Inspired by the author’s son, the story of a boy with Down
syndrome who goes on a superhero’s journey to New York City and
learns what truly makes him unstoppable. Jamie likes to pretend
he’s a superhero. With his cape and gadgets, he feels like he can
face anything. When his picture is chosen to be shown in Times
Square for the NDSS Buddy Walk®, his family travels to New York
City to see it. As he makes his way through the loud, busy,
unfamiliar city, Jamie discovers that he doesn’t have all his
special tools. But he soon realizes that it isn’t what he wears
or the gadgets he uses that make him brave—it’s who he is
inside. This uplifting story includes an author’s note with
information about Down syndrome.
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.

Edward White loved the night, lived where stars were big and
bright. The evening sky - so wide, so high. Made him wonder. Made
him sigh. Edward White was the first American astronaut to walk in
space. But before his spacewalk, he was just a boy who loved the
stars. As he grew up, he would look up at the night sky in wonder -
he knew that, one day, he would visit the stars themselves. In this
touching and poignant picture book biography, we see how Edward's
passion for the stars shaped the course of his life, and how he
came to realise, even in the depths of space, what was ultimately
most important to him - his family.
