This is the illustrated story of 23 soccer players who worked together to become World Cup champions and heroes to millions of men, women, boys, and girls across America and around the world.
In July 2019, a record number of people all around the world tuned in to watch the Women's World Cup, which took place in France. Fifty-two games, twenty-four teams, four weeks . . . one winner.
Megan Rapinoe had waited for this day since she attended a World Cup game as a teenager, and Alex Morgan had set her sights on a World Cup victory of her own as she watched Mia Hamm, Brandi Chastain, and Team USA win in 1999. Years of hard work, determination, and practice put Megan, Alex, and their teammates in the perfect position, and they took full advantage.
Rose Lavelle, Tobin Heath, Alyssa Naeher, Crystal Dunn, Ali Krieger, Julie Ertz, Carli Lloyd, and the rest of the US Women's National Team returned home from France with the title, the trophy, and their nation's pride, becoming the first team in history to win four Women's World Cup titles! New York City threw a parade in their honor, and fans lined the streets, clapping and cheering and chanting their names. These women were on top of the world--they'd come so far. They'd achieved their dreams!
World Cup Women highlights Team USA's tournament experience and provides a glimpse into what shot them to the top . . . and what may keep them there a little longer.

In a beautiful and poetic reflection, Ruby Bridges tells her story
as never before and shares the events of the momentous day in 1960
when Ruby became the first child to integrate the school system as
a six year old little girl -- a personal and intimate look through
a child's lens at a landmark moment in our Civil Rights history. My
work will be precious, I will be a bridge between people. I will
bridge the "gap" between black & white. . but hopefully all
people! I suppose some things in life are just meant to be. When
Ruby Bridges was just six years old, she became the first African
American student to integrate an elementary school in the South.
Based on the pivotal events that happened in 1960 and told from her
own point of view for the first time, in a poetic reflection on her
experience that changed the face of history and the trajectory of
the Civil Rights movement. I Am Ruby Bridges offers hope and
confidence to all children and is a perfect learning tool for
schools and libraries to teach the story of Ruby Bridges as never
before and introducing this landmark story to young readers in a
powerful new way. This story of innocence and courage is brought to
life by NAACP-nominated artist, Nikkolas Smith through stunning and
beautiful illustrations.Embracing the meaning of her name, Bridges
reflects with poignancy and heart on the way one brave little girl
stood proud and tall to help build a bridge between all people and
pave the path for future generations.

The 1619 Project's lyrical picture book in verse chronicles the
consequences of slavery and the history of Black resistance in the
United States, thoughtfully rendered by Pulitzer Prize-winning
journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and Newbery honor-winning author
Renee Watson. A young student receives a family tree assignment in
school, but she can only trace back three generations. Grandma
gathers the whole family, and the student learns that 400 years
ago, in 1619, their ancestors were stolen and brought to America by
white slave traders. But before that, they had a home, a land, a
language. She learns how the people said to be born on the water
survived. And the people planted dreams and hope, willed themselves
to keep living, living. And the people learned new words for love
for friend for family for joy for grow for home. With powerful
verse and striking illustrations by Nikkolas Smith, Born on the
Water provides a pathway for readers of all ages to reflect on the
origins of American identity.
