before you know it things go horribly, hilariously wrong.

Caldecott Honor–winning picture book, six-time Emmy
Award winner Mo Willems joins Grammy Award®–
winning composer Michael Silversher to lovingly

Will the kids in the White House get a Christmas Tree? Wouldn't Ethel, Kermit and Archie like to know! What they do know is that they want one badly, but their dad, President Teddy Roosevelt, doesn't think chopping down a tree sets a good example of conservation for the nation. His answer is "no," but that's one execut...ive order these kids aren't going to obey. Inspired by Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, playwright Tom Isbell and political satirist/songwriter Mark Russell re-team to settle the score in a presidential musical that can't be missed.Read More

Spunky 9-year-old Ana is faced with a very big
decision. On the one hand, as her alter-ego
Barrio Grrrl with her invisible sidekick Amazing
Voice, she’s pretty busy preserving justice in
the barrio and protecting her neighborhood.
On the other hand, in the world where Ana
lives with her abuelo (grandfather) and misses
her mom... who is far, far away in Iraq, reality is
sneaking up on her. It’s time for Ana to decide
what’s most important: being a superhero
or a girl who works little miracles in real life.
