LAST OF THE AMERICAN GIRLS HC
(W) Washington Irving (A) Gris Grimly
From Green Day and co-authored and illustrated by artist Frank Caruso, comes a timely, inspiring illustrated rendition of the Grammy winning band's classic hit "Last of the American Girls," the song Rolling Stone called "a fabulous left-wing love song to a rebel girl..." One of the most important and influential artists of their generation, the high-energy rock band Green Day has continued to inspire millions of fans worldwide with their music, political views, and iconoclastic conviction. Now, they transform their Billboard hit "Last of the American Girls" into a full-color illustrated book of the song's lyrics. Celebrating true rebel girls - - girls who push back, girls who use their voice, girls who say no - Last of the American Girls takes on both the establishment and the upwardly mobile, espousing an infectious spirit that has never been more relevant.
WORLD ACCORDING TO STAR WARS SC
(W) Cass R. Sunstein (A) Gris Grimly
There's Santa Claus, Shakespeare, Mickey Mouse, The Bible, and then there's Star Wars. Nothing quite compares to sitting down with a young child and hearing the sound of John Williams' score as those beloved golden letters fill the screen. In this fun, erudite, and often moving book, Cass R. Sunstein explores the lessons of Star Wars as they relate to childhood, fathers, the Dark Side, rebellion, and redemption. Ultimately, Sunstein argues, Star Wars is about freedom of choice and our never-ending ability to make the right decision when the chips are down.
