In an unique announcement, The Beat can reveal that 2023 will see the publication of two new Guardians of the Galaxy books from Marvel and Scholastic! Rocket and Groot: Little Groot, Big Feelings, written by Kiara Valdez and illustrated by Wendy Tan, is the primary ebook from the Marvel/Scholastic team-up for the youngest age group (4 to 6).
Meanwhile, Rocket and Groot: The Hunt for Star-Lord, written by Amanda Deibert and illustrated by Cam Kendell, is the subsequent installment from Graphix Chapters, and is meant for readers ages 6 to 8.
Rocket and Groot in ’23
In Little Groot, Big Feelings, the cute eponymous plant alien “learns to get in touch with his feelings and expresses himself through his fan-favorite catchphrase, ‘I am Groot,’ as he explores social-emotional issues perfect for young readers.” This title is scheduled for publication on August 1st, 2023.
And scheduled for publication on September 5th, 2023, The Hunt for Star-Lord will see Rocket and Groot taking up some high-stakes journey. Here’s the outline from the writer:
“In The Hunt for Star-Lord, Rocket and Groot are searching for the best deep-dish pizza in the universe when they learn Peter Quill has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom! What are best intergalactic friends for if not tracking down unruly pals, possibly running into giant purple bad guys in the process?”
Just in time for Guardians season
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special was lately launched on Disney+. If that doesn’t have younger readers already chomping on the bit for some new Guardians studying materials, the upcoming May 2023 launch of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 definitely will!
Will you be selecting up both of those two Rocket and Groot titles once they arrive at your native bookstore, comedian store, or public library in a while in the brand new yr?
