Finally, the much-anticipated sequel to Kate & Pippin: An Unlikely Love Story, which stole the hearts of kids, parents, and teachers everywhere. Now the true story continues. And it includes more than Kippin, the deer, and Kate, the Great Dane who nurtured her when she was a fawn. Because now Kippin always brings her fawns with her on visits from the forest to hang out with Kate -- and to visit Henry the cat and another Great Dane in the family, too. The first book, which School Library Journal called "a fine addition to nonfiction collections and useful for themed storytimes on friendships," won the 2013 Blue Spruce Award, the 2013 Shining Willow Award, and the 2013 Colorado Book Award. It was featured on the television programs and stations Animal Planet, National Geographic, PBS Nature, and Good Morning America, and many others. Featuring beautiful full-color photographs by Isobel Springett, who rescued Pippin when she found the fawn without a mother.

It all started with the best of intentions. Kate McDolen, an elementary school teacher, knew she had to protect one of her students, little 8-year-old Mistie, from parents who were making her life a living hell. So Kate packed her bags, quietly picked up Mistie after school one day, and set off with her toward what she thought would be a new life. How could she know she was driving headlong into a nightmare? The nightmare began when Tony jumped into the passenger seat of Kate's car, waving a gun. Tony was a dangerous girl, more dangerous than anyone could have dreamed. She didn't admire anything except violence and cruelty, and she had very different plans in mind for Kate and little Mistie. The cross-country trip that followed would turn into a one-way journey to fear, desperation... and madness.

From writer Holly M. McGhee and illustrator Pascal Lemaitre, the bestselling creative team behind Come with Me and Listen, comes a story of hope, abundance, and the unfailing possibilities the world holds. The friends thought it a wonder— winter white flakes a gift from the sky. They let them land . . . the snow melting against their warmth. The friends could sit there forever, just like that— watching what the world could make. Bunny and Rabbit are kindred spirits who celebrate the gifts of the seasons together—from the smell of lilacs to the wonder of gingko leaves, from the taste of sea pickles to the silent beauty of the first snowflakes melting against their warmth. What the World Could Make is a joyous reminder that if we pay attention, hope can always be found in our friendships, in nature, and in generosity toward one another.

In this bold new book, Linda McClain offers a liberal and feminist theory of the relationships between family life and politics--a topic dominated by conservative thinkers. McClain agrees that stable family lives are vital to forming persons into capable, responsible, self-governing citizens. But what are the public values at stake when we think about families, and what sorts of families should government recognize and promote? Arguing that family life helps create the virtues and character required for citizenship, McClain shows that the connection between family self-government and democratic self-government does not require the deep-laid gender inequality that has historically accompanied it. Examining controversial issues in family law and policy--among them, the governmental promotion of heterosexual marriage and the denial of marriage to same-sex couples, the regulation of family life through welfare policy, and constitutional rights to reproductive freedom--McClain argues for a political theory of the family that embraces equality, defends rights as facilitating responsibility, and supports families in ways that respect men's and women's capacities for self-government.
