      Kniha malířky Elle Lunové navazuje na virál, který se do světa rozšířil rychlostí světla a motivoval tisíce lidí k přehodnocení životních priorit. Kniha kombinuje jednoduchý, ale hluboký text, s malířčinými obrazy, obrázky a malovanými nápisy. Každý den se rozhodujeme o maličkostech i důležitých věcech a pokaždé máme novou možnost volby. Můžeme se vydat známou cestou anebo zkusit něco úplně nového, změnit práci, přestěhovat se nebo změnit celý svůj přístup k životu. Elle Lunová vám ukáže, jak na to. To nejlepší, co můžete při svém rozhodování udělat, je vnímat svůj vnitřní hlas a poslechnout ho. Když se vám bude dařit poslouchat své srdce, můžete žít život podle sebe a ne podle toho, jak by se to líbilo partnerovi, mamince, babičce, dětem… nebo podle toho, co je společensky „správně“.

    • A powerful study in introspection, inheritance, and the manifestation of hypochondria by a talented indie cartoonist. Beautifully illustrated and poignantly told, the author investigates the guilt they carry as a young Filipino person born into a family that benefited from the Marcos regime, and how that materializes within the physical body." Cicatrix is beautiful and deeply honest, a clear-eyed look at something strange and unexplainable―family, harm, guilt, and our own fragile bodies." – Eleanor Davis, The Hard Tomorrow2022 Broken Frontier Award Best One-Shot

      “Make a way out of no way” is just the way of life for Rue. But when her mother is shot dead on her doorstep, life for her and her younger sister changes forever. Rue's taken from her neighborhood by the father she never knew, forced to leave her little sister behind, and whisked away to Ghizon—a hidden island of magic wielders.Rue is the only half-god, half-human there, where leaders protect their magical powers at all costs and thrive on human suffering. Miserable and desperate to see her sister on the anniversary of their mother’s death, Rue breaks Ghizon’s sacred Do Not Leave Law and returns to Houston, only to discover that Black kids are being forced into crime and violence. And her sister, Tasha, is in danger of falling sway to the very forces that claimed their mother’s life.Worse still, evidence mounts that the evil plaguing East Row is the same one that lurks in Ghizon—an evil that will stop at nothing until it has stolen everything from her and everyone she loves. Rue must embrace her true identity and wield the full magnitude of her ancestors’ power to save her neighborhood before the gods burn it to the ground.

    • An original novel written by New York Times best-selling author J. Elle inspired by Disney upcoming live action reimagining of The Little Mermaid. After the death of Ariel’s mother, the queen of the sea, the seven daughters of King Triton have grown estranged at best. It’s been years since Ariel’s older sisters have visited home. But this year’s Coral Moon is fast approaching, and it’s a special one for Ariel. Finally fifteen, she will be dubbed the Protector of her very own ocean territory as is tradition, and her sisters have agreed to visit for the celebration. But the ceremony is halted when Mala, one of the most renowned daughters of Triton, is abducted. The only clue to where she might have been taken is a hastily scribbled seaweed note, which says, “What could have saved Mother could save me, too.” To rescue Mala, Ariel must work together with her siblings, traveling to various seas, outsmarting dangerous ocean creatures, and delving into forbidden waters to find the truth of what happened to their mother. But as Ariel and her sisters begin uncovering new secrets about their family and their kingdom, Ariel will have to face the loss of a mother she never had a chance to know and discover what it means to be both a good sister and a strong leader. And the clock is ticking, because on the day of the festival, when the moon turns a true shade of coral, her sister will be lost, like her mother, forever.
