As Lizette Serrano, VP of Educational Marketing, says in the first moments of the Spring 2022 Online Preview, the cover of an unopened book is full of hope, anticipation and excitement. Like the cover of an unopened book, our Spring 2022 Preview embodies all of those things for our authors, editors and staff here at Scholastic. We hope that these book talk videos fill you with that same excitement and anticipation!
Over the next few weeks, you’ll hear about all of these books but today, we are talking about Picture Books, including books by Colin Kaepernick, Holly Robinson Peete and Ambassador Andrew Young. You’ll also find a beautiful ode to our planet by Christina Soontornvat, a story of friendship, math and art by Monica Wesolowska and a celebration of the late John Lewis by Andrea Davis Pinkney.
