He is the singer of Believe in Yourself, the popular theme song of the hit TV show, Arthur. Marley has been a long-time fixture in the children’s entertainment arena. In 2004, he played the role of Ernie, the mischievous jellyfish in the Dreamworks animated smash, Shark Tale, and has made appearances on multiple family and children’s shows including Sesame Street, Dora the Explorer, the 2009 “Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade,” and A Family Is a Family Is a Family: A Rosie O’Donnell Celebration on HBO.

Marley is also an honorary member of the board of directors for Little Kids Rock, an organization that provides free musical instruments and free lessons to children in public schools throughout the United States. From the introduction by Ziggy Marley: “One day I was in my kitchen making breakfast with my then three-year-old daughter Judah. She looked at me and said, ‘I love you.’ I spontaneously replied to her, ‘I love you too.’ From that came the song and now the book based on the lyrics. I hope you share and enjoy this with your loved ones as I have with mine. I love you too.” *A coproduction of Akashic Books and Tuff Gong Worldwide

After posting them on social media, Bruckner became the artist that other parents sought out to transform their own children&’s funny words into artwork. Collected here are 100 mini-posters of pure delight, a marriage of the children&’s surprising wisdom and the artist&’s nimble style, plus the occasional backstory that amplifies both. Every parent will recognize the spirited declarations of personality—&“I&’m training to be a wolf.&” The endearing mangling of language—&“Mommy, I don&’t need your mouth to talk to me right now.&” The creative mixing of metaphors—&“I need a tissue to wipe my feelings.&” Those precious, heartbreaking outbursts without guile or filters—&“I only love you at the toy store.&” Illustrated with sweetness and whimsy, each is a window into the irresistible innocence of childhood, even if the sentiment is &“Dad, please wipe the bum of this beautiful princess.&”

I Love You, Call Me Back
by Sabrina BenaimFrom one of the most-viewed spoken word poets of all time, a poetry collection exploring themes of loneliness, anxiety and longing, while also celebrating the gifts that come with being alone—the chance to live on your own terms, to learn to love yourself without any distractions, and to become your own biggest champion. Over the past few years, Sabrina Benaim toured nonstop across North America and beyond in support of her first book, Depression & Other Magic Tricks, performing, connecting with readers, and leading writing workshops. People constantly thank Sabrina for giving them the confidence and language they needed to acknowledge their own mental health struggles and ask for help, as well as for providing them with a safe refuge. Then, suddenly, Sabrina's long-term relationship ended, the world went into lockdown, and her mother fell ill. Living alone in a different country, with nowhere else to go, Sabrina returned to the page. Unfurling over the course of July 2020—a blisteringly hot month spent in isolation—and in 75 original poems, I Love You, Call Me Back dares to embrace loneliness in all its permutations: the sorrow of getting your mother's voicemail when you call to say "I love you"; the bittersweetness when your dog takes up your ex's side of the bed; the joy of eating ice cream for dinner and singing badly, loudly. Here, Sabrina attempts to work out who she is when nobody else is around, and she comes out the other side with a whole new sense of strength and self-worth. I Love You, Call Me Back is an ode to Sabrina's mom, a celebration of life in the face of so many unknowns, and the cathartic, healing balm we all need right now and for years to come. In her words, "Sometimes self-care is just surviving." And that's okay. Sabrina shows us that there's beauty and courage in that, too.
