Do you have what it takes to be a real witch? Can a whale fit three motorcycles on its jaw? Can a map show you how to plan an adventure? Find these answers and more in books by Gabrielle Balkan, who writes non-fiction that delights readers ages 0-10 with curious and essential facts about the United States, animal record-breakers, ground-breaking artists, and foundational tools, like maps! Plus, this year’s featured book debunks harmful stereotypes while shining a light on an oft-referenced and oft-misunderstood topic: witches! When she’s not revising, Gabrielle loves to cook with fennel, give her dog a bath (not!), and lug her prop box full of dinosaur poop and homemade crystals to schools across the nation.
