Next stop, Guatemala! Lola is excited to go to Guatemala with
Abuelita for a few weeks to learn about her heritage and see her
relatives. But when she arrives, things don’t go as planned.
Lola’s Spanish isn’t as good as she thought, and she feels out
of place. To make things worse, her cousin Luis thinks Lola is a
snob. Will Lola find her place and enjoy her new adventures or be
stuck feeling homesick?
Abuelita can't visit Lola for her birthday, so she sends her
tickets to see Swan Lake. Lola loves the show so much that she
decides she wants to be a ballerina. But ballet is not as easy as
it seems. When Lola’s instructor announces they’ll be dancing
Swan Lake for their recital, Lola is excited... until she learns
her role. Rather than a graceful swan, she’ll be a background
chicken! Lola must learn she can still be an important part of the
show, as long as she’s comfortable in her own feathers.

Join Jose as he trains his new dog in this bilingual easy reader!
Jose loves his family: his Papi, Mami, and little sister, Sofi. But
something is missing-he dreams of having a dog, un perro of his
own. Finally Jose gets to pick el perro perfecto, the perfect dog,
from a shelter. But when he tries out commands like "!Sientate!"
(sit) and "!Echate!" (lie down), his new pet simply tilts his head
to the side in confusion. Then he realizes that the dog does
understand commands-he just doesn't understand Spanish! Follow
along as Jose teaches su perro inteligente some new words en
espanol. This early reader, co-written by notable Broadway producer
Susan Rose and children's book author Silvia Lopez, is the perfect
introduction for English-speaking children who have just begun
learning Spanish. The inclusion of the Spanish/English translations
at the end of the book also makes it an excellent teaching tool.
Exciting, easy-to-read books are the stepping stone a young reader
needs to bridge the gap between being a beginner and being fluent.

Azaleah's big sister, Nia, has been cast as Willa Wonka in the
school musical, and the entire Lane family is looking forward to
the show. Azaleah has even helped plan a surprise dinner party for
Nia at Avec Amour, Mummy's restaurant. But then the real drama
starts. At the first rehearsal, all sorts of things go wrong:
missing batteries, sets falling over, props misplaced . . . It's so
many things, in fact, that Azaleah suspects "foul play". And when
the special effects on Nia's costume don't work at dress rehearsal,
Nia is a nervous wreck. To top it all off, the high school
journalism class is covering the performance for the school blog,
and the director doesn't have time to replace Nia's costume. Nia
has to wear it without the special effects. Azaleah becomes
determined to make sure the musical isn't ruined for Nia. Azaleah
has to get to the bottom of the mysterious rehearsal troubles, and
finish party preparations, before the curtain goes up.
Mum and Dad are heading out of town, which means Azaleah and her
sisters get to spend the weekend at Auntie Sam's. The girls can't
wait for their special weekend! Azaleah even decides to bake
cookies to surprise her parents when they return. After all, as Mum
says, "Cooking for someone is like giving them a gift." But the
cookies are a disaster! Azaleah is stumped. She's sure she did
everything right. Can Azaleah get to the bottom of the cookie
catastrophe before Mum and Dad get back?
It's a big week for Azaleah Lane. The head teacher, Ms Li, is

Carmen loves doing magic with her Papi. He can make sarapes fly. He
can make rabbits vanish! But one day, her Papi vanishes. She is sad
and scared when she learns he has been detained because he is an
undocumented immigrant from Mexico. At first, Carmen's family keeps
Papi's detention a secret, fearing that they might be judged
negatively. As Carmen's community becomes aware of their situation,
they rally around her family with love. Carmen learns she can find
strength in herself and maintain her connection with Papi, no
matter what happens. The Something Happened books present and

compelling stories, the books come with the authority of
psychological expertise from the American Psychological
Association. They include Something Happened in Our Town: A Child's
Story of Racial Injustice, which is a New York Times and #1

Happened in Our Park: Standing Together After Gun Violence, which
