"With whimsical illustrations and relatable prose, When We Stayed Home is a reminder of how young children navigated big feelings and cheered themselves on during the upheaval of the Covid-19 pandemic. Honoring their role as "super helpers" they made sure to wash their hands, wear masks, social distance, and stay home. With the family dog as a trusty sidekick, the super-helper in When We Stayed Home builds virus-free forts, decorates toilet paper-shaped cookies, enjoys screen visits and dance parties with family and friends, and relies on resourcefulness, creativity, and imagination to weather the virus storm. Young children will recognize their own experiences and emotions as they see another child paint endless pictures and draw chalk art, read books and do puzzles, wave "hello" to masked neighbors, play under a bluer-than-usual sky, and feel all the feelings as they miss school, playgrounds, and friends and family while staying in their own houses. When We Stayed Home was inspired by Judy Proffer's resilient five year-old nephew, who continued to find moments of comfort and mirth in home, nature, adventures, and activities even while longing for the virus to go far, far away and by co-author and licensed family and marriage therapist Tara Fass's work with families to maneuver the bumpy road of the pandemic with tools, optimism, and hope. This gentle book serves as a time capsule for an uncertain time, celebrates the gifts of family, home, imagination and love, and honors the true heroes of covid" --

In Fowl Play, A Novel in Three Acts author and notable drama critic Steven Leigh Morris weaves his two great passions in life: the theater and barnyard poultry. As print media crashes down around him, veteran theater critic Seth Jacobson hatches a flock of chickens and negotiates a fragile pact with his neighbors (and his sanity) to house them in the garden of his Hollywood condominium. In the throes of professional and personal erosion (his Russian wife has left California for her homeland, apparently never to return), Seth clings to his three hens and one noisy aggressive rooster as family and objects of his unyielding devotion. In this complex fantasy and comedic microcosm of global conflict, all creatures (some with wit, some with wings), seek refuge in an acrimonious and often violent world. "A wryly funny, deftly written and tangibly absurdist novel of urban angst." - Charles Isherwood, drama critic at The New York Times "Morris has been one of the prime forces animating the maturing of the local theatre scene." - The Hollywood Reporter "Fowl Play starts at a small Los Angeles theater and ends up in a forest, an in between Steven Leigh Morris spins one of the most oddly compelling tails of obsession, midlife crisis and exurban anomie I've read. Though it defies genre, it's kind of a love story, and kind of family drama and definitely a kind of satire." - Rob Weinert-Kendt, American Theatre editor Essayist and theater critic Steven Leigh Morris is the Executive Director of LA STAGE Alliance and founding editor of digital arts venture Stage Raw. A true leader in Los Angeles theater, Morris has been writing for alternative newsweekly LA WEEKLY since 1988. In 2012 Morris chaired the jury for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and he is the recipient of the Critic of the Year prize by the National Entertainment Journalism Awards for his work with LA WEEKLY. His play Beachwood Drive was produced in Los Angeles and off Broadway.

A long, long time ago... ...in a small town, there lived a lonely newspaper boy. So begins this heartfelt story inspired by one of the most iconic works of American rock-n-roll. Don McLean's American Pie: A Fable weaves elements and themes from the classic song with experiences from the singer-songwriter's own early years into a stunningly visual and uplifting tale for all ages. This fable reveals the emotional journey of a newspaper delivery boy in the late 1950s who discovers the joy of friendship and music, eventually learning that when you recognize what truly makes you happy, you're never really alone. Released in 1971, "American Pie" was named one of the top five songs of the century by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Recording Industry Association of America and the original recording was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or artistically significant." Lushly illustrated and poetically written with numerous nods to the nostalgic themes and cryptic lyrics of the beloved song, Don McLean's American Pie: A Fable is a picture book McLean says he hopes will become a bedtime standard for families. Whether you read this as a prequel to the musical masterwork, or as a tale of growing up, or as a beautiful exploration of finding inspiration, Don McLean's American Pie: A Fable will both enhance the song for fans of Don McLean and introduce a world of imagination to young readers who have not yet experienced this generation-defining music.
