If you follow the site or the podcast then you know that I'm a pretty big fan of everything that First Second Books publishes. Everything that I've checked out has been a hit and so I'm very excited about this Winter (aka early next year) list because some favorite titles are returning, but also some new titles from some of my favorite creators. Check out the full pdf below, but here's the cheat sheet version:
