This Friday: Meet Three Bestselling Authors in Palo Alto

What’s New at Linden Tree

Flo,

This is a BIG week for new releases (new Amulet! new Escargot!), so I'll keep it brief and let you scroll down for all the new books.

But don’t forget our Lunar New Year party this Friday night in downtown Palo Alto with Gene Luen Yang, LeUyen Pham, and Abigail Hing Wen. We’ll have food, fun, and a fantastic conversation with THREE bestselling authors. Get your tickets now »

📚 Books I’m looking forward to this week: Shawn Harris has illustrated some of my favorite picture books (Everyone’s Awake, Have You Ever Seen a Flower?) and The Teeny-Weeny Unicorn is another gem. The teeny-weeny unicorn is so small his siblings use him as a pawn in their chess games, but when he runs away and accidentally smashes a gnome’s car with his “giant” hoof... hmm, maybe he’s not as small as he thought! Meanwhile, I’m very curious about Fourteen Days. Billed as a “collaborative novel, it’s set in a New York apartment building at the beginning of the pandemic and each character is written by a different author. It’s a star-studded list with Margaret Atwood, John Grisham, Celeste Ng, Tommy Orange, and dozens more.

See you at the store,

Chris

Stephanie V.W. Lucianovic

In Conversation with Joanna Ho

Thursday, February 15 at 6pm

Remember those early days of shelter-in-place where we didn't get out of our pajamas all day and adults started baking all the things?

Well, that's the theme for our book launch on Thursday, February 15 at 6pm for Stephanie V.W. Lucianovic’s Hummingbird Season: getting as cozy as possible while talking about this wonderful middle grade verse novel about how Archie finds hope during shelter-in-place amidst the frustrations and loneliness of distance learning and the weirdness of home haircuts.

So come show us your cozy couture (and there might actually be some baked things to nosh)! Stephanie will be joined in conversation with another of our favorite local authors, Joanna Ho.
