Shakespeare’s tragedy Macbeth (Candlewick, $12.99 paperback, $21.99 hardcover) is brought to life by author and illustrator Gareth Hinds. Hinds uses the Bard’s original text and renders the gruesome story of the Scottish king in extraordinarily vivid detail. From the appropriately dark color palate to the elaborate character design, Hinds—well-versed in graphically interpreting classics, such as Beowulf and The Odyssey—opens doors into the play, providing readers a chance to experience this work like never before. Ages 13 and up. Allison Witten

The true story of the bear who inspired Winnie-the-Pooh begins when an army veterinarian purchases a pet bear, Winnipeg, for twenty dollars. Winnipeg, shortened to Winnie (Holt, $17.99), is gentle and loving and adored by the soldiers who take care of her. But when the Great War calls the troops elsewhere, Winnie’s human companion must leave her behind in order to keep her safe. Author Sally M. Walker and illustrator Jonathan D. Voss depict Winnie’s arrival at the London Zoo and how a small boy named Christopher Robin befriended the curious bear, accompanied by his father, A.A. Milne. Ages 5-8. Allison Witten

Richard Loving, a white man, and Mildred Jeter, a black woman, married in Washington, D.C. where their union was legal, but they returned home to Virginia to live in the country. There, they were arrested under charges of “unlawful cohabitation” and Richard and Mildred began their fight, getting the court involved. After a long journey, The Case for Loving (Arthur A. Levine Books, $18.99) was won in 1967 and the two were able to live happily (and legally) ever after. Husband and wife duo Sean Qualls and Selina Alko tell the story of those who have come before them in a story of the fight for interracial marriage. Ages 5-9 Allison Witten
