In this lyrical picture book, readers follow one boy through his life as he returns to the seashore beside his home. The boy likes to think, and his thoughts turn into questions. He brings these questions to the sea. At times, he thinks he can hear the sea whisper to him: Dream. Love. Be. So he does. He dreams—a young boy imagining all that he might do. He loves—a teenager, reaching out from a lonely place to make friends. He allows himself to just be—now grown, sharing the seashore with his daughter. A celebration of quiet curiosity, THE BOY AND THE SEA invites readers to ask questions and live their way into the answers.

His mortal enemies, the Craborzi, have cloned him and are using these copies to produce an intergalactic reality show called The Abominable Emperor—killing a clone in every episode! Even worse, his parents want him to take out the garbage!
A movement that started with a hashtag—#BlackLivesMatter—on Twitter spread across the nation and then across the world. From one of the co-founders of the Black Lives Matter movement comes a poetic memoir and reflection on humanity. Necessary and timely, Patrisse Cullors’ story asks us to remember that protest in the interest of the most vulnerable comes from love. Leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement have been called terrorists, a threat to America. But in truth, they are loving women whose life experiences have led them to seek justice for those victimized by the powerful. Now, the New York Times bestseller is adapted for the YA audience with new material and reader questions plus photos, journal notes, lyrics, doodles, and more!
