Straight on the heals of her book about having a baby, Kid Gloves (First Second), Lucy Knisley ′09 is releasing a children’s book about being a baby, You Are New (Chronicle Books). Coming in March, You Are New is Lucy’s second children’s book. Margaret and the Moon (Knopf Books, 2017), written by Dean Robbins, is about Margaret Hamilton, who, in 1964, went to work for NASA and became the director of Software Programming for Project Apollo.
You Are New explores the new world waiting for little ones and the grown-ups who love them. From napping to crying, cuddling to playing, this book introduces the world with humor, honesty, and unmitigated sweetness. Kirkus Review says, “the overall impact is one of a broad range of humanity so that the direct address of the text can aim for universal resonance.”
