment of the New York Times bestselling Kitty-Corn series, Kitty and Unicorn are celebrating their very first Christmas together. But when they can’t agree on what makes the season truly special, their perfect day starts to fall apart… until they’re reminded that being together is what matters most.
Holly Jolly Kitty Corn is a heartwarming holiday picture book from beloved bestselling duo Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham. These real-life best friends (and creative powerhouses) once again deliver a story as joyful and genuine as their own long-running partnership.
It is such a fun book to read this holiday season! Children will just love the characters!
This middle-grade novel from RuPaul’s Drag Race star Eureka O’Hara and best-selling author Dan Poblocki is a must-read! This beautiful, buoyant middle-grade novel follows a boy who enters his local Little Miss pageant as a drag queen and shows his town just how fabulous he can be!
I believe it is important that children and adults can be themselves, and I enjoyed reading this story. As more and more legislation is being introduced that limits drag performances in kids’ spaces, this book affirms that drag is for kids, and that everyone benefits from being exposed to such an inclusive and celebratory art form.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Eureka O’Hara started out as a small country child in the heart of East Tennessee. She is known for competing on RuPaul’s Drag Race and as the co-host of We’re Here on HBO. One of O’Hara’s goals is to give people of difference around the world the confidence to go out and live their dreams. O’Hara wrote Jackson Bright in the Spotlight, her debut novel, because she wanted to create something that could have inspired her when she was growing up. As a self-proclaimed Elephant Queen to her fans, O’Hara’s passion for elephants reflects how she perceives herself: a large, majestic big mama. She regards those family-oriented and brilliant pachyderms as the best representation of size-positivity, kindness, and love, and she fights to protect those traits in all of us. She lives in LA.
New York–based Dan Poblocki is an author of mystery, horror, and adventure novels for young people. He is the coauthor with Neil Patrick Harris of the #1 New York Times bestselling series The Magic Misfits (writing under the pen name Alec Azam). He’s also the author of Tales to Keep You Up at Night, The Stone Child, The Nightmarys, the Mysterious Four series, and many more. His books The Ghost of Graylock and The Haunting of Gabriel Ashe were JLG selections and made the American Library Association’s Best Fiction for Young Adults list.
