From an award-winning author and illustrator, a warm, gentle ode to
cherished visits from grandparents and the people and places that
make us who we are even if we haven’t met them yet. It’s been
three years since Abuela’s last visit, and Dulce revels in every
tiny detail—from Abuela’s maletas full of candies in crinkly
wrappers and gifts from primos to the sweet, earthy smell of Peru
that floats out of Abuela’s room and down the hall. But
Abuela’s visit can’t last forever, and all too soon she’s
packing her suitcases again. Then Dulce has an idea: maybe there
are things she can gather for her cousins and send with Abuela to
remind them of the U.S. relatives they’ve never met. And despite
having to say goodbye, Abuela has one more surprise for
Dulce—something to help her remember that home isn’t just a
place, but the deep-rooted love they share no matter the distance.

A glittering celebration of queer families puts Pride gently in
perspective – honouring those in the LBGTQ+ community who fought
against injustice and inequality. Pride’s a day that means
“Together, we are strong!” This joyful picture-book homage to a
day of community and inclusion – and to the joys of anticipation
– is also a comprehensive history. With bright, buoyant
illustrations and lyrical, age-appropriate rhyme modeled on
“’Twas the Night Before Christmas,” it tackles difficult
content such as the Stonewall Riots and the AIDS marches. On the
night before Pride, families everywhere are preparing to partake.
As one family packs snacks and makes signs, an older sibling shares
the importance of the parade with the newest member of the family.
Reflecting on the day, the siblings agree that the best thing about
Pride is getting to be yourself. Debut author Joanna McClintick and
Pura Belpré Award-winning author-illustrator Juana Medina create a
new classic that pays homage to the beauty of families of all
compositions – and of all-inclusive love.

he find his lady? And more importantly, will he find himself? I'm a

"Refreshingly original. . . . Medina's beautiful, vivid prose conjures the Colombian setting with tactile language. . . . The story itself is a giant hug." -- The New York Times Book Review
Fans of Judy Moody and Clarice Bean will love Juana, the spunky young Colombian girl who stars in this playful, abundantly illustrated series. Juana loves many things: drawing, living in Bogot, Colombia, and especially her dog, Lucas, the best amigo ever. She does not love wearing her itchy school uniform, solving math problems, or learning the English. Why is it so important to learn a language that makes so little sense? Hilarious, energetic, and utterly relatable, Juana will win over los corazones (the hearts) of readers everywhere.
