During my career as a high school English teacher, I had the privilege of teaching many students who had been taught by Mrs. Oliver in fourth or fifth grade. They spoke of her enthusiasm and her love for teaching them writing and how it inspired them throughout their years in school. Turning the pages of this delightful and informative book is like viewing through a kaleidoscope a diverse array of animals in their natural habitats spanning the globe. Mrs. Oliver creatively merges her firsthand experiences, encounters, and knowledge that she gained from her travels throughout the world with her own charming paintings of these magnificent creatures. --Wendy M. Lewis, MA English instructor at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia What a pleasure it is to read about the latest adventures of our penguin friends, Ollie and Mollie! Mrs. Oliver was one of the wonderful teachers I was blessed to have when I was in elementary school, and I have to smile when I think about how after all these years, she is still teaching me new things! Mrs. Oliver was an amazing teacher then, and she continues to be one to this day! I can't wait to share this story with my own pre-K students. Not only will they learn fun facts about animals from all parts of this amazing world in which we live but also their little eyes will get a treat when looking at Mrs. Oliver's beautiful animal paintings. --Rebecca Matney Uenking, pre-kindergarten teacher, Virginia Beach City Public School System 34

Writer and artist Susan Eaton Mendenhall realizes that she has been defined by the places she has lived. Her various homes have each set her on a path to discover something about herself, none more so than the house she named Simplicity. Mendenhall and her husband, Don, were newly married when they moved into the century-old American Foursquare that had recently been converted back into a single home after serving as apartments for a number of years. The house needed attention and care; it was aching to be restored to its original purpose—a place to support the hopes and dreams of a family, a place to be someone's home. This collection of personal stories is about a house that supported the Mendenhalls in their quest to find home by presenting abundant opportunities for growth and enrichment. The house named Simplicity was wise beyond its years, and it became a teacher and partner to the Mendenhalls as they explored their changing lives together, developing over time an intimacy with the spaces of Simplicity that made the house a true home. As readers enter Simplicity’s rooms and stories, they are given the opportunity to discover more about their relationship with the places they call home.

Art was my dearest friend. To draw was trouble and safety, adventure and freedom. In that four-cornered kingdom of paper, I lived as I pleased. This is the story of a girl and her sketchbook. In language that is fresh, visceral, and deeply moving—and illustrations that are irreverent and gorgeous—here is a memoir that will change the way you think about art, sex, politics, and survival in our times. From a young age, Molly Crabapple had the eye of an artist and the spirit of a radical. After a restless childhood on New York's Long Island, she left America to see Europe and the Near East, a young artist plunging into unfamiliar cultures, notebook always in hand, drawing what she observed. Returning to New York City after 9/11 to study art, she posed nude for sketch artists and sketchy photographers, danced burlesque, and modeled for the world famous Suicide Girls. Frustrated with the academy and the conventional art world, she eventually landed a post as house artist at Simon Hammerstein's legendary nightclub The Box, the epicenter of decadent Manhattan nightlife before the financial crisis of 2008. There she had a ringside seat for the pitched battle between the bankers of Wall Street and the entertainers who walked among them—a scandalous, drug-fueled circus of mutual exploitation that she captured in her tart and knowing illustrations. Then, after the crash, a wave of protest movements—from student demonstrations in London to Occupy Wall Street in her own backyard—led Molly to turn her talents to a new form of witness journalism, reporting from places such as Guantanamo, Syria, Rikers Island, and the labor camps of Abu Dhabi. Using both words and artwork to shed light on the darker corners of American empire, she has swiftly become one of the most original and galvanizing voices on the cultural stage. Now, with the same blend of honesty, fierce insight, and indelible imagery that is her signature, Molly offers her own story: an unforgettable memoir of artistic exploration, political awakening, and personal transformation.
