Every child loves to imagine impossible situations that just might happen—and in What If?, they do! What if you woke up in the morning, and your parents weren't there, and the cat cooked breakfast? Would you have to eat cat food? And you met a dragon on the way to school, and you had a battle? And at school you found acrobats instead of teachers? Joanna Walsh invents a day to suit the wildest fantasies of any child, and her dazzling, color-saturated crayon-and-collage illustrations are an absolute feast for young eyes.

The Biggest Kiss

Abbot, Judi

scholastic

Fiction. Women's Studies. "Joanna Walsh's haunting and unforgettable stories enact a literal vertigo—the feeling that if I fall I will fall not toward the earth but into space—by probing the spaces between things. Waiting for news in a children's hospital, pondering her husband's multiple online flirtations or observing the tourists and locals at a third-world archeological site, her narrator approaches the suppressed state of panic coursing beneath things that are normally tamed by our blunted perceptions of ordinary life. VERTIGO is an original and breathtaking book."—Chris Kraus "With wry humor and profound sensitivity, Walsh takes what is mundane and transforms it into something otherworldly with sentences that can make your heart stop. A feat of language."—Kirkus, starred review "Walsh's penetrating short story collection evokes the titular feeling of dizziness... these stories offer a compelling pitch into the inner life."—Publishers Weekly
