Jasmin's Summer Wish is a picture book about a girl in New York City who wishes for year-round Summer weather. Her wish comes true, and when the hot climate changes the city's environment, Jasmin learns a valuable lesson about the importance of seasons. This is the first children's book to include Sikh characters in an urban setting. We hope this project can contribute really cool characters that Sikh kids in urban communities can identify with. The diverse cast in Jasmin's Summer Wish encourages an inclusive play environment, and the story is one that can be shared and loved by everyone.

In 1928, Massachusetts water authorities began land takings for the construction of the Quabbin Reservoir, in the Swift River Valley. Unknown to the authorities was the fact that, subsisting in the more remote, forested tracts of the valley, there was a secretive band of mixed-race hunter-gatherers who had been there for over ten generations. Mitchell's book is the story of the exodus of this tribe and the young anthropologist who first discovers them. The novel takes the form of a legal deposition, taken at the Everglades City Court House, in 1929, concerning the fate of these people. John Hanson Mitchell (http: //johnhansonmitchell.com/) is the author of Ceremonial Time: Fifteen Thousand Years on Once Square Mile (Counterpoint) and eight other books on cultural and environmental history, the most recent of which is The Paradise of All These Parts, A Natural History of Boston (Beacon Press). He is also the creator and editor of the award-winning magazine, Sanctuary, published by the Massachusetts Audubon Society

Linda Larson's deeply felt poems evoke a specific time and place -- Mississippi in the 1960s - along with more universal truths about family and relationships, the brutality and tenderness we visit upon one another, and the tools with which we must equip ourselves in order to survive.- Joseph P. Kahn, Boston Globe
