It is the dawn of the twentieth century. Two young Lithuanian immigrants, Jurgis and Ona, hold their wedding celebration in Packingtown, the heart of Chicago's meatpacking district. According to custom, departing guests should give money to help pay for the party and start the newlyweds off in life. But many guests walk out leaving nothing. Ona worries about the couple's debts, but Jurgis calms her, saying, "I will work harder." Strong and confident, Jurgis begins a job in a meatpacking plant, where he bears the twelve-hour workdays, the repellent and dangerous labor conditions, and the pitifully low pay. But when his family is cheated in a housing swindle, his father is forced to turn over one-third of his pay to the man who hired him. A sprained ankle costs Jurgis his job, the American Dream that inspired him veers into nightmare, and worse is yet to come.

"THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER" GrossyPelosi is your best friend in the kitchen--actually, he's family. In his debut cookbook, larger-than-life personality Dan Pelosi offers up a warm hug of home cooking, sharing both comfort and connection with 101 of his nearest and dearest Italian American recipes. Some have been passed down through his family, and others have been cooked up from scratch--but all are made with love and accompanied by fun, meaningful stories to warm your heart while filling your belly.

Relive the memory of Dan learning how to make his friend's mom's stuffed chicken cutlets in their Jersey Shore house (and getting himself adopted into their family), then level up with Prosciutto & Mozzarella-Stuffed Chicken Parm. Learn how Dan's mom would spring him out of school before the final bell (just to preheat the oven), then make your own Early Dismissal Pot Roast. And rewind to the beginning of Dan's relationship with his boyfriend, Gus, then recreate the Zabaglione (and the romantic Cheesecake Factory ambiance) that inspired their first "I love you." In addition to the staple chapters like Eggs, Appetizers, Pasta, Meat & Fish, and Sweets, you'll also find deep dives on Dough and Marinara, presented with hero recipes you can spin into all kinds of deliciousness. (Don't worry--his viral Vodka Sawce is here!) Also sprinkled throughout are Grossy's Guides to cooking, cleaning, organizing, and everything you need to become intuitive in your kitchen.

It is the mid-seventeenth century in Boston. Hester Prynne, dignified and silent, is led through prison doors to her public shaming by members of the Puritan town.

Pediste una casa especial para tus muñecas, ¡pero el abuelo te dio una caja de herramientas! ¿Qué hacer? Lanzarla al espacio es una mala idea. ¡Tampoco se la des de comer a un Tiranosaurio Rex!

Esta ingeniosa historia celebra la bondad, el trabajo arduo y la comunidad, así como una variedad en la expresión de género: el personaje principal, un niño, participa sin problemas tanto de actividades que podrían considerarse típicas de niñas (jugar con muñecas) como otras típicas de niños (construir con herramientas).

Instead, be patient, pay attention, and you might find that you're pretty handy. And just maybe, with Grandpa's help, you'll get that dollhouse after all. This clever story celebrates kindness, hard work, and community, as well as variety in gender expression.
