A Tale of Two Agents: Chapter Sixty-Five. See How We’ve Been Busy as Bs
“August of another summer, and once again I am drinking the sun and the lilies again are spread across the water.”
With the start of the Fair season around the corner, we are enjoying the quiet moments this month and preparing for a busy Fall. One of our new publishing partners, Augsburg Fortress, will be among the 15+ number of publishers sharing space on our shelves at our Frankfurt booth.
We hope you’ve been at the beach, or in other hemispheres, welcoming the Spring. In the words of Taylor Swift, “August slipped away into a moment in time. ‘Cause it was never mine.”

Our New Partners
Augsburg Fortress
We have long admired the Augsburg Fortress list, so we are thrilled to represent their Broadleaf and Beaming Books lists.
Broadleaf brings us titles like Ethan Tapper’s How to Love a Forest, an arborist’s tender exploration of how we can protect fragile ecosystems, and The Lightmaker’s Manifesto, a passionate call to fight for justice without losing joy.
From Beaming Books comes work like Britney Winn Lee and Jacob Souva's beloved The Boy with Big, Big Feelings, a tender, boldly illustrated picture book that helps children see their emotions not as something to hide but as something to celebrate. Together, these lists speak to readers of every age with honesty, grace, and heart, and we cannot wait for our international partners to fall for them as hard as we have.
