Book Description:
Letters From My Sister began with a simple letter about a bad job interview or a bad hair day, seeking comfort from hundreds of miles away. One letter plus its response became two, two became four, and four became one hundred and twenty over the course of a year in which Faye approaches college graduation in Chicago while Eve establishes her career in New York City.
Through their correspondence, the Ledermans relate stories and reveal secrets in a way that only sisters can—with a raw openness and honesty derived from a lifetime of shared experiences that surpasses the bond of best friends. By exposing their foibles and fears, each reveals glimpses of real life, both silly and serious.
While their stories are personal, the book’s themes are universal and offer perspective on larger issues. The sisters confront their femininity, but they are not confined by it; rather, they use it as a prism to critique many aspects of modern society. As the authors trade beauty secrets and hair removal nightmares, they simultaneously criticize the social construction of female beauty and laugh at themselves for buying into it. Faye finds a Russian waxing woman who nearly renders her bald, and Eve tracks down the eccentric inventor of the “Tweezerman” that is “so precise it can pluck in the dark.” Gender roles, career choices and family relationships are all fair game, subject to intense scrutiny, and as a result, hilarity.
With a biting sense of humor, the Ledermans laugh long and hard at both their successes and failures. They learn to love their silly, imperfect and often self-absorbed selves, enticing readers to do the same.

Book Description:
Barcelona Smith has never been one to take risks. He keeps himself at a safe distance from life’s dangers—flowers and cuddly pets included. But one humid day—BOING!—his hair goes bonkers! Strands uncoil, curls unkink, and follicles foop. But that’s not all. His wild hair skates down sidewalks, climbs trees, and stomps in mud puddles—all the fun Barcelona’s never thought to have. And by the time his wacky new ’do is done romping through the day, Barcelona decides that when fun is at stake, risks are sometimes, well . . . worth the risk.
The undeniable wit and whimsy of Keith Graves (Too Many Frogs!) are in full force with this kooky new book that children are going to love.
