warmth of young love just might melt the ice in this novel of
interwoven narratives, Black joy, and cozy, sparkling romance-by
the same unbeatable team of authors who wrote the New York Times
bestseller Blackout! As the city grinds to a halt, twelve teens
band together to help a friend pull off the most epic apology of
her life. But will they be able to make it happen, in spite of the
storm? No one is prepared for this whiteout. But then, we can't

causes, and how to fight for the most vulnerable people affected by
it, This Book Will Save the Planet is a vibrantly illustrated study
of one of humanity's most significant threats. With this third

a difference. Through the lens of intersectionality, author Dany
Sigwalt lays out the framework for how we can come together to
fight climate change, and how we can work to put people over
profit. The planet is not protected if all its inhabitants are not;
the people are not protected if the planet they inhabit is not. In
this book, you will: Discover the core principles of climate
justice Learn how solidarity, community and mutual aid can change
the world Find out how to use your privilege to stand-up for other
people At the end of each chapter, there are activities and calls

need is a pen and a piece of paper. With kaleidoscopic and vibrant
illustrations by artist Aurelia Durand, this book is written for
everyone who lives on planet Earth. By the end, you'll have the

This special book asks children a simple question: How Can We Be
Kind? The answer is: by learning from the animal kingdom! Animals
demonstrate kindness and empathy towards each other, and care and
compassion can be seen all throughout the natural world. This book
shows children the ways they can be kind just like animalsare to
each other, while at the same time teaching them about the magic
and the beauty of the natural world. They can learn to be welcoming
like capybaras, who let other animals sit on top of them while they
wallow in mud. Or perhaps they might want to be like dolphins, who
guide other species to their destinations. Or maybe they would like
to work together like ants and bees, share what they have like
jackdaws or stick up for their friends like zebras. With beautiful
illustrations from Darla Okada, this beautiful picture book will
enchant and entertain children time and time again. There are facts
at the back about how each animal lives with and looks after its
fellow creatures. This sweet and thoughtful book is both a
celebration of the animal world and a manifesto for being kind in
everyday life.
