A heartwarming picture book following a group of boys from
different backgrounds throughout the school year as they become the
best of friends. Musa's feeling nervous about his first day of
school. He's not used to being away from home and he doesn't know
any of the other kids in his class. And when he meets classmates
Moises, Mo, and Kevin, Musa isn't sure they'll have much in common.
But over the course of the year, the four boys learn more about
each other, the holidays they celebrate, their favorite foods, and
what they like about school. The more they share with each other,
the closer they become, until Musa can't imagine any better
friends. In this charming story of friendship and celebrating
differences, young readers can discover how entering a new
friendship with an open mind and sharing parts of yourself brings
people together. And the calendar of holidays at the end of the
book will delight children as they identify special events they can
celebrate with friends throughout the year.

In a sparkling debut authored by a sixteen-year-old daughter of
immigrants, this ode to the power of multilingualism gives voice to
the lasting benefits of speaking with more than one tongue.
Sumi’s mother can speak two languages, Malayalam and English. She
can switch between them at the speed of sound: one language when
talking to Sumi’s grandmother, another when she addresses the
shopkeeper. Sometimes she speaks a combination of both. Could it be
she possesses a superpower? With awe and curiosity, young Sumi
recounts the story of her mother’s migration from India and how
she came to acquire two tongues, now woven together like fine
cloth. Rahele Jomepour Bell’s inviting illustrations make playful
use of visual metaphors, while Uma Menon’s lyrical text, told
astutely from a child’s perspective, touches lightly on such
subjects as linguistic diversity and accent discrimination (“no
matter how they speak, every person’s voice is unique and
important”). This welcome debut, penned when the author was still
a teenager, is an unabashed celebration of the gift of
multilingualism — a gift that can transport people across borders
and around the world.

A young child tells us what makes her angry and how she tries to
let the anger come and go. An artful starting point for
conversations about strong feelings. “I get angry,” says a
little girl, looking fiercely in the mirror. Sometimes she gets
angry when someone is mean and tries to take her toy away, when it
feels unfair that there’s not enough time to go swimming, when
she’s tired and just wants to go home, or when the kids at school
leave her out, hurting her feelings. When she’s angry, she tries
to remember to use her words — even though that doesn’t always
work. Sometimes she can’t find the right words, or the words
don’t come out the way she intends. But sometimes words do help,
and when her anger melts away a new feeling can blossom. Sandra
Feder’s cleverly constructed text presents different situations
in which a child might feel angry, creating a nuanced look at anger
and its many underlying emotions. Rahele Jomepour Bell’s
illustrations show a loveable, angry little girl, brimming with
personality, who learns how to express herself as she moves through
her feelings. Key Text Features dialogue explanation illustrations

One person. Small, quiet, insignificant. But when one person, and
one person, and one person become many, they can change a planet.
Spare, poetic text and breathtaking pictures invite readers on a
stirring journey that gently illuminates the causes of climate
change as well as how our individual and collective actions can
make the world better. With calm, truthfulness, and beauty, To
Change a Planet demonstrates the importance of caring for our
planet. Eye popping explosions of color on every page create a
stunning visual narrative that invites readers to find and follow
the same characters through their daily lives and ultimately to a
climate march on Washington, where their storylines converge. Clear
endnotes vetted by a climate expert answer a myriad of questions in
simple language. Meticulously researched and brimming with hope and
hands-on solutions that will edify and empower even the youngest
readers, To Change a Planet is a loving ode to our only home and
vital for every child, classroom, and family. * "Earth's beauty and
fragility provide the impetus for activism in this introduction to
climate change...An attractive entree to a vital subject for the
youngest citizens." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review "The book's
overall tone is hopeful, centered around the conviction that, just
as we can exacerbate the effects of climate change, so too can we
forestall and reverse them." -- School Library Journal "Has the
potential to inspire all." -- Shelf Awarenes
