Cover Reveal: AND, TOO, THE FOX by Ada Limón and Gaby D’Alessandro

Comes with its streak of red

flashing across the lawn, squirrel

bound and bouncing . . .

Plunge headlong into the natural world with U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón in And, Too, the Fox. This vivid poem encourages readers to consider the everyday experiences of a fox, piecing together a living in his own wild way.

Limón’s verse is paired with lush illustrations by Gaby D’Alessandro, celebrating the simple joy of observing—and finding connection with—the animals all around us. A stunning book to read, to share, and to cherish.
