Library, and more The barbershop is where the magic happens. Boys
go in as lumps of clay and, with princely robes draped around their
shoulders, a dab of cool shaving cream on their foreheads, and a
slow, steady cut, they become royalty. That crisp yet subtle line
makes boys sharper, more visible, more aware of every great thing
that could happen to them when they look good: lesser grades turn
into As; girls take notice; even a mother's hug gets a little
tighter. Everyone notices. A fresh cut makes boys fly. This
rhythmic, read-aloud title is an unbridled celebration of the
self-esteem, confidence, and swagger boys feel when they leave the
barber's chair-a tradition that places on their heads a figurative
crown, beaming with jewels, that confirms their brilliance and
worth and helps them not only love and accept themselves but also
take a giant step toward caring how they present themselves to the
world. The fresh cuts. That's where it all begins. Crown: An Ode to
the Fresh Cut is a high-spirited, engaging salute to the beautiful,
raw, assured humanity of black boys and how they see themselves
when they approve of their reflections in the mirror. Educational
resources for Crown can be found here.

We all know that Santa Claus is one cool dude! But how is he as a
houseguest? Find out in this hilarious picture book by bestselling
author Derrick Barnes! The number one thing on Monte and Mabel’s
Christmas wish list is the chance to hang out with Santa Claus. So
when his sleigh breaks down in their yard as he’s finishing up
his last delivery, they couldn’t be more delighted--Santa’s
gonna stay with them while he waits for spare parts to be
delivered! It’s a dream come true . . . or is it? It turns out
Santa doesn’t have a lot of experience being a houseguest, and
likes to rock out late at night and swigs spaghetti sauce from the
jar. But when he messes with Dad’s motorcycle and Mabel’s
computer tablet, he’s gone a step too far and the whole family
agrees--Santa’s gotta go! But how on earth do you kick out Santa
Claus? Readers will get a kick out of this hilarious holiday tale
by New York Times bestselling author Derrick Barnes, with its funny
reminder to be careful what you wish for and to remember that
sharing the holiday spirit can take a lot of goodwill.
I am a nonstop ball of energy. Powerful and full of light. I am a
go-getter. A difference maker. A leader. The confident Black
narrator of this book is proud of everything that makes him who he
is. He's got big plans, and no doubt he'll see them through - as
he's creative, adventurous, smart, funny, and a good friend.
Sometimes he falls, but he always gets back up. And other times
he's afraid, because he's so often misunderstood and called what he
is not. So slow down and really look and listen, when somebody
tells you - and shows you - who they are. There are superheroes in
our midst!
Bobby Beacon’s got fire flowing through his veins. And now he’s
psyched to attend a new school that’ll help him get a better grip
on his powers. But right off the bat, his new teacher is not too
welcoming. That causes Bobby’s hot temper to land him in the
principal’s office. It ain’t easy to stay calm when people
don’t seem to understand you and are always pushing you to the
edge. Good thing Bobby gets moved to a class with an understanding
teacher who clues him in on ways to calm himself and shows him that
caring for others is its own kind of superpower. With her help -
and some cool new friends - he just might be on his way to becoming
the best version of himself possible.
