When Tanisha spills grape juice all over her new dress, her
classmate contemplates how to make her feel better and what it
means to be kind. From asking the new girl to play to standing up
for someone being bullied, this moving and thoughtful story
explores what a child can do to be kind, and how each act, big or
small, can make a difference - or at least help a friend. With
awardwinning author Pat Zietlow Miller's gentle text and Jen Hill's
irresistible art, Be Kind is an unforgettable story about how two
simple words can change the world.
A beautifully illustrated story celebrating sibling relationships,
encouraging patience and understanding as a little elephant learns
what it truly means to be a big brother. The perfect gift for
families to share. When little Henry meets his new baby sister
Celeste, he can't wait to show her everything he's already learned
about being an elephant. But Celeste doesn't seem to be interested
in Henry's lessons - she wants to explore and play! As Celeste's
curiosity leads them both away from the herd, the two little
elephants find themselves lost and afraid. Can Celeste use what
she's learned from her big brother to help get them to safety? With
stunning charcoal illustrations and a hint of yellow, Jo Weaver
brings this heart-warming tale of love and friendship beautifully
to life. From the award-winning creator of Little One, Little
Whale, Little Tigers and Bibi.

Winner of the Red Maple Fiction Award
A class field trips turns into an underground quest for survival in the
latest middle grade novel from the author of Edgar Award winner
OCDaniel.
Mr. Baker’s eighth grade class thought they were in for a normal field
trip to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. But when an earthquake hits,
their field trip takes a terrifying turn. The students are plunged into
an underground lake…and their teacher goes missing.
They have no choice but to try and make their way back above ground,
even though no one can agree on the best course of action. The darkness
brings out everyone’s true self. Supplies dwindle and tensions mount.
Pretty and popular Silvia does everything she can to hide her panic
attacks, even as she tries to step up and be a leader. But the longer
she’s underground, the more frequent and debilitating they become.
Meanwhile, Eric has always been a social no one, preferring to sit at
the back of the class and spend evenings alone. Now, he finds himself
separated from his class, totally by himself underground. That is,
until he meets an unexpected stranger.
Told from three different points of view, this fast-paced adventure
novel explores how group dynamics change under dire circumstances. Do
the students of Mr. Baker’s class really know each other at all? Or do
they just think they do? It turns out, it’s hard to hide in the dark.

podcast host An eye-opening story of Britain, focusing on a part of

Black, too? Join this fascinating journey through the ages to meet
those first Britons, as well as the Black Tudors, Georgians and
Victorians who existed in every walk of life here. The incredible
journey through time is brought to life through Atinuke's
fascinating storytelling and illustrated scenes, detailed maps, and
timelines created by illustrator Kingsley Nebechi. From science and
sport to literature and law, celebrate the brilliant Black people
who have helped build Britain. Learn about key and complex
historical topics such as the world wars, slavery, the industrial
revolution, Windrush and the Black Lives Matter movement. This
fascinating book will change everything you thought you knew about
our green-grey British isles. ‘We would recommend this book to
any child, adult or teacher’ Stop Hate UK
Acclaimed author Renee Watson offers a powerful story about a girl striving for success in a world that too often seems like it's trying to break her.
Jade believes she must get out of her poor neighborhood if she's ever going to succeed. Her mother tells her to take advantage of every opportunity that comes her way. And Jade has: every day she rides the bus away from her friends and to the private school where she feels like an outsider, but where she has plenty of opportunities. But some opportunities she doesn't really welcome, like an invitation to join Women to Women, a mentorship program for "at-risk" girls. Just because her mentor is black and graduated from the same high school doesn't mean she understands where Jade is coming from. She's tired of being singled out as someone who needs help, someone people want to fix. Jade wants to speak, to create, to express her joys and sorrows, her pain and her hope. Maybe there are some things she could show other women about understanding the world and finding ways to be real, to make a difference.

In fairy tales, the wolf's cry makes people shudder. They've been hunted, captured. But the wolf carries a wild magic - a magic that once restored a barren land.
When wolves disappeared from Yellowstone Park in the 1930s, the ecosystem started to collapse. Enormous herds of elk swarmed the plains, bears starved, rabbit families shrunk and birds flew away to new homes. Plants vanished, trees withered and rivers meandered.
Until in 1995, wolves returned to the park and everything began to change for the better. This is the story of their homecoming.
With atmospheric storytelling from Catherine Barr and breathtakingly beautiful artwork by Jenni Desmond, this inspiring true story shows that every species plays an important part in protecting our planet.
