A powerful tale about the magic of memory and the infinite power of
the imagination Every kid in Lola's school was from somewhere else.
Hers was a school of faraway places. Â When Lola's teacher
asks the students to draw a picture of where their families
immigrated from, all the kids are excited. Except Lola. She can't
remember the Island – she left when she was just a baby. But with
the help of her family and friends, and their memories – joyous,
fantastical, heartbreaking, and frightening – Lola's imagination
takes her on an extraordinary journey back to The Island. As
she draws closer to the heart of her family's story, Lola comes to
understand the truth of her abuela's words: 'just because you don't
remember a place doesn't mean it's not in you.' Â Gloriously
illustrated and lyrically written, Islandborn is a celebration of
creativity, diversity, and our imagination's boundless ability to
connect us – to our families, to our past and to ourselves.

Two children's book superstars-#1 New York Times bestseller
Jacqueline Woodson, the author of The Day You Begin, and Leo
Espinosa, the illustrator of Islandborn -join forces to celebrate
the joy and freedom of summer in the city, which is gloriously
captured in their rhythmic text and lively art. It's getting hot
outside, hot enough to turn on the hydrants and run through the
water--and that means it's finally summer in the city! Released
from school and reveling in their freedom, the kids on one Brooklyn
block take advantage of everything summertime has to offer: Freedom
from morning till night to go out to meet their friends and make
the streets their playground--jumping double Dutch, playing tag and
hide-and-seek, building forts, chasing ice cream trucks, and best
of all, believing anything is possible. That is, till their moms
call them home for dinner. But not to worry--they know there is
always tomorrow to do it all over again--because the block belongs
to them and they rule their world. (This book is also available in
Spanish, as El mundo era nuestro!)

By NEW YORK TIMES-bestselling author Annie Barrows and Pura Belpre
Honor award recipient Leo Espinosa, this funny yet
thought-provoking picture book offers a sequence of outlandishly
fun compare-and-contrasts that show how humans are much more like
each other than we are different.
Imagine if you could steal your toddler's nap? This picture book
debut from a #1 New York Times bestselling author turns the
universal dilemma of getting kids to sleep upside down! It's time
for a nap, but Annalise Devin McFleece wants NOTHING to do with
bedtime. Dad tries to encourage sleepiness by pushing Analise
through the park, and when they pass a dog walker, a skate boarder,
a juggler, and more, each of them thinks that taking a nap is a
GREAT idea. So if Annalise Devin McFleece doesn't want
hers...perhaps they'll take it! One by one, everyone falls asleep
EXCEPT Annalise Devin McFleece. But when she's finally ready for
her nap, all the naps are taken! Is there anyone who has an extra
nap to spare? With every turn of the page, the busy city scene
becomes more and more quiet...except for Annalise Devin McFleece.
Will she ever take a nap?
Del exitoso autor en ventas segun el New York Times y ganador del
Premio Pulitzer, Junot Diaz, nos llega su primer album ilustrado
acerca de la magia de los recuerdos y el poder infinito de la
imaginacion, !ahora en espanol! Todos los ninos en la escuela de
Lola venian de otra parte. Era una escuela de lugares lejanos. Asi
que cuando la maestra de Lola pide a sus alumnos que hagan un
dibujo del lugar del que emigraron sus familias, todos los ninos se
entusiasman. Todos, menos Lola. Ella no recuerda la Isla: se fue
cuando era apenas un bebe. Pero con la ayuda de su familia y de sus
amigos, todos ellos con sus recuerdos -felices, maravillosos,
tristes, aterradores-, la imaginacion de Lola la lleva en un
extraordinario viaje de regreso a la Isla. Cuando finalmente se
acerca al corazon de la historia de su familia, Lola llega a
entender el sentido de las palabras de su abuela: "Que no recuerdes
un lugar, no significa que no sea parte de ti". Esplendidamente
ilustrado, y escrito en una bella prosa, Lola es un homenaje a la
creatividad, a la diversidad y a la imaginacion sin limites, que
nos permite conectar con nuestra familia, nuestro pasado y con
nosotros mismos.
