Happy July from EMLA! How's the heat? Stay cool with these delightful books—two picture books, one debut novel—out this month from three of our fabulous authors.

Flying the Dragon by Natalie Dias Lorenzi is a heartfelt story of two cultures, two kids, and kite fighting, published by Charlesbridge.

Think Big by Liz Garton Scanlon introduces a cast of creative kids putting on a pageant in which no one gets left out or left idle, published by Bloomsbury.

Time (Out) for Monsters by Jean Reidy shows us how an imaginative little boy spruces up his time out corner and has loads of fun in the process, published by Disney-Hyperion.

We wish these books into readers' hearts!
