When Tani Adewumi was just six years old, he and his family escaped
Boko Haram's violent persecution in their native country of
Nigeria. Tani was thankful to be safe in the new land of America,
and he had never seen anything like the buildings and bustle of New
York City! He was also thankful for the homeless shelter his family
could live in while they waited for a new home, even though it was
hard having no TV, no kitchen for his mom to cook meals, and no
refrigerator where he could get a snack whenever he was hungry.
Tani liked New York; the people there were kind to him and his
family. As Tani settled into his American school, he began
learning--and falling in love with--the game of chess. With joy and
determination, Tani studied hard, practicing chess for hours on the
floor of his room in the shelter. Less than a year later, he won
the New York State Chess Championship at the age of eight. Today,
through hard work and the kindness of others, Tani and his family
have an apartment of their own. Despite being on the other side of
the globe from the grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins who
surrounded him in Nigeria, Tani found a place to belong. Through
beautiful textured digital illustrations and a captivating story,
this picture book biography shares Tani's dreams and struggles with
young readers ages 4-8. Tani's New Home tells the inspiring true
story of a boy who faced difficult circumstances with joyful
energy, optimism, and passion. This book is an engaging personal
read for children just learning about the power of hope, and young
readers will be excited to see how ordinary people showed Tani and
his family love, encouragement, and community--reminding us that we
can each make the world a more welcoming place, a place where we
all belong.

An inspiring graphic memoir from celebrated athlete and activist
Colin Kaepernick. High school star athlete Colin Kaepernick is at a
crossroads in life. Heavily scouted by colleges and Major League
Baseball (MLB) as a baseball pitcher, he has a bright future ahead
of him. Everyone from his parents to his teachers and coaches are
in agreement on his future. Colin feels differently. Colin isn't
excited about baseball. In the words of five-time all-star MLB
player Adam Jones, 'Baseball is a white man's game.' Colin looks up
to athletes like Allen Iverson: talented, hyper-competitive,
unapologetically Black, and dominating their sports while staying
true to themselves. College football looks a lot more fun than
sleeping on hotel room floors in the minor leagues of baseball. But
Colin doesn't have a single offer to play football. Yet. Explores
the story of how a young change-maker learned to find himself and
never compromise Full-colour illustration A graphic novel memoir
for readers 12 and up
