    Rumpelstiltskin Reimagined From Mac Barnett And Carson Ellis
    Mar 2 2026
    The follow-up to the highly acclaimed, instant bestseller The Three Billy Goats Gruff The second in the groundbreaking new collection of masterfully retold fairy tales crafted by one of today’s most celebrated and esteemed authors, Mac Barnett, paired with the stunning illustrations of the acclaimed creator, Carson Ellis. Once upon a time there was a clever girl with a not-so-clever father. When her father claims she can spin straw into gold, the king forces the girl to perform this impossible task. She has no other choice than to accept a strange deal from a mysterious little man. But when he arrives and attempts to collect the debt, the fiendish trickster Rumpelstiltskin discovers that he is the one who has been tricked! With Barnett’s signature pacing and wit, his subversive storytelling style and narrative voice, and Ellis’s stunning folk-art style, this retelling of Rumpelstiltskin will introduce this classic story to a new generation of readers! There’s been a number of studies on the importance of fairy tales for kids. They spark imagination and inspire a lifelong love of reading. They showcase problem solving and teamwork skills. They establish a child’s vocabulary through new language acquisition. They teach kids about complex emotions and help readers to develop empathy for a wide range of people—fairy tales are essential to children! Mac wanted to respect the original tale while bringing the ideas presented into the modern age: Mac and Carson are the perfect pairing for RUMPELSTILTSKIN. Carson is a Caldecott Honor winner and a New York Times bestseller. Of creating the art for this stunning book, she says, “Rumpelstiltskin has endured for centuries because it’s a great story—the tale of a magical impish villain, a mistreated maiden, and her ultimate revenge.

    The Daily Mess The Magic Of The Avocado Pit Plus Men Who Fear The Future
    Feb 28 2026
    I’m always asking questions. The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as… Why does putting the avocado pit with the unused crushed avocado keep it from turning brown? Plus…does it make you less of a man to admit to your wife how afraid you are of the future? I’m Arroe… I am a daily writer. A silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate. I call it The Daily Mess. A chronological walk through an everyday world. Yes, it’s my morning writing. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later. When a subject arrives, I dig in. It’s still keeping a journal! By doing the research the picture becomes clearer. This is the Daily Mess…
