This lyrical celebration of Juneteenth, deeply rooted in Black
American history, spans centuries and reverberates loudly and
proudly today. After 300 years of forced bondage; hands bound,
descendants of Africa picked up their souls--all that they owned--
leaving shackles where they fell on the ground, headed for the
nearest resting place to be found. Deeply emotional, evocative free
verse by poet and activist Sojourner Kincaid Rolle traces the
solemnity and celebration of Juneteenth from its 1865 origins in
Galveston, Texas to contemporary observances all over the United
States. This is an ode to the strength of Black Americans and a
call to remember and honor a holiday whose importance reverberates
far beyond the borders of Texas.

_______________ 'A very touching and honest story ... Rico and Nick
make a great team!' - Jacqueline Wilson _______________ An
empowering adoption story by eleven-year-old Premier League Young
Writer of the Year Rico Hinson-King, illustrated by the
award-winning Nick Sharratt There is a kid. Let's call him Charlie.
On the outside he looks like every other football-mad boy of his
age. But he isn't ... A story of hope and resilience, this gentle,
inspiring picture book tells the tale of Charlie, a little boy who
was taken into care when he was very small. Charlie dreams of
finding his forever home to share with his sisters. Sometimes he
feels scared. Sometimes he wants to scream and cry (and he does,
just a little). But he is strong. He is tough. Strong and Tough is
by the amazingly talented ten-year-old Rico Hinson-King. Rico, like
Charlie, found strength and resilience along the journey to find
his forever family (and played lots of football along the way!).
Rico is a Junior Premier League footballer with a knack for words
too, who wrote his story so that other children going through
similar circumstances can feel less alone, and to encourage empathy
in others. His moving and powerful words are paired with warm,
friendly illustrations by the award-winning Nick Sharratt, who
famously illustrated many of Jacqueline Wilson's books including
the Tracy Beaker series.
A rousing and radical investigation into the climate crisis, its
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
title in the NYT #1 best-selling Empower the Future series, you'll
gain a deeper understanding of climate change and climate justice.
Our planet is in crisis. The ice caps are melting, sea levels are
rising, wildfires are raging... and those most affected by global
warming are marginalised communities across the globe. But all is
not lost - there's still time for each and every one of us to make
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
to action to get you thinking and to grow your knowledge. All you
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
tools you need to go out and make a difference. The Empower the
Future series is a collection of vital and urgent books about how
we can all build a better world. Other titles in the list include
This Book is Feminist and This Book is Anti-Racist.
