Give a Girl a Knife
Amy Thielen
The Midwest Connections Program is regional, so we’re particularly happy that Give a Girl a Knife, by Park Rapids’ own Amy Thielen is one of this month’s selections! You already know that we love the book—here’s what her publisher has to say about it: “A beautifully written food memoir chronicling Amy’s journey from her rural Midwestern hometown to the intoxicating world of New York City dining. It offers a fresh view into high-end restaurants before Amy realizes the marrow running through her bones is not demi-glace but gravy—thick with nostalgia and hard to resist.” All the copies of Give a Girl a Knife and Amy’s earlier book, The New Midwestern Table, in the store are signed. Give a Girl a Knife is available in hardcover and also as an audio book on libro.fm. Amy is the reader!
Amy and the cake for the launch.
Odd One Out
Quinton Skinner
Anyone who grew up in a family knows there are always mysteries. In Odd One Out, the shock of a couple’s separation ripples through the lives of their children like an emotional detective story. A manic cross-country road trip, followed by a sister’s search for her brother, set up a meditative, revealing ending.

On the Spot: Countless Funny Stories
Amy Krouse Rosenthal, Lea Redmond, and Sanne te Loo
New York Times bestselling author Amy Krouse Rosenthal, Lea Redmond, and Sanne te Loo have created a picture book with a story that rhymes and very lovely illustrations. But they’ve left out some important pieces of the story, and it’s up to the reader to fill them in!
Story time will take on a new dimension of play as kids use the stickers or scamper in search of the most hilarious items to occupy the blank spaces in the text.
Amy Krause Rosenthal was the author of over twenty books for children. Her titles include Uni the Unicorn, I Wish You More, Wumbers, Plant a Kiss, Little Pea, Spoon, The Wonder Book, Cookies: Bite-Size Life Lessons, and Duck! Rabbit! She died this March at the age of fifty-one after a difficult battle with ovarian cancer.
