Kate O'Sullivan is bold, quick-tongued, and not the sort of girl to wait quietly while Crookhaven falls into trouble. When the witch of the village loses her horse and disaster begins to spread, Kate's attempt to set things right pulls her whole family into royal trouble.
O'Sullivan Stew is a rollicking Irish-flavored tale full of mischief, magic, and storytelling nerve. Kate has to rely on courage, imagination, and a generous helping of blarney as she talks her way through danger. Readers who like funny folklore, clever heroines, horses, witches, and larger-than-life adventures will find this picture book bright, fast-moving, and full of personality.

Two children enter the woods hungry, tired, and far from help. In Beni Montresor’s vivid retelling of Hansel and Gretel, the familiar Grimm fairy tale becomes a shadowy stage of forests, fear, and temptation, where a bright-looking place may hide real danger. Hansel and Gretel must rely on quick thinking, courage, and the bond between them as the path home grows more frightening. This is a picture-book version for readers who can enjoy a classic tale with darker edges: suspenseful but beautifully crafted, with bold illustrations that make the story feel both old and startlingly new. It is especially appealing to children who like fairy tales, brave siblings, and witches who are not played for laughs.
