From singer, actress, and dancer Vanessa Williams comes a sweet, sparkling story about a young girl whose beloved pet fish has wonderful, magical powers. She gives me bubble kisses, bubble kisses as she swims by in the water. She never misses with her bubble kisses. And I'm so glad I got her. A young girl adores her goldfish, Sal. But Sal is no ordinary pet: while she can't fetch a ball or curl up on a lap, she can give bubble kisses that transform the girl into a mermaid and transport her to a world of underwater adventures. There, beneath the sea, they play, sing, and dance with other mermaids. The catchy, breezy, rhymed tale is perfect for bedtime, and the book includes a CD plus a link to a digital download.
Los Angeles native Vanessa Seder lived in Brooklyn and Boston before she landed in Maine—a place where this chef, food stylist, and recipe developer learned to love the culinary upside of raising a family in a place where it’s so cold, for so long. In this book, Seder shares seventy-five of her favorite recipes that take the edge off any chill, from long, slow braises and simmers perfect for a winter afternoon at home to weeknight meals that draw on ingredients and nutrients that will power you and your family through a cold snap to recipes and menus for holidays and cozy gatherings. The book also includes recipes for sweets like homemade caramels and invigorating grapefruit-flavored cookies; warm drinks like teas, toddies, and several versions of hot chocolate; and pantry staples like marmalades and flavored salts. The style and imagery of the book is bright and inviting, designed to combat any winter blues. Warm Your Bones is perfect for at-home cooks who have an interest in international cuisines, for those who practice hygge, and for individuals who generally enjoy the coziness of winter.
