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 discussionPas de chevaux dans la maison!: La vie audacieuse de l’artiste Rosa Bonheur

1940s Czechoslovakia, Renee, Herta, and their parents were in immediate danger when the Holocaust came to their door. As the only hearing person in her family, Renee had to alert her parents and sister whenever the sound of Nazi boots approached their home so they could hide. But soon their parents were tragically taken away, and the two sisters went on the run, desperate to find a safe place to hide. Eventually they, too, would be captured and taken to the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. Communicating in sign language and relying on each other for strength in the midst of illness, death, and starvation, Renee and Herta would have to fight to survive the darkest of times. This gripping memoir, told in a vivid oral history format, is a testament to the power of sisterhood and love, and now more than ever a reminder of how important it is to honor the past, and keep telling our own stories." -- Provided by publisherA book, too, can be a star: the story of Madeleine L'Engle and the making of a wrinkle in time

Par Elisa Boxer. 2024
Hope triumphs over fear in this poignant and impactful true story of the Holocaust—a delicate introduction to World War Two…
history for older audioook listeners. During World War Two, in the concentration camp Terezin, a group of Jewish children and their devoted teacher planted and nurtured a smuggled-in sapling. Over time fewer and fewer children were left to care for the little tree, but those who remained kept lovingly sharing their water with it. When the war finally ended and the prisoners were freed, the sapling had grown into a strong five-foot-tall maple. Nearly eighty years later the tree’s 600 descendants around the world are thriving . . . including one that was planted at New York City’s Museum of Jewish Heritage in 2021. Students will continue to care for it for generations to come, and the world will remember the brave teacher and children who never gave up nurturing a brighter futureKid innovators: True tales of childhood from inventors and trailblazers (Kid Legends)
