The Hazards of Hunting While Heartbroken by Mari Passananti: “Zoë Clark thinks her world will implode when her fiancé dumps her on the eve of their splashy wedding. After nearly a decade with her college sweetheart, Zoë feels like a teenager about to be eaten alive by the New York dating scene. And her problems don’t end there.” (July 2011)

Seeing Ezra: A Mothers’ Story of Autism, Unconditional Love, and the Meaning of Normal by Kerry Cohen: “Powerful and eye-opening, this book is an inspirational chronicle of a mother’s struggle to protect her son from a system that seeks to compartmentalize and “fix” him, and of her journey toward accepting and valuing him for who he is—just as he is.” (September 2011)

The Sniffles for Bear by Bonny Becker & illustrated by Kady MacDonald Denton: “Bear has a terrible cold. In fact, Bear is quite sure that no one has ever been as sick as he is. So when Mouse comes tap, tap, tapping on his front door eager to make Bear ‘as good as new’ by reading a sunny story, singing a rousing chorus, and plinking a twangy tune on his banjo, the pitifully coughing Bear–growing weaker by the minute–is convinced that his tiny friend does not appreciate the gravity of the situation. Can there be any saving Bear from his certain demise?” (September 2011)
