Pay for Performance

This is an enchanting little story, with homey illustrations that add to its appeal. It will be particularly reassuring to read aloud on those dark and stormy nights.&#8212;School Library Journal (starred review)The palette of colors is a strong part of the reassuring feeling here...Mother Bear and Sam play out the conventional dance of ritualized bedtime ballets, and her patient largeness as she bends to deliver yet another kiss is a dream of parental love.&#8212;Chicago Tribune

Praise for The Far Empty&ldquo;[J. Todd Scott] has written a story that smartly captures the vast skies, bleak beauty and unchecked wildness of deepest West Texas...fast-moving...Intriguing...a frank, unpolished view of life near the border...[The Far Empty] is an impressive debut&mdash;a memorable story and a rich portrayal of West Texas, a &lsquo;godforsaken place where there's more blood in the ground than water.&rsquo;&rdquo;&mdash;Houston Chronicle&ldquo;Gritty and raw, steeped in violence, this modern Western explores the black heart of the human soul. Excelling in his portrayal of evil, Scott draws a bleak countryside that hides drug running, deceit and murder.&rdquo;&mdash;RT Book Reviews&ldquo;An atmospheric noir about drug runners and crooked West Texas border cops written by an ex&ndash;DEA agent who knows the territory, this debut thriller looks like the real deal&hellip; Scott juggles his cast of heroic, flawed, and monstrous characters with the skill of a far more experienced writer&hellip; Scott is, as they say, one to watch.&rdquo;&mdash;Texas Monthly&ldquo;The rough and bloody borderlands of west Texas provide the backdrop for this rousing debut novel, a hybrid of mystery and contemporary western.&rdquo;&mdash;Atlanta Journal-Constitution&ldquo;[J. Todd Scott]&rsquo;s career starts with a bang.&rdquo;&mdash;El Paso Times&ldquo;This first-time novelist&rsquo;s familiarity with his setting and its habitu&eacute;s shines through on every page.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;Federal agent Scott&rsquo;s knowledge of the border country of West Texas is on fine display in his outstanding debut...Scott&rsquo;s skills as a storyteller are impressive, and his tale of an ambitious young lawman has echoes of the movie Shane and the books of Cormac McCarthy.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review) &ldquo;This thriller sprawls like the West Texas land of its setting, and, like all those arid miles, it&rsquo;s fraught with mystery and echoes of a violent past....Scott tells his story in a style placid on the surface and churning underneath, like water about to boil, and, when it does so, it erupts into a series of fine, violent action scenes.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist&ldquo;Thrilling, suspenseful and psychologically perceptive...Terrific...So well written that you just go with the bloody flow.&rdquo;&mdash;Providence Journal&ldquo;J. Todd Scott's Far Empty is so good I wish I&rsquo;d written it. The poetic and bloody ground of west Texas has given birth to a powerful new voice in contemporary western crime fiction.&rdquo;&mdash;Craig Johnson, New York Times-bestselling author of the Walt Longmire Series &ldquo;J. Todd Scott is the real deal. The Far Empty is an astonishing, accomplished debut crime novel worthy of award consideration.&rdquo;&mdash;Michael McGarrity,&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author &ldquo;A haunting, gritty novel of modern Texas that brings to mind John Sayles's seminal film, Lone Star. As a real-life federal lawman, Scott not only knows the battered terrain but the wounded people who call it home. I loved the authenticity of this forgotten wasteland and the last breaths of the Code of the West.&rdquo;&mdash;Ace Atkins, New York Times Bestselling author of The Innocents&ldquo;Balancing both the brutal and beautiful, J. Todd Scott has delivered a story that hangs around the neck long after the final page. Fearless, searing prose that reeks of honesty, The Far Empty is as gritty and raw as sun-scorched earth.&rdquo;&mdash;David Joy, author of Where All Light Tends to Go&#160;

La Historia de Los Oso Por Baldwin B. Oso

64: Una novela

* "The illustrations are beautifully rendered . . . Understated and inviting, young readers will be entranced by Little Tree&rsquo;s difficult&#160;but ultimately rewarding journey."&mdash;Booklist, starred review"Long&rsquo;s gentle but powerful story about a young tree who holds tight to his leaves, even as everyone else lets theirs drop, takes on nothing less than the pain and sorrow of growing up. Season after season, Little Tree clings to his brown-leaved self until he can take a leap and shed his protection. He feels &lsquo;the harsh cold of winter,&rsquo; but soon grows tall and green, and it&rsquo;s not bad at all. As in Long&rsquo;s unaccountably profound books about Otis the tractor, a pure white background somehow adds to the depth."&mdash;The New York Times Book Review* "[Long's] willingness to take his time and even test the audience&rsquo;s patience with his arboreal hero&rsquo;s intransigence results in an ending that&rsquo;s both a big relief and an authentic triumph. Long&rsquo;s earnest-eloquent narrative voice and distilled, single-plane drawings, both reminiscent of an allegorical pageant, acknowledge the reality of the struggle while offering the promise of brighter days ahead."&mdash;Publishers Weekly, starred review"Long is sparing with the text, keeping it simple and beautifully descriptive. Brilliantly colored illustrations done in acrylic, ink, and pencil stand out on bright white pages, with Little Tree taking the center position in each double-page spread. Tender and gentle and altogether lovely."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews"Children will see the tree facing the scariness of change; adult readers may well feel wistful as the story underscores the need to let their babies grow toward independence.&#160;Beautiful. Grade: A"&mdash;Cleveland Plain Dealer&#160;
