Black Sheep, 2016

This is part of our BLACK SHEEP imprint for young readers. China Miéville is an international best seller and this is a big departure for him. One marketing goal is to connect with the segment of his large fan base that comprises parents. Very strong gift book potential. Akashic will continue to build on its reputation for publishing children's books for the "alternative" parenting market with hits like Go the Fuck to Sleep and What Is Punk?. " --Publishers Weekly "Miéville, known for his genre-defying fantasy novels for adults, makes a splash with his picture book debut. Smith’s illustrations, filled with geometric shapes and patterns, are the perfect complement to the text...This is a subversive delight." --School Library Journal "Deftly written by the exceptionally talented China Miéville and shockingly but gifted illustrated by Zak Smith, The Worst Breakfast is a unique picture book that will be enduringly popular . . . Very highly recommended." --Midwest Book Review "This is a child’s imagination come to life, where a good thing can be the greatest thing in existence and a minor inconvenience snowballs into the most horrendous, atrocious, appalling, not good, very bad meal you’ve ever had." --San Francisco Book Review "Imaginative and fun, The Worst Breakfast is perfect for any picky eater out there. A rhyming scheme and inventive text kept up the giggles and the pace. The text is best read aloud going along with all of the suggestions, with emphasis placed on capitalized words and pauses between syllables when they are spaced out. The illustrations are very different than what you typically see in children’s books; they are bright and fun, but edgier and begged to be looked at deeper. You can spend time on each page trying to find each food and a series of silly little monsters." --100 Pages a Day Part of Akashic's Black Sheep imprint. Two sisters sit down one morning and begin describing all of the really gross things that were in the worst breakfast they ever had, until all they can picture is a table piled sky-high with the weirdest, yuckiest, slimiest, slickest, stinkiest breakfast possible. And then they have the best breakfast ever...almost.
