Color by Cat Caro. When Marmalade, an ambitious kitten architect, is rejected from designing the new mayor's manor because she's "too adorable," she and other fed-up, capable kitties form their own feline-run construction company in order to be taken seriously in a human-run world. Green's latest graphic novel for young readers contains simple, full-color panels; is tightly plotted; and offers an essential message, especially for little girls.

Color by Cat Caro. In this delightful graphic novel for emergent readers, a hippo joins his friend, a red panda, to seek a better life outside their failing zoo. They sample various professions, literally trying on many hats, before finding their true calling. Clear, direct text and clean, digitally colored graphite illustrations simply and effectively tell this clever story of friendship, professional development, and home improvement.
