Melissa L. Sevigny’s BRAVE THE WILD RIVER (W.W. Norton) appears at #13 on the Mountains and Plains Trade Paperback Nonfiction Bestsellers list for the week ending September 15.
“The caring acts of loved ones are the focus of this first-person work that models how affection can be relayed by actions…Conveying close-up images of family pairs caring for each other, Kuo’s sharply drawn digital illustrations use a graphic style with flat planes of color to suggest a depth of love expressed.”
“With joy and tenderness, Chung and Kuo convey an important truth; young people whose families express love in different ways will feel seen, heard, and embraced…Readers will feel the love—in every well-chosen word and each exquisite image.”
Next Big Idea curators Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Adam Grant, and Daniel Pink have handpicked Cal Newport’s SLOW PRODUCTIVITY (Portfolio) as one of the club’s two favorite nonfiction books of this season.
