From the New York Times best-selling creator of Timmy Failure comes a third adventure about the comically overconfident sleuth.
His name is Failure. Timmy Failure. And his detective agency is on the verge of global domination. Global riches. Global fame. And yet the gods keep throwing him curveballs: for starters, academic probation. The coveted Miracle Report is the key to everything, including a good grade. It’s dirty business. It’s best you know nothing. But one thing is for sure: Timmy Failure will be triumphant again!

In My Heart: A Book of Feelings

Oct 2014 | Abrams | $19.99hb
We are often asked about books to help parents (and grandparents) explain emotions to their children. Some tend to be very simple, others much more complex, but what we like about this beautifully illustrated picture book is the way in which it lyrically explains what an emotion feels like, physically, inside. For example: "When I get really angry, my heart feels like it's going to explode! Don't come near me! My heart is yelling, hot and loud. This is when my heart is mad." Toddlers will be empowered by this new vocabulary and able to practice articulating and identifying their own emotions. On the cover and the right side of each spread, a die-cut heart decreases in size, creating a multi-coloured heart the depth of the entire book.
