“With gorgeous mixed-media illustrations and accessible, engaging language, this picture book will spur interest in the world of hippos.” — School Library Journal (starred review) The deadliest animal in Africa isn’t the lion or the crocodile — it’s the hippopotamus! Hippos have razor-sharp tusks, weigh as much as fifty men, and can run twenty-five miles per hour. Follow these hefty hulks as they glide underwater, play tug-of-war, swat balls of dung at one another, and nuzzle their young in the mud. Just don’t get too close — they could chomp you in two!

When the threads that hold human society together unravel, the animal kingdom suffers. Karen Paolillo discovered this first-hand in Zimbabwe when she developed a close connection with thirteen hippos in their natural habitat, the Turgwe River. Her mission to save these exceptional animals after they came under threat of drought, land invasions and poachers developed into a beautiful African love story. It is also the stirring tale of how one woman faced personal and financial adversities while ensuring the survival of a family of hippos, with Bob, a three-ton bull, as their leader. With the establishment of the Turgwe Hippo Trust, Karen has triumphed as guardian of the hippos, and the animals have prospered ever since. A Hippo Love Story shares this heroic journey of a nature lover who became an ally of one of Africa's most fearsome animal species.

Tales of Kaimere is an anthology of fantasy short stories and novellas. All are written and illustrated by Keenan Taylor. These adventure stories explore love and loss, revenge, and coming of age, and include elements of thriller, romance, and horror. Kaimere is a distant planet much like Earth, but with an ecosystem influenced by waves of life taken from our world and introduced to the native magic. This magic is diverse and chaotic, taking the form of calculating forest spirit Indrakai in Trickster's Gambit, the essence of luck that aids Argunite in Koban's Menagerie, or a malicious demon that hunts the protagonists of Spider's Prey. This book includes the four short stories of the paperback edition, and also a hardcover exclusive, Drowned in Water and Blood, which follows Nasiri the Hunter. Each story can be experienced independently, or read in sequence. However you choose, please enjoy this introduction to Kaimere: a realm of wonder, danger, and magic.
