Par Kuljinder Brar, Samrath Kaur. 2022
A debut picture book that explores the importance of pronouncing names properly and celebrates cultural identity.Saajin loves his name—he loves…
it so much that he sees it spelled out in the world around him in his snacks, in the sky and sometimes he even sings it aloud. On his first day of school, Saajin is excited to meet his new classmates, but things take a turn when the teacher mispronounces his name as Say-jin and he is not sure how—or if he should—correct her. After trying to live with the different version of his name for a while and some thoughtful conversations with his family about the meaning behind it, Saajin realizes the importance of reclaiming his name and embracing his identity. This empowering story, accompanied by energetic and vibrant art by Samrath Kaur, will resonate with any reader who has ever felt misunderstood.Katy no-pocket
Par H. A. Rey, Emmy Payne. 1944
Katy is a kangaroo without a pocket. She tries to carry her son, Freddy, the way other types of animals…
carry their young, but nothing works. So Katy and Freddy head for the city to buy a pocket. For grades K-3Goodbye: A first conversation about grief (First Conversations)
Par Megan Madison. 2023
An audiobook edition of the board book about grief, offering adults the opportunity to begin important conversations with young children…
in an informed, safe, and supported way. Developed by experts in the fields of early childhood and activism against injustice, this topic-driven book offers clear, concrete language to introduce the concept of grief. This book aims to normalize the topic of death by discussing what it means and how it feels to experience loss. It centers around several questions that arise about grief and honest, simple ways to answer them. While young children are avid observers and questioners of their world, adults often shut down or postpone conversations on complicated topics because it's hard to know where to begin. Research shows that talking about tough issues from the age of two not only helps children understand what they see, but also increases self-awareness, self-esteem, and allows them to recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination and prejudice. These books offer a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult. There is simple and interactive text, and the backmatter offers additional resources and ideas for extending this discussionHello, Dark

A book, too, can be a star: the story of Madeleine L'Engle and the making of a wrinkle in time
Par Charlotte Jones Voiklis. 2022
"When Madeleine L'Engle was very small, she marveled at the stars. They guided her throughout her life, making her feel…
part of a big and exciting world, even when she felt alone. They made her want to ask big questions--Why are we here? What is my place in the universe?--and let her imagination take flight. Books, too, were like stars-asking questions and proposing answers. Books kept Madeleine company, and soon, she began to write and share her own. But would other people see the wonder she found in the world?" -- Provided by publisherLike a diamond in the sky: Jane Taylor's beloved poem of wonder and the stars
Par Elizabeth Brown. 2022
"This picture book biography shines a light on the little-known poet and author of the beloved lullaby, and tells the…
story behind the classic and universally recognized rhyme." -- Provided by publisherThe tower of life: how Yaffa Eliach rebuilt her town in stories and photographs
Par Chana Stiefel. 2022
"The story begins with Yaffa Eliach, a spirited young girl who grows up in a vibrant, happy 800-year-old town in…
Poland, filled with family life and rich traditions. Yaffa's grandmother, who receives a gift of a camera from America, becomes the village photographer, and takes photos of all the family events: weddings, bar mitzvahs, and family gatherings. And on the Jewish New Year, the villagers send photos to their relatives overseas to wish them a "Gut Yontif"! But one dark day, the town is invaded. And quickly the once happy home to 5,000 Jewish people is uprooted. Yaffa survives the war and becomes a Professor of History and America's foremost Holocaust expert. And when President Jimmy Carter invites her to create an exhibit for the new National Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, she travels around the world hunting down her grandmother's photos taken of people who fled from her beloved town, Eishyshok, along with their stories and memories. This breathtaking revival of the town's collective spirit, which is a permanent exhibit at The National Holocaust Museum in Washington DC, will inspire all who read it." -- Provided by publisherI color myself different
Par Colin Kaepernick. 2022
"When Colin Kaepernick was five years old, he was given a simple school assignment: draw a picture of yourself and…
your family. What young Colin does next with his brown crayon changes his whole world and worldview, providing a valuable lesson on embracing and celebrating his Black identity through the power of radical self-love and knowing your inherent worth. I Color Myself Different is a joyful ode to Black and Brown lives based on real events in young Colin's life that is perfect for every reader's bookshelf. It's a story of self-discovery, staying true to one's self, and advocating for change--even when you're very little!" -- Provided by publisherJackie and the Books She Loved
