It seems that wherever Aria goes, someone wants to touch her hair.
In the street, strangers reach for her fluffy curls; and even under
the sea, in the jungle, and in space, she's chased by a mermaid,
monkeys, and poked by aliens... until, finally, Aria has had
enough! This humorous board book will spark an important
conversation on personal boundaries for children. Commercial,
imaginative, and fun, Don't Touch My Hair! can be used to teach
young readers about asking for permission--and that it's all right
to be told "no" as well. Sharee Miller takes the tradition of
appreciation of black hair to a fresh, commercial level, as she
doesn't seek to convince or remind young readers that their curls
are beautiful--she simply acknowledges black beauty at an early age
in this board book format.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama had an idea. A big, inspiring, and
exciting idea! She would grow the largest kitchen garden ever at
the White House. This wouldn't be easy, since she'd never gardened
before. But where should she start? What tools did she need? What
would she plant? Everyone needs help when they're learning
something for the first time, even the First Lady of the United
States. So she gathered the help of local students, the White House
staff, and even President Barack Obama. Together, they wouldn't
just grow a garden--they would inspire a nation!

From Academy Award-nominated actress Quvenzhané Wallis comes the first story in a brand-new series about best friends Shai and Emmie, two third graders destined for superstardom.
Shai Williams was born to be a star (or a veterinarian--and maybe a dentist). She attends a special elementary school for the performing arts, and her grandma Rosa and aunt Mac-N-Cheese are both actresses. So Shai is shocked when she doesn't get the lead role in the third-grade musical. Instead, the part goes to the new girl, Gabby Supreme, who thinks she is better than everyone else.
To add insult to injury, Ms. Gremillion has now asked Shai to help Gabby with the role. Shai reluctantly agrees and enlists Emmie to help, but Gabby isn't going to make it easy. As opening night draws near, Shai discovers that making a new friend is sometimes like putting on a show--it requires dedication, patience, and lots and lots of practice.
Princesses with head wraps take long naps. Princesses with curls
wear pearls. And princesses with teeny-weeny afros wear teeny-weeny
bows. Debut author-illustrator Sharee Miller's picture book
celebrates different shapes, textures, and styles of black hair,
from dreadlocks, to blowouts, to braids (and more!), shining a
spotlight on the beauty and diversity of black hair with playful,
colorful illustrations and an endearing text with great read-aloud
quality. Nearly twenty years ago, Natasha Tarpley and E.B. Lewis
brought LBYR the evergreen, ever-selling I Love My Hair!, showing
the need for books providing and encouraging self-affirmation for
young black girls--and while I Love My Hair! helped to fill a gap,
Princess Hair adds a more playful, contemporary offering to address
this ongoing need in the market. While this is Sharee's first book
as an author-illustrator, she has built a platform as an
illustrator who celebrates black hair and young black readers,
having illustrated the upcoming book by actress Quevenzhane Wallis
(of Beasts of the Southern Wild and Annie fame). Sharee's prolific
talents could help her become a strong brand for picture books
celebrating young black readers on our list. Discovered as a
self-published book, Princess Hair has been added as a Fall 2017
drop-in title, fast-tracked for hardcover publication.
A joyful picture book about a disabled girl with cerebral palsy who
goes back-to-school shopping with her best friends, from
#DisabledandCute creator and The Pretty One author Keah Brown. Sam
loves herself, learning, and making her family and friends laugh.
She also loves comfortable seats, including a graceful couch named
after Misty Copeland and Laney, the sassy backseat of Mom's car.
After a busy morning of rest, Sam and her friends try on cute
outfits at the mall and imagine what the new school year might
bring. It's not until Sam feels tired, and the new seat she meets
isn't so super, that she discovers what might be her best idea all
day. With hilarious, charming text by Keah Brown and exuberant
illustrations by Sharee Miller, Sam's Super Seats celebrates the
beauty of self-love, the power of rest, and the necessity of
accessible seating in public spaces. Includes narrative description
of art for those with low/limted vision.
