They talk day jobs and publishing dreams, polka dot elephants and shows at cupcake stores. Martha even gets Mike's time-traveling advice to himself years ago, which includes this gem:
Mike's publishing journey is one of our "SCBWI Success Stories" featured at the upcoming 2015 SCBWI Summer Conference on a Friday afternoon panel (that I'll be moderating, and that will also feature Martha herself!)
Mike will also be co-leading a Saturday Breakout session with agent Brenda Bowen on "The Artist Agent Relationship!"
We hope you can join us for #LA15SCBWI – and perhaps it will be the path to your own SCBWI Success Story! Detailed conference information and registration here.

Our May book list includes fun, magical books featuring adventures with an adorable elephant, funny stories about sisters for young readers, the story of strong man Charles Atlas, a laugh-out-loud tale about pranksters and one of the best teen romances ever written.
Pre-K – K (Ages 3-6):
Little Elliot, Big City By: Mike Curato
Elliot loves the adventure of living in the city but his size often gets in his way. Readers’ hearts will melt when Elliot meets an unlikely friend at just the right moment and the two take on the town together. A sweet, beautifully illustrated book!
For 1st & 2nd grade (Ages 6-8):
Ling & Ting: Not Exactly the Same! By: Grace Lin
Young readers will be utterly charmed by these funny stories about a delightful pair of sisters and their everyday adventures. Clever and funny, this series is great for kids who are ready for beginning books with chapters.
For 3rd & 4th grade (Ages 8-10):
Strong Man: The Story of Charles Atlas By: Meghan McCarthy
Who knew that Charles Atlas, the so-called “Strong Man” who once pulled a 145,000 pound train with his bare hands, was bullied as a kid? This inspirational picture book biography with playful cartoon illustrations is a great starting point for conversations about kindness, healthy eating, and healthy living.
5th & 6th grade (Ages 10-12):
The Terrible Two By: Marc Barnett
It’s prankster vs. prankster in this hugely appealing story, great for reluctant and eager readers alike. Get ready to laugh your pants off, read the funniest bits aloud to your friends, and even learn some very interesting facts about cows!
7th & up (Ages 13+):
Eleanor & Park By: Rainbow Rowell
Every so often a young adult novel comes along that is so remarkable you want to press it into the hands of everyone you meet. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE BOOKS! Pure magic, it might just be the best teen love story ever written.

They say if you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere. Well Little Elliot Big City by Mike Curato is about to take over New York. Little Elliot is an elephant who is trying to make his home in the big city. However, being small makes it hard for him to do everyday city things. He even gets ignored when he tries to buy a cupcake. Then he meets a mouse who is facing the same problem. Elliot knows just the right thing to help the mouse. The next day the mouse is able to help Elliot. In helping each other they become friends.
Here's to Elliot's success in the Big City starting August 26!
