From National Book Award-winning author Kathryn Erskine comes a
heartfelt, poignant novel that tackles grief, change, and the
struggle to let your voice be heard. Perfect for fans of Lynda
Mullaly Hunt, Erin Entrada Kelly, and Ali Benjamin. Shy,
eleven-year-old Lily made her dad an important promise before he
passed away-that she would "Strive for Five" and speak her mind at
least five times. But speaking up one time, let alone five, is
easier said than done. It'll be even harder now that Lily must
attend public school for the first time. Fortunately, she meets
curling-obsessed Hobart and quiet Dunya at the beginning of sixth
grade. Their kindness gives Lily hope that life without Dad might
just be bearable. But when Lily and her friends are bullied by Ryan
and his mean clique, she quickly discovers the true meaning of
friendship and speaking out. Despite the anxiety she feels, Lily
knows she needs to stand up for herself and others. And she'll use
the tools her dad gave her to not only keep her final promise but
bring her whole school together. Following Lily's journey and the
snarky, insightful, and humorous commentary from Libro, the actual
book, who guides readers through this thoughtful tale, makes Lily's
Promise a strong title for social emotional learning.

When Aideen agrees to help ambitious class swot Maebh Kowalska deal with her crazy workload, she doesn’t expect to end up reluctantly pushing Maebh down the stairs. With this, Aideen becomes the school ‘fixer’: any problem a student has, Aideen will sort it out, from stealing confiscated mobiles to breaking into parties. All she asks for is a favour in return. But Aideen’s own life is a mess – her mam’s drinking again, her BFF Holly is avoiding her and she’s skipping school. Spending more time with the uptight (but annoyingly cute) Maebh and chatterbox Kavi, Aideen starts to wonder: can every problem be solved?

Pearl has just moved house, and the busy city combined with the
prospect of starting a new school is making her anxious . . . until a
giant white cat appears, and gradually her confidence begins to build.
The gorgeous, brightly coloured illustrations bring the thronging
modern city to life, full of busy people filling pavements and buses
and cars, or seen through the windows of their homes, leading their
different lives. Mooncat's own calm and reassuring presence encourages
Pearl to explore the vibrant city with her mother, and to face school
where she soon finds there are friends to be made.
We can all empathise with Pearl's fear that 'I won't know anyone, and
no one will know me' but as we watch her grow in confidence, we will
learn that with a bit of imagination and determination, there's nothing
we can't do.

Stacey May Fowles' debut picture book is a whimsical, warmhearted
story of how a super-special surprise can lead to anxiety - or
invite imagination. One beautiful fall day, Fern opens her mailbox
and finds an envelope. After much worrying about what it could
possibly contain, her friend Fawn encourages her to open it.
Inside, she finds an invitation to a super-special surprise at the
museum - but Fern doesn't like surprises! Luckily, Fawn offers to
come with her to the party. What could possibly happen, he asks.
Along the way, Fern voices her worries: What if they can't make it
in time? What if they don't know anyone there? Fawn playfully
follows his friend's way of thinking, while gently suggesting
twists to her story and a fun new cast of characters - the chipmunk
who could show them a shortcut, the grumpy bear who could clear
their path, the brave dentist who might treat the bear's toothache
- until at last they arrive, and Fern is able to enjoy the
wonderful surprise happening around her. Marie Lafrance's
delightfully dreamy illustrations bring the imagined world of Fern
and Fawn to life in this super-special story about catastrophic
thinking. Key Text Features illustrations Correlates to the Common
