An unexpectedly heartfelt tale of a friendship between a boy and an
origami crane that continues throughout the boy's life. When a
boy's grandmother shows him how to fold an origami crane, the boy
and crane become instant friends. They sail around the room and
play, but the crane also watches over the boy and comforts him in a
time of loss. The crane is always on the boy's nightstand-it's the
last thing he sees each night and the first thing he sees each
morning. Over time, the boy grows older, and the crane becomes
dusty. But even when the boy becomes a young man, the crane plays a
part in the most important moments of his life. And one day, just
like his grandmother before him, the man shows his own son how to
fold origami as the crane looks on. Beautifully written and
illustrated, this story of an unlikely friendship that spans
generations reminds us how much one moment with a loved one can
affect our lives in the most meaningful way.

The amusing differences between dogs and cats are shown through
clever rhyming couplets in this lively picture book by a renowned
poet From morning to night, a cat and dog who live together show
their innate feline and canine natures. The dog barks at the
delivery man while the cat barely notices; the dog runs out to play
when the children return from school, while the cat prefers to keep
napping on the soft couch. Neither gets the better of the other in
their rhyming interchanges, and by day's end they realize that,
despite being opposites, they are happier when they're together.

celebration of the water in this remarkable picture book from
Jacqueline Davies, the award-winning author of children's classic
The Lemonade War, and Sonia Sanchez, the illustrator of Meg
Medina's Evelyn Del Rey Is Moving Away. A day at the community pool
is full of unwater magic-dunking and diving with friends;
somersaulting, walking on your hands, and bursting up through the
surface like a tortoise. But when a thunderstorm comes and a little
brother ventures too close to the pool's edge, will our main
character be quick enough and brave enough to save the day? In this
energetic read-aloud, the words swim off the pages as the
underwater world comes to life through lush, dynamic illustrations
and visual poetry. Journey to an imaginative world where, always
and forever, bubbles . . . rise . . . UP! * Junior Library Guild

From Newbery Medalist Meg Medina, the bittersweet story of two girls who will always be each other’s número uno, even though one is moving away.
A big truck with its mouth wide open is parked at the curb. Already it has gobbled up Evelyn’s mirror with heart stickers around the edge ... and the sofa that we bounce on to get to the moon.
Evelyn Del Rey is Daniela’s best friend. They do everything together and even live in twin apartments right across the street from each other: Daniela with her mami and hamster, and Evelyn with her mami, papi and cat. But not after today – not after Evelyn moves away. The girls play amid the moving boxes until it’s time to say goodbye, making promises to keep in touch, because they know that their friendship will always be special. The tenderness of Meg Medina’s beautifully written story about friendship and change is balanced by Sonia Sánchez’s colourful and vibrant depictions of the girls’ urban neighbourhood.
In a collection of poems that "mirrors her brother's struggle
against the confines of society" ("Publishers Weekly"),
African-American poet Sonia Sanchez "transforms a black and
anguished migration of the oppressed--her own brother's
AIDS-wracked body--into a ritual of memory, forgiveness, and song"
(Howard Baker, Jr.).
An extraordinary retrospective covering over thirty years of work,
"Shake Loose My Skin" is a stunning testament to the literary,
sensual, and political powers of the award-winning Sonia Sanchez.
"A searing new book. . . . (Sanchez's) poetry and prose ask the
reader to risk dizziness, to attempt to catapult the body beyond
book covers, to be ready for more of what's out there".Kimiko Hahn,
Philadelphia INQUIRER. "Raw and lyrical prose exploring the pain,
self-doubt and anger in women's lives".ESSENCE. "Sanchez's most
risk-taking adventure. . . . She makes us think".Haki Madhubuti,
EMERGE.
This volume brings together a broad range of key writings from
the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, among the most
significant cultural movements in American history. The aesthetic
counterpart of the Black Power movement, it burst onto the scene in
the form of artists' circles, writers' workshops, drama groups,
dance troupes, new publishing ventures, bookstores, and cultural
centers and had a presence in practically every community and
college campus with an appreciable African American population.
Black Arts activists extended its reach even further through
magazines such as Ebony and Jet, on television shows such as Soul
and Like It Is, and on radio programs. Many of the movement's
leading artists, including Ed Bullins, Nikki Giovanni, Woodie King,
Haki Madhubuti, Sonia Sanchez, Askia Tour?, and Val Gray Ward
remain artistically productive today. Its influence can also be
seen in the work of later artists, from the writers Toni Morrison,
John Edgar Wideman, and August Wilson to actors Avery Brooks, Danny
Glover, and Samuel L. Jackson, to hip hop artists Mos Def, Talib
Kweli, and Chuck D.
SOS -- Calling All Black People includes works of fiction,
poetry, and drama in addition to critical writings on issues of
politics, aesthetics, and gender. It covers topics ranging from the
legacy of Malcolm X and the impact of John Coltrane's jazz to the
tenets of the Black Panther Party and the music of Motown. The
editors have provided a substantial introduction outlining the
nature, history, and legacy of the Black Arts Movement as well as
the principles by which the anthology was assembled.

Brilliant Fire Amiri Baraka is an intergenerational collection of
writing from poets, dramatists, musicians, educators, historians
and cultural workers and theorists examining the work and influence
of Amiri Baraka. The dramatist, novelist and poet, Amiri Baraka is
one of the most respected and widely published African-American
writers. With the beginning of Black Civil Rights Movements during
the sixties, Baraka explored the anger of African-Americans and
used his writings as a weapon against racism. Also, he advocated
scientific socialism with his revolutionary inclined poems and
aimed at creating aesthetic through them. Amiri Baraka s writing
career spans over nearly fifty years and has mostly focused on the
subjects of Black Liberation and White Racism. Often recognized as
a key founder of the Black Arts Movement, Amiri Baraka was a
prolific writer and world-renowned poet. While this book provides
its contributors a forum in which to examine his poetic and
artistic aesthetics, Brilliant Flame will more importantly bring to
the forefront Baraka s reach as political activist, historian and
cultural visionary."
