Gooden's superb engravings were first published in 1936 in a limited edition.

Facing Frederick: The Life of Frederick Douglass, A Monumental American Man
by Tonya BoldenThe fascinating biography of one of America’s most influential African American voices from the award–winning author of Speak Up, Speak Out!Teacher. Self-emancipator. Orator. Author. Man. Frederick Douglass (1818–1895) is one of the most important African American figures in US history, best known, perhaps, for his own emancipation. But there is much more to Douglass’s story than his time spent in slavery and his famous autobiography. Delving into his family life and travel abroad, this book captures the whole complicated, and at times perplexing, person that he was. As a statesman, suffragist, writer, newspaperman, and lover of the arts, Douglass the man, rather than the historical icon, is the focus in Facing Frederick.“Most folks know Frederick Douglass as an escaped slave turned abolitionist. Bolden’s insightful, and impeccably researched, biography reveals, instead, a multifaceted man who would travel many paths and constantly redefine himself . . . Bolden’s beautiful, sophisticated narrative demonstrates that throughout all of his responsibilities, Douglass never lost sight of his biggest role—humanitarian.” —Booklist (starred review)“This narrative about a well-known figure feels fresh due to Bolden’s skilled storytelling . . . A spirited biography that fully honors its redoubtable subject.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“Bolden successfully demonstrates in this biography how monumental a figure Frederick Douglass is in U.S. history . . . Bolden adroitly demonstrates the wealth of Douglass’s life and accomplishments with this stellar biography.

Facts vs. Opinions vs. Robots
by Michael RexA hilarious, timely conversation about the differences between facts and opinions, by the creator of the #1 New York Times bestseller Goodnight GoonDo you know the difference between a fact and an opinion? It can be a hard thing to understand. Some things are facts--like the number of robots in this book. Other things are opinions--like which robot would make the best friend, or which robot dances best. And sometimes to tell the difference between a fact and an opinion, you need to wait to get more information--that's because facts can be proven true or false, and opinions are things you feel and believe--but that you can't prove. Mike Rex introduces young readers to the very important distinction between facts and opinions, and he reminds us that it is nice to listen to one another's opinions, and to stand up for the facts!
