For fans of the Don't Let the Pigeon series! Marigold is throwing himself the most amazing birthday party ever! He's baked himself an enormous birthday cake and planned everything well in advance. Everyone is ready for something extraordinary. Something...magical! But when Marigold tries to make a bouquet of flowers disappear, a pesky finch appears in its place. That's not right at all! At every turn, Marigold's magic trick gets derailed until the distractions are too much to bear, and Marigold launches into a full-on feline frenzy, making everything--and everyone--disappear. What magic words can save the day? Mike Malbrough has conjured yet another magical addition to the great tradition of interruption books. Perfect for fans of Mo Willems' Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and David Ezra Stein's Interrupting Chicken.
Urban Alchemy
Mindy Thompson Fullilove presents ways to strengthen neighborhood connectivity and empower marginalized communities through investigation of urban segregation from a social heath perspective. "Fullilove passionately demonstrates how, through an urbanity of inclusion, we can heal our fractured cities to make them whole again. What if divided neighborhoods were causing public health problems? What if a new approach to planning and design could tackle both the built environment and collective well-being at the same time? What if cities could help each other? Dr. Mindy Thompson Fullilove, the acclaimed author of Root Shock, uses her unique perspective as a public health psychiatrist to explore and identify ways of healing social and spatial fractures simultaneously. Using the work of French urbanist Michel Cantal-Dupart and the American urban design firm Rothschild Doyno Collaborative as guides as well as urban restoration projects from France and the US as exemplary cases, Fullilove identifies nine tools that can mend our broken cities and reconnect our communities to make them whole.

Archaeologies of Violence and Privilege
Violence is rampant in today's society. From state-sanctioned violence and the brutality of war and genocide to interpersonal fighting and the ways in which social lives are structured and symbolized by and through violence, people enact terrible things on other human beings almost every day. In Archaeologies of Violence and Privilege, archaeologists Christopher N. Matthews and Bradley D. Phillippi bring together a collection of authors who document the ways in which past social formations rested on violent acts and reproduced violent social and cultural structures. The contributors present a series of archaeological case studies that range from the mercury mines of colonial Huancavelica (AD 1564-1824) to the polluted waterways of Indianapolis, Indiana, at the turn of the twentieth century--a problem that disproportionally impacted African American neighborhoods. The individual chapters in this volume collectively argue that positions of power and privilege are fully dependent on forms of violence for their existence and sustenance.

Warren and Dragon are setting out on their most unspooky, totally normal, not-scary-at-all adventure yet...their first sleepover! Warren is a seven-year-old boy and Dragon is part stuffed animal, part fierce dragon, part best friend--depending on what part you believe most.
