A fierce, feminist, and fun middle grade fantasy graphic novel about a twelve-year-old Indian American girl named Shakti who must learn the power of her ancestral magic if she wants to save her family and town from a dangerous curse. Written by Stonewall Honor Book recipient and Lambda Literary Fellow SJ Sindu and illustrated by Nabi H. Ali.
Shakti is used to being the new girl at school. She and her two moms have moved more times than she can count. With her unborn baby brother on the way, Shakti hopes her family has found their forever home in Amherst, Massachusetts, and that she can finally make friends.
On her first day of seventh grade, she meets Xi and they bond over their shared passion for manga (and pizza with mayo). But the three meanest girls in school—Harini, Emily, and Kelly (aka “HEK”)—are determined to make life miserable for Shakti and her new friends.
When Shakti and Xi discover HEK casting spells in the woods, they fear what might happen to the other kids at school. Drawing on ancient Indian magic, Shakti seeks the aid of Durga Ma to stop HEK. But instead, Shakti accidentally conjures Kali Ma, the destroyer—Durga Ma's dangerous twin. Kali Ma punishes HEK by transforming them into monsters and curses the entire town. As more and more people begin to fall ill, including Shakti’s mom, will Shakti be able to harness her own strength, power, and empathy to save those she loves—and put an end to all the hate?

Laxmi never paid much attention to the tiny hairs above her lip.
But one day while playing farm animals at recess, her friends point
out that her whiskers would make her the perfect cat. She starts to
notice body hair all over - on her arms, legs, and even between her
eyebrows. With her parents help, Laxmi learns that hair isn't just
for heads, but that it grows everywhere, regardless of gender.
Featuring affirming text by Shelly Anand and exuberant, endearing
illustrations by Nabi H. Ali, Laxmi's Mooch is a celebration of our
bodies and our body hair, in whichever way they grow.

2021 Schneider Family Book Award Young Children's Honor Book
(American Library Association) Experience the true story of
lifelong activist Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins and her participation in
the Capitol Crawl in this inspiring autobiographical picture book.
This beautifully illustrated story includes a foreword from
Jennifer and backmatter detailing her life and the history of the
disability rights movement. This is the story of a little girl who
just wanted to go, even when others tried to stop her. Jennifer
Keelan was determined to make a change-even if she was just a kid.
She never thought her wheelchair could slow her down, but the way
the world around her was built made it hard to do even simple
things. Like going to school, or eating lunch in the cafeteria.
Jennifer knew that everyone deserves a voice! Then the Americans
with Disabilities Act, a law that would make public spaces much
more accessible to people with disabilities, was proposed to
Congress. And to make sure it passed, Jennifer went to the steps of
the Capitol building in Washington DC to convince them. And,
without her wheelchair, she climbed. ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP! A
