Worlds collide in a spectacular way when Newbery and National Book Award finalist Kathi Appelt and Pulitzer Prize nominee and #1 New York Times bestseller Alison McGhee team up to create a fantastical, heartbreaking, and gorgeous tale about two sisters, a fox cub, and what happens when one of the sisters disappears forever. Sylvie and Jules, Jules and Sylvie. Better than just sisters, more than best friends, they’d be identical twins if only they’d been born in the same year. And if only Sylvie wasn’t such a fast—faster than fast—runner. But Sylvie is too fast, and when she runs to the river they’re not supposed to go anywhere near to throw a wish rock just before the school bus comes on a snowy morning, she runs so fast that no one sees what happens…and no one ever sees her again. Jules is devastated, but she refuses to believe what all the others believe, that—like their mother—her sister is gone forever. At the very same time, in the shadow world, a shadow fox is born—half of the spirit world, half of the animal world. She too is fast—faster than fast—and she senses danger. She’s too young to know exactly what she senses, but she knows something is very wrong. And when Jules believes one last wish rock for Sylvie needs to be thrown into the river, the human and shadow worlds collide. Writing in alternate voices—one Jules’s, the other the fox’s—Kathi Appelt and Alison McGhee tell the searingly beautiful tale of one small family’s moment of heartbreak, a moment that unfolds into one that is epic, mythic, shimmering, and most of all, hopeful.

Maybe a Fox

An otherworldly fox is born to help eleven-year-old Jules, who is grieving over the death of her sister.

This book is an answer to children that requested books about animals, which live in their neighbourhood, be made available for them. They also requested that the autobiographical style be used because they felt that it would be easier to understand. There is a space between the print and the picture. This was done so that the children with learning disabilities will not be hindered or distracted by pictures close to the words. The pictures can easily be covered. As children explore the life cycle of a fox, they will also identify with the settings and the tale of an animal growing up. I Am a Fox is the second in a series of stories that explore the life cycles of various animals that populate the Canadian Boreal forest. The author intends to write ten books dealing with northern dwelling animals to complete this series. The books will be written in the same format but will feature the works of different artists working in their chosen mediums.

Crazy Like a Fox

Look at the Boy That Looks Like a Fox is for and about every child that's ever said, "Watch me do this!" It's about a boy who, like all of us, wants to be seen and known; a boy who, even though he is fast as a fox and as clever as a fox and so very much like a fox, is not actually a fox but only a boy with mischievous eyes. ...Or maybe that's just what a sly fox would want you to think.

Look at the Boy That Looks Like a Fox

This Caldecott Honor book from beloved illustrator Peter Spier is a spirited take on a classic American folk song. "[Spier's] finely detailed, action-packed New England autumn vistas are almost startlingly beautiful."—The New York Times Over fifty years after he won a Caldecott Honor for The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night, legendary illustrator Peter Spier went back to this time-honored favorite in 2014 to paint the half of the book that was originally printed in black and white. In this glowing, restored vision of Spier’s beloved classic, follow the wily fox as he roams a sleepy New England town in search of a meal, with tones and textures so vivid you can almost hear the crackle of crisp fall leaves and the ripples of the river in the moonlight.
