From Daniel Bernstrom, the acclaimed author of One Day in the
Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Tree, comes a charming and irresistibly fun
picture book about a young blind girl and her grandmother who
experience the vibrant everyday music of their busy city. A young
girl, filled with the sounds of her beloved city, shares a song
with her grandmother that changes the two forever. After helping
Grandma realize that the city makes music as beautiful as the
sounds they hear in church on Sunday morning, the two sit down and
take in all the sounds of the city...together. Song in the City
bridges the gap between generations of music and family, while
centering love, understanding, and joy.

Uhwe. And each has its own special meaning—thankful, red flower,
moonlight. Amira knows that Baby Sister will love these names. But
will she love the name Amira has chosen? Is it special enough?A
story about rich traditions and the unique bond between sisters,
Naming Ceremony celebrates multigenerational family and Black joy.
"And where shall we go?" Mama asks as she tucks me in. "South
Africa. Where I was born." My answer summons Mama's stories,
stories that send us soaring back in time to when I was a baby. Out
my window. Down my street. Across water. Across continents. Where
do you come from? Where does your family come from? For many
children, the answers to these questions can transform a
conversation into a journey around the globe. In her first picture
book, author Patrice Gopo illuminates how family stories help shape
children, help form their identity, and help connect them with the
broader world. Her lyrical language, paired with Jenin Mohammed's
richly textured artwork, creates a beautiful, stirring portrait of
a child's deep ties to cultures and communities beyond where she
lays her head to sleep. Ultimately, this story speaks a truth that
all children need to hear: The places we come from are part of us,
even if we can't always be near them. All the Places We Call Home
is a quiet triumph that encourages an awakening to our own stories
and to the stories of those around us.
