SUMMARY:Celebrate Pride with David Levithan and Gabriel Duckels and their book "The Fight of Our Lives\, AIDS in America" Joined by Special Guests
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Pride with David Levithan and Gabriel Duckels and their powerful\, new non-fiction book The Fight of Our Lives\, AIDS in America at CBW on June 11\, 2026 at 7:00pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCelebrate Pride with David Levithan and Gabriel Duckels as we embrace their powerful new non fiction book The Fight of Our Lives\, AIDS in America. Award-winning author David Levithan and University of Cambridge PhD Gabriel Duckels detail a brief history of the epidemic\, touching on key moments and figures\, such as Ryan White\, ACT UP\, Larry Kramer and Anthony Fauci\, Pedro Zamora from MTV’s The Real World\, and the Names Quilt. Threaded throughout are poems\, essays\, and other creative works\, in addition to first-person interviews and narratives. \n\n\n\nThe most important takeaway is that we must remember. We need to know what happened and why. Our voices are powerful\, and they can make a difference. \n\n\n\nKatherine Locke\, Alex Villasante\, Vincent Tirado\, and Mia Siegert will also be on hand!\n\n\n\nFree Mom Hugs will also have a table with us this evening and will share how they make a difference.\n\n\n\n\n\n				\n					\n					\n					The Fight of Our Lives: AIDS in America David Levithan and Gabriel Duckels Hardcover (CBW)\n				\n				$24.99\n				\n				Add to cart\n			\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Fight of Our Lives\, AIDS in America\n\n\n\nA thoughtful\, poignant look at the AIDS crisis in the United States that includes primary source interviews\, history\, medical research\, and cultural touchpoints. \n\n\n\nThe AIDS crisis in America is complex and composed of countless individual stories of grief\, love\, and advocacy. Its history shows the power of youth activism\, how creativity and community can be vehicles for social change\, and how bigotry and misinformation led to inequality in care. \n\n\n\nThe early days of the AIDS crisis saw LGBTQ+ and other marginalized communities making strides in the fight for equality. As many people in positions of power were slow to act or actively didn’t pay attention until their own communities were affected\, the fight for equality turned into a fight for their lives. Grassroots efforts filled in gaps where mainstream medicine and politics failed\, and over time\, a cultural shift of awareness emerged\, which led to more research and more treatments. And while the disease has transitioned from a death sentence to one that people can live full lives with\, there are still people dying of HIV/AIDS today because they can’t access the care they need. The fight may have begun decades ago\, but is not yet over. \n\n\n\nAward-winning author David Levithan and University of Cambridge PhD Gabriel Duckels detail a brief history of the epidemic\, touching on key moments and figures\, such as Ryan White\, ACT UP\, Larry Kramer and Anthony Fauci\, Pedro Zamora from MTV’s The Real World\, and the Names Quilt. Threaded throughout are poems\, essays\, and other creative works\, in addition to first-person interviews and narratives. The most important takeaway is that we must remember. We need to know what happened and why. Our voices are powerful\, and they can make a difference. \n\n\n\n\n“Balancing rigorous research with accessibility for teen readers is no small feat\, but the co-authors achieve it by drawing on their complementary expertise….Honors the dead and inspires the living.”  \n\n\n\n–Kirkus Reviews\, starred review \n\n\n\n\n\n“Levithan and Duckels apply their extensive experience in YA to craft an affecting\, engaging\, and accessible cultural history for teens and adults who want to learn about the AIDS crisis from the people who lived through it.”  \n\n\n\n–Booklist\, starred review \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n© Beth Levithan\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout David Levithan \n\n\n\nWhen not writing during spare hours on weekends\, David Levithan is editorial director at Scholastic and the founding editor of the PUSH imprint\, which is devoted to finding new voices and new authors in teen literature. His acclaimed novels Boy Meets Boy and The Realm of Possibility started as stories he wrote for his friends for Valentine’s Day (something he’s done for the past 22 years and counting) that turned themselves into teen novels. He’s often asked if the book is a work of fantasy or a work of reality\, and the answer is right down the middle—it’s about where we’re going\, and where we should be. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Gabriel Duckels \n\n\n\nGabriel Duckels explores the changing political contexts and social narratives of the AIDS crisis in books published for teenagers\, focusing on the lives of LGBTQ+ youth.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Free Mom Hugs \n\n\n\nFree Mom Hugs works to empower the world to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community. They embrace people of all faiths\, backgrounds\, ethnicities\, genders\, and sexual orientations. Their goal is to change the world simply by showing up. \n\n\n\nFounded by a fierce advocate and mother\, Free Mom Hugs provides visibility\, conversation\, and education with the hope of reconciling relationships. We sincerely believe that broken family relationships can be restored\, and we work to equip family members\, friends\, and allies with valuable resources so they can love well.

SUMMARY:Anne Lambelet will be at CBW to Celebrate the Launch of her new book "Beatrix and Friends"
DESCRIPTION:Anne Lambelet will be at Children’s Book World on May 26\, 2026 at 4:30pm with Beatrix and Friends\n\n\n\nJoin us on Tuesday\, May 26th at 4:30pm for a special afternoon event with author and illustrator Anne Lambelet. Anne will be sharing her gorgeous new picture book Beatrix and her Friends with us and talking to us about her art\, her inspiration and her one of a kind art style. We hope you can join us!\n\n\n\n\n\n				\n					\n					\n					Beatrix and Her Friends Anne Lambelet Hardcover (Autographed)\n				\n				$19.99\n				\n				Add to cart\n			\n\n\n\n\nAbout Beatrix and Friends\n\n\n\nA Beatrix Potter biography that brings to life the creatures of the natural world she loved and the many endearing animal characters she created. \n\n\n\nBeatrix Potter remains one of the most beloved creators of children’s books\, beginning with The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1902 and continuing through 23 more Little Tale titles. \n\n\n\nPotter’s stories featured a world of unforgettable animal characters that have entertained youngsters for several generations. But Potter was more than a children’s author — she was also an accomplished artist\, a forward-looking farmer\, and a committed preservationist. In her later years\, she helped save over 4\,000 acres of farms and wooded areas in the Lake District region of England. \n\n\n\nThis picture book biography recounts the life of Beatrix Potter in broad strokes with a focus on the joy and comfort she found in her animals\, real and imagined. It is a charming book written and illustrated by a bright young talent and it will appear in time for the 160th anniversary of Potter’s birth. With the reissue of the Little Tales in 2002\, a new generation of children have come to love Beatrix Potter and all her wonderful characters. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Anne Lambelet\n\n\n\nAnne Lambelet is a talented young artist who has illustrated over ten picture books\, nearly half of which are both written and illustrated by her. Her titles have received starred reviews from School Library Journal\, Kirkus Reviews\, and others. She is also the illustrator of books in several of the Margaret Peterson Haddix middle grade fiction series. Her style is very recognizable. She lives in Philadelphia with her husband and two young sons.
