We’ve collected the books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending February 12, 2012–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.
(Debuted at #6 in Children’s Interest) Listen to My Trumpet! by Mo Willems: “Gerald is careful. Piggie is not. Piggie cannot help smiling. Gerald can. Gerald worries so that Piggie does not have to.” (February 2012)
(Debuted at #10 in Hardcover Nonfiction) Once Upon a Secret by Mimi Alford: “In the summer of 1962, nineteen-year-old Mimi Beardsley arrived by train in Washington, D.C., to begin an internship in the White House press office. The Kennedy Administration had reinvigorated the capital and the country—and Mimi was eager to contribute. For a young woman from a privileged but sheltered upbringing, the job was the chance of a lifetime. Although she started as a lowly intern, Mimi made an impression on Kennedy’s inner circle and, after just three days at the White House, she was presented to the President himself.” (February 2012)
(Debuted at #15 in Children’s Illustrated) Amelia Bedelia’s First Valentine by Herman Parish & illustrated by Lynne Avril: “Amelia Bedelia can’t wait. What could be better? Valentine’s Day! Hooray for Valentine’s Day!” (November 2009)
