The main character has dark eyes and hair pulled back into two pig tails secured with beads. She is very excited to open a new toy robot dog. Readers learn that a robot is a machine that works with a computer on the inside. Code from the computer tells the robot dog how to complete actions like sitting down. Similar to the biological sensors in human eyes and ears, robots use microphones as sensors in their ears and cameras as sensors in their eyes. The computer then processes information from the microphone and camera to determine how to send signals to the robot dog’s moving parts. The robot dog’s computer is like a human’s brain. The main character visits a car-making factory and sees other robots at work, and readers learn that robots can also look like snakes, birds, or a cheetah. Robots can also have positive impacts at home, deep in the ocean, and in outer space. A diagram identifies the four main parts of a robot. The illustrations are colorful and simple, helping young children focus. This book is a wonderful addition to the “Baby Loves Science” series and would make a great gift for children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoard Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-567-3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 0–3\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 20\u003cbr\u003e7 x 7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: March 17, 2026 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Board Book","offer_id":48500653981933,"sku":"45673","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/baby-loves-robotics-cover.jpg?v=1753300530"},{"product_id":"brave-little-otter-its-okay-to-wait","title":"Brave Little Otter!

Meanwhile, staffers shelve books, French students work on their pronunciation, chefs find titles on baking bread, actors in costume perform an elaborate storytime, a group of moms convenes for a book club, preteen members of a robotics club gather, and gardeners outside harvest tomatoes. Eagle-eyed youngsters will spot a tan-skinned child clad in green overalls who appears throughout, silently observing from the sidelines. As the day winds down and everyone leaves, the little one walks out, accompanied by a parent and holding a book, and the story closes with the youngster reading at last. Sanders has crafted an invitingly alliterative ode to libraries; this isn’t the stuffy, silent place of yesteryear, but a space that’s vibrant, welcoming, and wholly alive. Benda’s crowded, crisp illustrations feature people of varying skin tones, hairstyles, abilities, and ages. Some are tattooed; one wears a hijab. A Pride flag sits on the librarian’s desk—this is truly a place for every member of the community.

As Fox, Mouse, and Crow commiserate, irrepressible Squirrel arrives and airily suggests a refreshing swim in the lake. His friends refuse to follow as he leaps into the water, and though Squirrel calls them “fraidy-cats,” they stay where they are. Squirrel grows chilly, but when he tries to climb out, he can’t make it up the slippery rocks. His friends note his lack of caution (“If this isn’t typical of our dear Squirrel, I don’t know what is”) but are quick to help. Flying above, Crow spots a flat place, and the others help guide Squirrel to it. Then Squirrel keeps watch while the others swim. As night falls, a perfect day comes to a lovely end as fireflies dot the air and a crescent moon looms above. Ten tips for safe swimming follow, along with a link to the Red Cross. This fitting addition to Kulot’s seasonal series (Autumn taught youngsters about the importance of listening to each other; Winter, about sharing) combines lessons in safety with artfully naïve landscapes in gold, green, and blue and appealing semi-anthropomorphized animals. Lauffer’s unrhymed translation from German is informal, vernacular, and smooth.\u003cbr\u003e\nDeftly packaged lessons in aquatic safety and in cooperation.\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eCrow, Fox, and Mouse are listless and uncomfortable on a hot summer day. In contrast, Squirrel is “bright-eyed and bushy-tailed,” announcing that taking a swim is better than complaining about the heat. “Without a second thought,” Squirrel launches himself into the water. After calling his friends “fraidy-cats,” he enjoys the cooling water while trying to convince his friends to join him. They all look warily at the water. They do not join him. Unfortunately, Squirrel cannot get out of the lake when he starts to get cold because of some slippery rocks. While acknowledging Squirrel’s daring, the three friends bemoan Squirrel’s lack of planning. Even so, they work together to help him. After getting Squirrel out, Crow, Fox, and Mouse set aside their earlier concerns about swimming and splash about happily in the lake while Squirrel watches with parental concern. As the sun sets, the heat cools, and the fireflies dance under the glow of the moon, the four friends realize that a “long, hot summer day at the lake isn’t half bad.” The end pages contain swimming safety rules. Kulot’s story celebrates how friends can help one another overcome fears and stay safe. Her illustrations are lush with the verdant greens and deep blues of summer; the faces of the animal friends are endearing, with big oval eyes and sweet smiles. VERDICT For most collections, a cheerful celebration of friendship, overcoming fears, and swimming in the summertime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-669-4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 3–7\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e8 x 10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: April 21, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48504528896237,"sku":"46694","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/at-the-summer-lake-cover.jpg?v=1753300531"},{"product_id":"baseball-for-breakfast","title":"Baseball for Breakfast","description":"\n\u003ch1\u003eBaseball for Breakfast\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA (Mostly) True Story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/judy-campbell-smith\"\u003eJudy Campbell-Smith\u003c\/a\u003e \/ Illustrated by: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/maggie-carroll\"\u003eMaggie Carroll\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTake me out to the ball game . . .\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJimmy’s family loves going to Milwaukee Brewers games together, but all that changes during World War II when Pop goes overseas to fight and Ma starts working nights in a factory.

But in 1941, Pop joins the Navy and Ma starts to work nights at the factory as women across the country become part of the workforce. Jimmy misses going to baseball games. One evening, he’s surprised by an offer of free tickets from the Brewers owner himself, Mr. Bill Veeck. Jimmy declines because his Ma is at work, giving Veeck an idea. Soon the news breaks that the Brewers will play morning games and offer free admission for night-shift workers. At the first game, fans are delighted when Brewers coach Red Smith pops out of a four-poster bed right in the center field, clad in his pajamas, just before the first pitch.

Through melodic third-person poetry, Metcalf describes both the scientific and women's rights advancements this little-known American inventor achieved by \"kicking the glass ceiling\/ to breathe the air above.\" Metcalf based her work of fiction on historical fact, using minimal speculation and including images of various individuals noted in the book as well as reproductions of historical documents.\n \nEunice Newton, a descendent of Isaac Newton, is born in 1819 into a family that nurtures her curiosity and independence. Her parents send Eunice to Troy Female Seminary, the only school \"in New York\/ with a mission to teach science to girls.\" At Troy, Eunice rooms with Cate Cady, sister of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and she develops a lifelong friendship with both Cadys. When Eunice marries lawyer Elisha Foote, he \"sees Eunice for her beauty \u0026amp; her brain\" and she believes he \"has the smarts \u0026amp; ambition\/ to keep pace\" with her. The pair \"vow to leap with both feet\/ into a revolution\/ \u0026amp; a future\/ united.\" Eunice goes to work inventing, but the broader world is not as open-minded as the Newtons and the Footes. \"Because of the law,\/ because of the world,\/ Eunice decides\/ her invention's best chance\/ rests in Elisha's hands.\" Elisha \"becomes the face\" of Eunice's first patented invention--Regulating the Heat of Stoves--while \"Eunice longs for the day\/ when her face will be enough.\"\n \nEunice and Elisha attend the Seneca Falls Convention, the first women's rights conference. There, they brave the risks and sign their names on the attendance roster--in the list of 100 names, Eunice's name appears fifth, after Lucretia Mott, Harriet Cady Eaton, Margaret Pryor, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. In time, the work of the women's suffrage movement enables Eunice to publish her ground-breaking discovery of carbon dioxide's effects on the atmosphere under her own name in 1857. In 1859, however, John Tyndale \"discovered the greenhouse effect,\" meaning Eunice was forgotten until 2010, when a \"retired petroleum geologist\" found Eunice's work and set the record straight.\n \nMetcalf's excellent research and her artistic approach to presenting the information create a mesmerizing reading experience. The author's clever use of figurative language emphasizes the struggles Eunice endures due to gender bias--\"Like the layers of her dress,\/ [Eunice] must peel away misbeliefs\/ one breakthrough at a time\"--and her verse (often flowing into concrete poetry) displays Eunice Newton Foote as the breathtaking work of art that she is. --Jen Forbus, freelancer\n \n\u003cbr\u003eShelf Talker: A delightful novel-in-verse corrects the history books on climate science by spotlighting the incredible life of scientist and women's rights activist Eunice Newton Foote\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA fictionalized account of the life of Eunice Newton Foote (1819–1888), a pioneering but long overlooked climate scientist, inventor, and women’s rights advocate.\u003cbr\u003e\nMetcalf traces her subject’s early years in a family that nurtured her curiosity, eventually sending her to New York’s only science-focused girls’ seminary, where her roommate was Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s sister. She married Elisha Foote, a lawyer and inventor, who supported her experiments and her fight for gender equality. In 1856, the American Association for the Advancement of Science accepted Foote’s groundbreaking study on greenhouse gases—but demanded a man present it at their convention. Elisha was voted a member of the AAAS; Foote was not. In 1860, English scientist John Tyndall was credited with “discovering” greenhouse gases. Still, Foote carried on, patenting her inventions. A speculative section in which Foote and her daughter Mary travel to Europe and confront Tyndall feels inessential to the narrative. The final chapter describes how, in 2010, retired geologist Raymond Sorenson stumbled upon Foote’s original 1856 report and wrote an article that set the record straight. Although at times her reliance on figurative language feels excessive, Metcalf’s research shines through in the vivid details and contextual information about racial and gender bias surrounding Foote, who was white. This novel in verse effectively illuminates the life of a woman who pursued science despite systemic barriers. \u003cbr\u003e\nA valuable corrective to erasure in climate science history. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eUsing unadorned verse, Metcalf (\u003ci\u003eTomatoes on Trial\u003c\/i\u003e) chronicles the experiences of scientist Eunice Newton Foote (1819–1888) combatting gender discrimination to pursue patents for her groundbreaking inventions in this comprehensive fictionalized biography of an overlooked pioneer. Born in Goshen, Conn., Foote—the youngest of 12 and cousin of Sir Isaac Newton—is raised in a science-minded family (“Justice \u0026amp; science\/ fold into curious Eunice,\/ mold into her bones”). At 15, she attends Troy Female Seminary, the country’s first school for women’s higher education. In 1841, she marries attorney Elisha Foote and, in 1842, invents a device that regulates the heat of stoves. Aware of the scientific community’s prejudice against women, Foote shares her ideas by whatever means she can, including applying for patents under her husband’s name. And when Irish scientist John Tyndall is credited with launching initial investigations into climate science in 1859, Metcalf challenges that accreditation in a poem titled “Combustion,” employing forthright lines to detail Foote’s own experiments on greenhouse gases and her subsequent findings, which were presented to the American Association of the Advancement of Science in 1856—three years before Tyndall. Diligently researched passages highlight the accomplishments of a female scientist only recently being recognized for her discoveries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThere were plenty of obstacles for a science-minded girl to pursue an education in the early 1800s, but a young Eunice Newton was lucky to have a supportive family. They scraped together the funds to send her to the Troy Female Seminary in upstate New York, where she’d not only study science but also be introduced to ideas of women’s suffrage and abolition. Post-graduation, she’d marry Elisha Foote, who would become her collaborator in invention and biggest fan; the fact that her first patent had to be recorded under her husband’s name further spurred her interest in women’s rights, and both she and Elisha would later sign the Declaration of Sentiments. Her passion for science never faltered, even as she became a mother and grandmother, and she’d eventually publish her discovery that greenhouse gases trapped heat. But that groundbreaking development was unfortunately attributed to a man, John Tyndall, who would later be considered the father of climate science. This verse novel contains an enormous amount of factual detail on a range of subjects and figures, including climate science, major players in women’s suffrage, and the US patent process. The strikingly elegant text, however, imbues the linear narrative with a hefty amount of emotion, so that the overall story is one of a fully-fleshed out character radically moving within but not defined by the social and scientific worlds of the 1800s. Eunice took on each of her roles, both professional and personal, with a deep sense of devotion and responsibility, and the book allows for an authentic picture of a woman struggling but mostly succeeding in juggling career and family. A lack of discussion around the privilege that enabled Foote’s success limits the book’s scope but not its narrative success; the poetic form, visual layout, and cohesive plot make this an exemplar of verse storytelling.

Economic difficulties on her family farm led her to Elisha, the lawyer-inventor she married. They worked side by side in their home laboratory, where Eunice invented the first heat regulator for stoves, which Elisha patented because the law did not allow women to register inventions.\nEunice continued inventing after their two daughters, Mary and Gus, were born. She was involved in the early suffragette movement. In 1856, Eunice discovered that excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere warmed Earth. A scientific assembly accepted her results but required a man to present them. Eunice continued to invent and receive patents, then stepped back to enjoy her grandchildren and deal with family tragedies. Her role in climate science was forgotten until 2010.\nThe book’s approach is innovative, befitting its story of a trailblazing inventor. Historical details are highlighted, and critical thinking is encouraged, in its short poetic lines, which are packed with meaning as they ably convey Eunice’s vitality and the turbulence of her century: “Butterflies dance \/ in late-morning sun. \/ Earth’s heartbeat sounds \/ on the cricket’s wing. \/ Eunice packs her trunk, \/ bids the farm goodbye \/ \u0026amp; takes leave eastward \/ to usher grandchild No. 2 \/ into the changing world.” Photographs of her family homestead, significant people in her life, and of her published climate findings complement its revelations.

It’s a…MOM!…You’ve introduced yourself, had a snuggle, and shared a meal. BUT…” A thought balloon reveals a newborn baby’s most pressing concern—“WHAT NOW?”—as the little one is cradled by Mom in a hospital bed. Fortunately, the narrator is here to walk a theoretical all-baby readership through Mom Care 101, dispensing both affirmations (“You’ve been preparing for this since you were the size of an avocado. If anyone can take good care of her, it’s you”) and practical advice (“Your new mom will require round-the-clock care, so it’s best to plan for staying up all night”). (Ah! So that’s why babies are awake at all hours.) In case it isn’t obvious by now, the book’s abundant humor is suited to adults familiar with new-parent agita (“Don’t plan on her wearing any one outfit for long. New moms are notorious for spit-ups and spills. It’s all part of the fun!”). While many kids will enjoy Gutierrez’s cartoonish digital art featuring adorable babies in a range of skin colors, some may be confused rather than amused by images of the book’s despondent moms.

Observing the men around him and in the media, he notices that they are “belligerent,” “powerful,” “brave,” and “reckless”—but, most importantly, they don’t cry. After creating a poster laying out the rules of masculinity, Neil sets out to be a man. He rides his bike to school without a helmet against traffic, snubs his female friend Halima, and ends up sparring with another student. Guilty over his bad behavior, Neil finds himself sobbing in the nurse’s office, where the male nurse shares that he, too, sometimes cries. Translated from Spanish, this is an empathetic tale of one boy’s attempts to grapple with masculinity. The resolution comes a bit abruptly, and the book doesn’t explore the negative impact of Neil’s misbehavior (apart from people frowning or scowling at Neil). Nor does Neil make amends to Halima, who greets him happily all the same. Still, it’s a solid start; the focus on Neil’s uncertainties and attempts to emulate those around him will spark much-needed dialogue. Turu’s dynamic, scribbly illustrations are enticing and offer many examples of traditional masculinity for adult-guided analysis, from a stoic father at a funeral to a musician surrounded by curvaceous women. Neil has light-tan skin, Halima is brown-skinned, and the nurse is pale-skinned; the supporting cast is diverse.\u003cbr\u003e\nA conversation starter for those seeking to dismantle toxic masculinity one story at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-688-5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 3–7\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 40\u003cbr\u003e8 x 10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: April 7, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48504749097197,"sku":"46885","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/men-cry-cover.jpg?v=1753300529"},{"product_id":"onward","title":"Onward","description":"\u003ch1\u003eOnward\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e16 Climate Fiction Short Stories to Inspire Hope\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdited by: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/nora-shalaway-carpenter\"\u003eNora Shalaway Carpenter\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll-star authors take on the climate crisis with courage and hope.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e★ “. . . a distinct and intriguing collection.”\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShayta cares for a tiny green plant in a futuristic world where Earth has become a barren, over-farmed landscape fraught with dirt storms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHana and her father travel by catamaran to the farthest place from land in the entire world—only to discover a giant, floating carcass of trash and a few other surprises.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWilliam and his family want to protect an endangered fish from a potential dam on a river that’s flowed through their land for generations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This inspiring collection of sixteen short stories is packed with fascinating characters and settings that illuminate current and possible changes to our planet and how humanity responds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Included here is prose, verse, and personal essays from a star-studded cast of authors diverse in ethnic background, geographic location, and socioeconomic status.

This dystopian story features a girl in an overfarmed world who finds and nurtures a virtually unheard-of resource: seeds. Kelly's brief narrative is cynically hopeful, reminding the audience of what they take for granted and showing that there's still time for change. Jeff Zentner uses poetry to tell a fictionalized account of \"Tellico Lake,\" the Tellico Dam, and the near extinction of the snail darter. Zentner emphasizes that \"it's easy to think something will never happen\/ if you can't see it happening right away.\" In Xelena González's essay \"The World Within,\" she shares a personal experience from a college writing class where she realized that \"when we look at the world through a lens of familial love, destruction becomes harder to inflict.\" The vast array of voices, perspectives, topics, and styles make \u003ci\u003eOnward\u003c\/i\u003e a distinct and intriguing collection.

The diverse contributors address readers through entries that include realistic, historical, and speculative fiction as well as a personal essay and explore water, trash, ecology, land use, climate disasters, flora and fauna, and more. Together, they convey both a slice-of-life quality and a feeling of urgency. Optimism blossoms in Erin Entrada Kelly’s “The Care and Feeding of Mother,” which is set in a futuristic, over-farmed, storm-battered world. Extinction takes center stage in the midst of student government elections in “The Manatee Is Not a Meme” by Gloria Muñoz. Jeff Zentner’s “Tellico Lake,” written in verse, is a powerful retelling of history reshaped by a dam. Many of the pieces will linger with readers. In Karina Iceberg’s “Worldfall,” the prose crackles as wildfires blaze. In “The Divining,” by Kim Johnson, water diviners find hope in both stories and water. And “Critobis,” by Aya de Leon, is a searing story of remembrance and survival set in a landscape reshaped by rising oceans. A QR code takes readers to general resources that help with action, inspiration, and mental health support, as well as materials connected to each story.\u003cbr\u003eA powerful look at a shifting world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this wide-ranging collection of poems, short stories, and an essay, climate change is explored in ways that are meant to inspire hope rather than despair, encouraging readers toward activism and a resistance against the rapid destruction and consumption of Earth’s resources. The characters are sharp and bold across multiple genres in this anthology of sixteen works, and each is able to see what needs to be done even if some are still coming to understand how they can be part of a solution. In “The Care and Feeding of Mother” by Erin Entrada Kelly, characters painstakingly grow a small plant from real seeds and real soil—amid a world in which nature is made up of trademarked replications of what once was, this becomes an act of hope and resistance. Jeff Zentner’s “Tellico Lake” is a verse story that follows a young boy and the real-life fight to keep a dam from being built in the Tennessee Valley in the 1970s when the presence of small, endangered fish grants the area a (temporary) stay of demolition. A brief foreword explores how the younger generation, perched on the edge of an environmental cliff, has responded to a tenuous future, with reactions ranging from ferocious determination to resigned apathy. The stories nudge toward the former, even while acknowledging that it can be hard to hold optimism while the world burns. There is a rich diversity of writing styles, voices, and perspectives that keeps the collection fresh and each entry distinct, though all adhere to the central theme. Brief author notes and a list of resources will be part of the final version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow do you find hope in a world “on fire”? Carpenter answers this question with a unique anthology specifically designed to combat the climate grief of “Gen Dread” through storytelling. This collection of authors, including Jeff Zentner, Erin Entrada Kelly, Kim Johnson, Gloria Muñoz, and others, uses fictionalized accounts to explore the human cost of the environmental crisis. The genres represent a vast range: Zentner delivers a heartbreaking work of historical fiction regarding the real-life Tellico Dam, while Johnson offers a speculative future where teens “divine” water in a parched Southwest. Venkatraman uses verse to tell the story of Indian refugees, and Iceberg introduces sci-fi elements through characters from the Aleut and Alutiiq Nations who possess supernatural powers. The diversity is a highlight, as the collection features South Asian, Latine, Indigenous, and Black protagonists whose cultural heritages are central to their resilience. While the writing quality is predictably uneven across the stories—some are visceral gut-punches while others feel more didactic—the overall focus on psychological resilience is highly effective. The book is bolstered by excellent information, including author’s notes on real-world events like the Flint water crisis and QR codes for immediate climate action. VERDICT This is a vital and uniquely optimistic resource. If libraries with an audience concerned about climate crisis, this is a necessary and valuable title.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis compilation of 16 short stories, essays, and poems is designed to help young people work through feelings and fears associated with climate change. With a mostly positive throughline and back matter listing further resources, the main theme is hope. Many young people are nearly paralyzed with fear regarding the inevitable effects of climate change, and hope, alongside the acknowledgement that climate change is a real problem, is a profoundly important thing to cultivate. Several stories feature dystopian settings, like the Dust Bowl–esque opening story, “The Care and Feeding of Mother,” or a wildfire-covered Alaska in “Worldfall.” Others, such as the anger-inducing “The Manatee Is Not a Meme” or the frighteningly convincing “Water Is Life,” showcase what the near future could be if one or two things go awry. All the stories feature characters that have the capability to do great things, but they’re never by themselves; a message of community radiates through the pages.

But it’s the 1950s, and Black people face barriers: “White signs \/ painted with black words \/ with a message loud and clear: \/ people like Debbie \/ are simply not welcome here.” “Here” includes the local dance school. Debbie’s mother can’t abide the thought of her daughter’s wasted potential and dashed dreams, so “with the wind at their backs, \/ they cross the border, \/ feet planted on new soil.” Charles’ poetic approach to biographizing Allen’s childhood is lovely, though at times it relegates details to the backmatter: The “new soil” where Debbie and her mother relocate isn’t identified in the main narrative, for instance, though the author’s note clarifies that it’s Mexico City. Nor does the main text clue in readers about Allen’s considerable adult accomplishments; readers learn only that Debbie returns to Houston after “some years,” continues to dance, and ultimately enjoys a successful stage career: “Beneath the white-bright lights, \/ the music sings \/ as history unfolds.” Still, the verse sparkles, and the book’s reach-for-the-sky imperative is reinforced by Lucius’ sleek and glossy digital art, in which dancing Debbie is frequently flanked by twinkly stars.\u003cbr\u003e\nUplifting and glowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-565-9\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 5–8\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e8 x 10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: February 10, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48505014354157,"sku":"45659","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/remember-her-name-cover.jpg?v=1753300530"},{"product_id":"the-cloud-that-stuck","title":"The Cloud That Stuck","description":"\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/karen-krossing\"\u003eKaren Krossing\u003c\/a\u003e \/ Illustrated by: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/dorothy-leung\"\u003eDorothy Leung\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGo away, cloud!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhoosh!

The cloud grows so big that it begins to rain, drenching Tansy. Her father gives her a raincoat and umbrella, her teacher points a fan in her direction, and best friend Rue joins her under the umbrella to play in the puddles—all of which helps “a little,” Tansy allows. Realizing that gardens like rain, Tansy proposes planting one; soon, she’s walking her cloud around every day to water the seeds. New flowers sprout, and the returning wind blows a hole in the cloud, just the right size for a sunbeam to peek through. In an author’s note, Krossing explains that her story is intended for anyone grappling with “challenges beyond their control” and adds that she drew inspiration from her own experiences with mental illness. Readers will be heartened that though Tansy’s support network does all that they can to help her cope, ultimately, she makes her own bright spot, largely through self-acceptance. Krossing imparts valuable messages to youngsters struggling with their own issues and to those that love them. Leung’s illustrations have a textured coarseness, making effective use of perspective and relying on slightly over-the-top visuals. Tansy is brown-skinned; other characters vary in skin tone.\u003cbr\u003e\nA heartwarming and convincing tale for kids seeking to ride out life’s rainclouds. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eChildren's Literature\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe wind blows a cloud right over Tansy’s head. Stuck there, it blocks the sun. Tansy tries to get rid of the cloud. She asks the wind to blow it away again; she bikes fast; she asks her dad to pull it. The stubborn cloud remains. At school, even her teacher notices, and her friend Rue asks her why she has a pet cloud. Tansy insists the cloud is a pest. The cloud gets bigger and darker, and it starts to rain. Tansy becomes so distraught that she announces she hates clouds. She even begins to forget what sunshine feels like. Offering their help in ways they can, Tansy’s dad gives her an umbrella, a raincoat, and rainboots, and her teacher points a fan in her direction. These tools help Tansy cope and feel a bit of sunshine. On the playground, Rue joins Tansy under her umbrella, and they realize that the cloud could be put to good use watering a garden! When the flowers bloom, Tansy figures her cloud isn’t such a pest. When the wind comes back, it doesn’t blow the cloud completely away or stop the rain completely, but it does blow a hole in it—a hole just enough for a sunbeam, which brings a rainbow too. The final page has an author’s note discussing how some problems cannot be solved, including the challenges of mental illness, but that there are ways to lighten the darkness. While an important message and well-intended, the inclusion of this closing page as written is likely to be too heavy for the book’s intended audience; however, it may give caregivers a starting point for discussing the book’s core message together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-572-7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 6–9\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e8 x 10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: April 14, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48505178161389,"sku":"45727","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/the-cloud-that-stuck-cover.jpg?v=1753300530"},{"product_id":"sometimes-we-pray","title":"Sometimes We Pray","description":"\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/mary-wagley-copp\"\u003eMary Wagley Copp\u003c\/a\u003e \/ Illustrated by: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/felishia-henditirto\"\u003eFelishia Henditirto\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDiscover the diverse ways people around the world pray—through movement, stillness, and connection.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople have prayed for centuries, and it is a significant component of most, if not all, religions.

The story follows Maricruz and her papi on a trip to the store in their truck, but through each small moment, readers see the quiet and powerful ways that Papi says “I love you.” Aguilera’s emotive and painterly illustrations are full of color and movement, reflecting the warmth of the Mexican setting through its architecture, markets, and everyday life. The subtlety of exploring the different love languages through touch, acts of service, and words of affirmation combine to remind readers that love isn’t always demonstrated with spoken words but can be presented through the ­smallest actions. A helpful vocabulary page at the end reinforces the bilingual learning. Maricruz and her family have brown skin.

Maricruz takes charge of the grocery list as they head to the store, and Papi makes sure her seatbelt is fastened, just one of the many small ways he shows his love. Maricruz treasures their time together: visiting her tía’s house, cruising around the courtyard plaza, and driving through a muddy arroyo. Throughout the day, Papi quietly demonstrates his affection through gentle words and thoughtful behaviors. Though he never says “I love you,” his care is unmistakable. Centering Maricruz’s perspective, this is a heartfelt reflection on how love can be shown through actions rather than words. It’s a warm reminder of the value of quality time with a parent. Aguilera’s vibrant, richly colored illustrations bring the day to life, capturing both the beauty of the landscape and the warmth of their father\/daughter bond. Ruiz’s author’s note at the end introduces the concept of love languages and explores the different ways people show they care about those they love.

Then the bees come back to the hexagon shaped beehives and make honey! All of the bees have different jobs in the hives. Lola wears a special suit to keep her body safe from the bees just like Zora's suit. Lola learns about a bee smoker, the brood box, the queen bee, and where extra honey is stored.

Warmly rendered digital and watercolor compositions anchor the reader as young Lizzie and Mom visit the home of a friend, Joshua, who has lost his grandfather. Lizzie’s first shiva offers a natural framework for introducing Jewish mourning customs: “My mom and dad covered all the mirrors so we can think about Grandpa instead of ourselves,” Joshua notes. But the narrative also deals in universal themes—the title refers not only to the baked goods that Lizzie takes to the house but also to Joshua’s memories of his beloved, funny grandfather, and to the loving-kindness of showing up for others in times of grief. Compassionate and accessible, this story assures readers that solace can be found even in sorrow. A contextualizing author’s note concludes. Background characters are portrayed with various skin tones.

At Joshua’s home, people explain various customs to Lizzie, like ritual handwashing and covering mirrors. Though informative, these moments sometimes feel a bit clunky, clearly intended to educate readers unfamiliar with shiva rather than advance the narrative. Rabbi Sarah arrives to lead prayers and hold space for the family to share stories about Joshua’s grandpa. The family’s dog, Queenie, provides moments of levity, keeping the serious topic from becoming overwhelming and demonstrating that it’s OK to laugh even amid grief. After, Lizzie sits with Joshua while he cries and recalls his grandfather telling him to nosh on something sweet every day, because life shouldn’t be bitter. Joshua decides to eat two brownies—one for himself, and one for his grandpa—representing the sweetness that exists even in times of sorrow. Newman handles the complexity of loss with care and authenticity in an age-appropriate way. Rich’s muted, expressive watercolors are well suited to the gently solemn tone of the story. Lizzie and Mom are brown-skinned, while Joshua and his family are lighter-skinned; their community is diverse.\u003cbr\u003e\nA sensitive introduction to grief and to Jewish mourning rituals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-571-0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 5–8\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e11 x 8\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: March 24, 2026 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48514317844717,"sku":"45710","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/something-sweet-cover.jpg?v=1754671077"},{"product_id":"love-that-baby-hair","title":"Love That Baby Hair!","description":"\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/alliah-agostini\"\u003eAlliah Agostini\u003c\/a\u003e \/ Illustrated by: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/sawyer-cloud\"\u003eSawyer Cloud\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eNothing like that baby hair, baby waby baby hair! \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom no hair to 'fro hair and just-got-my-first-haircut-hair, delight in playful descriptions of diverse baby hair styles seen on newborns to toddlers. \u003ci\u003eLove That Baby Hair!\u003c\/i\u003e encourages young ones in the earliest stages of life to embrace the characteristics that make us special and unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn inclusive and rhythmic read-aloud picture book for young readers to learn about positive self-image and self-confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER RECOMMENDATIONS BELOW - - - - - - - -- - - --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"recommended-books\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you like this book, you’ll enjoy these: \u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/black-hair-can\"\u003eBlack Hair Can\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/shhh-the-babys-asleep\"\u003eShhh!

Just as the cousins begin playing their favorite game, they notice a mooncake is missing from the box that Mina brought. Luna, with tan skin and brown hair, dons oversized detective-like clothing to tackle an investigation into the pilfered pastry. Luna and Mina insightfully eliminate possible suspects and search for proof through clues that are cleverly placed into the story’s framework through the illustrations. As the plot unfolds, readers also become detectives, and the probability of discovering the yummy holiday food staple and after-dinner dessert is crucial to recovering the treat. Imagination along with a well-crafted scenario create a palpable mystery that is quite palatable, as readers crave the suspense from page to page while attempting to link clues to solve the mystery. Luna’s diverse family includes grown-ups, siblings, and cousins with various hair colors and skin tones. Combining witty plot development and humor raveled with clues embedded inside the illustrations, this story encourages young mystery lovers to learn to develop assessments, make informed decisions, and collaborate with others. VERDICT This joyful whodunit encourages critical and analytical thinking, as well as problem-solving skills and awareness using a recognizable extended family structural setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-466-9\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-467-6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpanish Bilingual Hardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-468-3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpanish Bilingual Paperback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-469-0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 3–6\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e9\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e x 9\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: August 12, 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Spanish Bilingual Hardcover","offer_id":48605004005613,"sku":"44683","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Spanish Bilingual Paperback","offer_id":48605004038381,"sku":"44690","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"English Hardcover","offer_id":48605003940077,"sku":"44669","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"English Paperback","offer_id":48605003972845,"sku":"44676","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/luna-y-el-caso-de-los-pasteles-cover.jpg?v=1756397055"},{"product_id":"snowy-owl-rescue","title":"Snowy Owl Rescue","description":"\u003ch6\u003ePaperback edition coming September 29.

Team Co-Captain Michael is headed to the soccer field for some kicking practice. Without warning, something whizzes silently past his head, and he finds himself face down on the school’s snow-encrusted parking lot. Changing his mind about practicing, Michael heads home, but stops when he spots Jet. Armed with binoculars, Jet is watching a snowy owl perched on the soccer goal’s metal frame. Together, they watch the owl capture and eat a rat. But the next day, something is wrong. They find the owl crouched on the ground, dull-eyed and not moving. A major snowstorm has just begun, and Michael and Jet must get the owl through it and to a rehab center before it dies. Donovan’s detailed black-and-white pencil sketches help preteen readers visualize the action when Michael and Jet take up the challenge of saving a poisoned raptor in middle of a snowstorm. Throughout the adventure, the author engages both boys’ and girls’ reading interests by combining a backdrop of soccer with facts about raptors, animal rescue, and snowstorm survival skills. VERDICT A recommended purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eBooklist\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eMichael is heading out to play soccer when he suddenly finds himself flat on the ground. The bewildered boy knows he didn’t trip or get pushed, but he’s certain that something grazed him. A younger student in the vicinity—“that weird kid,” Michael muses—calls him over and clears up the mystery: he was buzzed by a snowy owl! This unexpected encounter sparks Michael’s begrudging interest in both the bird and the birder, the nonbinary Jet, who proudly leads the Junior Birdwatching Club. Though Michael would prefer to focus on soccer, the injured owl leads him on an extraordinary adventure that opens him up to new possibilities. It’s a thrill to watch Michael grow from reluctantly responsible to enthusiastically interested, and Jet offers a gentle introduction to nonbinary concepts while still feeling like a fully realized character in their own right. The humor and suspense will keep readers on their toes; the clear benefits of teamwork are obvious but not overdone. A satisfying chapter-book series opener that soars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-470-6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-797-4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 7–10\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 144\u003cbr\u003e5\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e x 8\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e4\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: February 17, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48605083238637,"sku":"44706","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49986881945837,"sku":"47974","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/avian-adventurers-snowy-owl-rescue-cover.jpg?v=1753300531"},{"product_id":"sometimes-we-pray-board-book","title":"Sometimes We Pray Board Book","description":"\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/mary-wagley-copp\"\u003eMary Wagley Copp\u003c\/a\u003e \/ Illustrated by: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/felishia-henditirto\"\u003eFelishia Henditirto\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDiscover the diverse ways people around the world pray—through movement, stillness, and connection.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople have prayed for centuries, and it is a significant component of most, if not all, religions.

Manny, the titular character, has his own fashion sense and likes to dress however he wants. But sometimes he discovers that when he goes outside, he becomes too hot, too cold, or too wet. With help from his mother, he learns that he can check the outside temperature, look out a window, or even open a window to feel how the outside air feels on his skin. Young readers are invited to help Manny figure out how to dress. Manny has learned to notice the weather via his senses and technology. The author closes the book with fun weather-related activities for adults to do with young children. This book is part of the “STEAMWORKS” series of board books. The series' goal is to interest young children in STEM\/STEAM learning. Many preschool curricula have clothing units. This book would greatly enhance instruction during a unit focused either on clothing or weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"medium-cover\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/manny-matches-the-weather-cover.jpg?v=1764096665\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/manny-matches-the-weather-cover-hires.zip?v=1764096703\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"product-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/manny-matches-the-weather-book-guide.pdf?v=1765211101\"\u003eDownload the Book Guide (English)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"product-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/manny-matches-the-weather-book-guide-spanish.pdf?v=1765915448\"\u003eDownload the Book Guide (Spanish)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"product-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/manny-matches-weather-window-art-activity.pdf?v=1765915450\"\u003eDownload the Window Art Activity (English)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"product-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/manny-matches-weather-window-art-activity-spanish.pdf?v=1765915450\"\u003eDownload the Window Art Activity (Spanish)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"product-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/manny-matches-weather-matching-activity.pdf?v=1765915445\"\u003eDownload the Weather Matching Activity (English)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"product-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/manny-matches-weather-matching-activity-spanish.pdf?v=1765915445\"\u003eDownload the Weather Matching Activity (Spanish)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"product-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/manny-matches-the-weather-cards.pdf?v=1765915452\"\u003eDownload the Weather Cards (English)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"product-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/manny-matches-the-weather-clothing-cards-activity.pdf?v=1765211104\"\u003eDownload the Clothing Cards (English)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnglish Board Book\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-673-1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpanish Bilingual Board Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-674-8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 0-3\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 20\u003cbr\u003e5\u003csup\u003e7\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e8\u003c\/sub\u003e x 5\u003csup\u003e7\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e8\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublication date: May 5, 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"English Board Book","offer_id":49089428259053,"sku":"46731","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Spanish-English Bilingual Board Book","offer_id":49089437827309,"sku":"46748","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/manny-matches-the-weather-cover.jpg?v=1764622588"},{"product_id":"manny-y-el-tiempo-hacen-juego-manny-matches-the-weather","title":"Manny y el tiempo hacen juego \/ Manny Matches the Weather","description":"\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/jenny-lacika\"\u003eJenny Lacika\u003c\/a\u003e \/ Illustrated by: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/antonieta-munoz-estrada\"\u003eAntonieta Muñoz Estrada\u003c\/a\u003e \/ Translated by: Anyeliz Pagán Muñoz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAcompaña a Manny a explorar la temperatura y el tiempo, ¡porque el STEAM es para todos y está en todos lados!\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e¡Manny tiene estilo!

Mami demonstrates the weather and temperature on her phone’s weather app, but Manny wants to know what clothes work best by himself. Manny uses visual clues to discern the weather outside, like checking for rain or snow. He also feels the temperature to adjust his outfits. Manny finally decides to mix and match so his outfits cover weather, temperature, and other aspects like rain or sunshine. This bilingual Spanish\/English board book is intended to help young children learn about weather patterns, temperatures, how to check for changes, and appropriate attire. Lacika’s text is clear and age appropriate. Muñoz ­Estrada’s illustrations use vibrant colors and specific details to denote the different weather patterns, temperatures, and textures in Manny’s outfits. The text and illustrations are well matched. It is also available in separate English and Spanish editions. ­Educators can use the included tips and guided questions in STEAM curriculum.\nVERDICT This vibrantly illustrated bilingual title is a great introduction to weather and temperature concepts and would be a good addition to preschool STEAM curricula and library collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- -

As tanks rumble past and gunfire echoes in the distance, her family and neighbors remain indoors with the shutters closed tight. Inside, her tía offers quiet reassurance, echoed by the steady pressure cooker shushing on the stove. Lucinda’s mamá responds to the tension by preparing a meal for family and neighbors seeking refuge. The familiar aromas gradually replace the scent of smoke drifting in from outside. When Lucinda wonders how Mamá can cook at a time like this, her mother explains that although they cannot control what is happening beyond their walls, they can each work to create safety and comfort within them. Later, when the lights go out, Abuela gently reminds the family that they can make their own light through care for one another. Soft pastel illustrations and expressive faces emphasize the tenderness shared among neighbors. The story closes with the community stepping outside to tidy their street, carrying forward a sense of hope. Lucinda’s journey affirms that fear is natural in uncertain times and that even small acts of care can steady a community.\u003cbr\u003eA poignant tale in which love and shared purpose become a family’s brightest light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA girl and her family pull together during a chaotic night in this hopeful picture book set during the Cuban Revolution (1953–1959). Armored tanks rumble in the streets and awful smells of smoke and ­gunpowder fill the air in Lucinda’s town of Santa Clara. Her family shelters inside their humble home, taking in neighbors and extended family. Scenes alternate between their hurried reactions to the blasts and shouts in the streets and the blackout to the measured and familiar steps that Lucinda’s mom takes to make rice, beans, and picadillo, a Cuban dish of seasoned ground beef. Herrera uses onomatopoeia to immerse readers into the scene, with both the tap, tap, tap of Lucinda’s racing heart and her mother’s wooden spoon. The changes in font help reinforce what the characters are feeling. Digital illustrations capture the tensions inside and outside, while remaining sensible to a child’s experience of war and uncertainty. An author’s note details the inspiration for this tale, based on her mother’s experience during the Cuban Revolution. The message that everyone can do their parts to shine a light in the midst of darkness and situations out of their control will resonate with many children. The characters have tan skin. A recipe for picadillo is included in the back matter.\u003cbr\u003e\nVERDICT A strong choice for most picture book collections, especially where there are communities enduring hardship and ­recent trauma. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnglish Hardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-759-2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpanish Hardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-819-3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 6–9\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 40\u003cbr\u003e8 x 10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: June 9, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"English Hardcover","offer_id":49093411832045,"sku":"47592","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Spanish Hardcover","offer_id":49093431951597,"sku":"48193","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/a-light-for-lucinda-cover.jpg?v=1764688545"},{"product_id":"una-luz-para-lucinda","title":"Una luz para Lucinda","description":"\n\u003ch1\u003eUna luz para Lucinda\u003c\/h1\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eUna historia de la Revolución cubana\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/olga-herrera\"\u003eOlga Herrera\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eCrearemos nuestra propia luz.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCuando la violencia militar brota en las calles del barrio de Lucinda, su familia se une para empujar muebles contra las puertas, rellenar grietas con servilletas húmedas y encender velas durante la noche.

That’s enough: Louie refuses to go back in. His wise grandfather takes him fishing on the lake instead, but that isn’t any better. In fact, any body of water, right down to a bubble bath, makes Louie “jumpy,” “suspicious,” and subject to “the heebie-jeebies.” At the library, he and his grandpa research sharks: their numerous species, their varied sizes, their life spans, and more. Louie’s glad to hear that shark attacks are rare, but all the same, he keeps his distance from the book Grandpa reads from. Eventually Louie confides that he imagines a shark leaping from his teacup, pursuing him on his bike, springing from his sandbox, and even emerging toothily from the toilet. Apparently well-informed on child development, Grandpa doesn’t try futile reasoning. Instead, he shares his own irrational childhood phobia and how, with time and work, he “learned to live with it.” Louie does the work and eventually passes on the wisdom to his grandchild. Both the folksy text and the upbeat art—featuring pops of neon-bright color, Grandpa’s extravagant mustache, and touches of humor—balance the worries of a “world [that] can be scary” with reassurance that young people are capable of coping with those fears.\u003cbr\u003e\nTackles childhood anxieties with a mix of humor and genuine empathy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-769-1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 3–7\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e9\u003csup\u003e4\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e5\u003c\/sub\u003e x 9\u003csup\u003e4\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e5\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: May 5, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49093873238253,"sku":"47691","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/i-could-be-eaten-by-a-shark-cover.jpg?v=1764096661"},{"product_id":"luna-picks-a-lucky-dumpling","title":"Luna Picks a Lucky Dumpling","description":"\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/natasha-yim\"\u003eNatasha Yim\u003c\/a\u003e \/ Illustrated by: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/violet-kim\"\u003eViolet Kim\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat are the odds?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuna and her cousin Mina are making sticky-rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival.

Each year, her mama prepares the dumplings and tucks salted duck egg yolks inside a select few. Everyone hopes to choose one of the lucky egg-filled dumplings. After the dumplings are assembled, Luna mixes them up on the platter. She wants to make sure her little brother gets a lucky dumpling, as it’s the first time, he is old enough to eat them. But when he falls asleep and guests begin selecting dumplings without him, the probability of his success steadily diminishes. This lively installment in the “Storytelling Math” series seamlessly blends cultural tradition with accessible math concepts, offering young readers a concrete, visual way to understand probability. Back matter provides additional math explorations to extend learning, along with a brief explanation of the Dragon Boat Festival and a link to a video demonstrating how to make sticky-rice dumplings. Kim’s bright, engaging illustrations feature Luna’s family and friends in large, expressive scenes; the changing arrangements of dumplings on each platter clearly reinforce the mathematical concept at work.

Some figures will likely be familiar, such as singer Billie Eilish, “a girl with Tourette’s” who “turned tics into chords”; others may be new to readers, like Liam Garner, an autistic youth who biked from Alaska to Argentina. A brief biography and a motivational tip (“Use your unique perspective to solve problems”) follow each poem. Bradley’s photorealistic illustrations convey subjects’ joy and determination. Some lines feel cliched, as when Vanessa Brantley-Newton’s double couplet series “Her Name Means Light” proclaims Helena Donato-Sapp—an anti-bullying advocate with ADHD, visual processing and memory disorders, and dyscalculia—“young yet wise beyond her years.” Others are thought provoking; Sally J. Pla’s free-verse intro to Dara McAnulty, who is autistic and who wrote the award-winning A Young Naturalist’s Diary, concludes that “saving Nature \/ is the only way \/ we can save \/ ourselves.” Hannah Emerson’s “Dear Adam” echoes the cadence of nonspeaking autistic poet Adam Wolfond (who communicates with a text-to-speech app): “floating reality \/ becoming dear great treeing \/ named Adam yes yes.” A list of affirmations matched to each subject (“You are not broken. Helena refuses shame for her identities”) summarizes the encouraging collection. Backmatter includes author information and defines terms, poetic forms, and conditions portrayed here, which include Down syndrome, anxiety, and stuttering.\u003cbr\u003e\nEclectic and empowering. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-583-3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 5–9\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 40\u003cbr\u003e10 x 10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: June 2, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49098365468909,"sku":"45833","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/no-brain-the-same-cover.jpg?v=1764860113"},{"product_id":"sunrise-sail","title":"Sunrise Sail","description":"\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/charles-trevino\"\u003eCharles Trevino\u003c\/a\u003e \/ Illustrated by: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/maribel-lechuga\"\u003eMaribel Lechuga\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eSunrise.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGo on a stunning sailing journey in a story where every single word starts with the letter S!

In the near-darkness, the “stowaway” spotted on the prow first seems to be a “skunk” (“Scat! Scram!”) but turns out to be a tan-and-white pup that leaps overboard but is soon fished out. The sunrise is “spectacular!”; at lunchtime they land on a pleasant island. A “sudden squall” sends them scrambling, but it soon passes, and all three slumber in the sun. Waking, the dog sniffs and strides to the empty slip: The boat has drifted off! When the humans find themselves “stranded!” they are stunned. But they spot the stowaway swimming with the painter in its mouth, towing the boat back (a helpful wind billowing the canvas). The three sail off, the boat’s name, Serendipity, having proven prophetic. As in the earlier book, the selection of words is sensitive and effective: Clear sans-serif type makes many of them suitable for early reading. The humans are tan-skinned in Lechuga’s realistic, colorful visuals, which blend full-bleed illustrations and a few vignettes, perfectly matching the text’s simple, lovely spirit, conveying both serenity and suspense. The subtle, silent bonding of dog, child, and caregiver is especially sweet.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpare, satisfying, sibilant storytelling. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eChildren's Literature\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe stars are still out when a little boy and his grandfather set sail on their sailboat, Serendipity. But a stowaway has come aboard for the sail, too! A dog leaps out of the boat, swims around, and is scooped back into the sailboat by the grandfather. As they sail slowly, a spectacular sunrise unfolds. They stop for snacks and a bit of play before a squall. When the skies calm, they take a nap. When the little boy and his grandfather wake, they find that their sailboat has sailed away without them. They’re stranded—until they notice their new stowaway friend tugging the boat back to the dock. Together, the trio sails back home under blue skies. This book is cleverly captured in the text, where every word begins with the letter “s”. This alliteration could help strengthen children’s phonemic awareness. The illustrations pair nicely with the limited text and supplement the storytelling, prompting deeper discussions that support children’s oral language skills, such as narrative skills. A final page offers an author’s note on storytelling in American Sign Language, defines and labels a figure with the parts of a sailboat, and explains what serendipity means and how it relates to the story’s problem resolution. A fun read-aloud for all children, and perhaps a particular benefit for some speech therapy applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-615-1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 3–7\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e11 x 8\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: May 12, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49098416816365,"sku":"46151","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/sunrise-sail-cover.jpg?v=1764096659"},{"product_id":"whos-making-that-big-stink","title":"Who's Making That Big STINK?!","description":"\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/darrin-lunde\"\u003eDarrin Lunde\u003c\/a\u003e \/ Illustrated by: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/erica-chen\"\u003eErica J.

Lunde begins by highlighting odiferous overachievers—from the fabulously feculent striped skunk to the bombardier beetle (which sprays an irritant from its rear when disturbed) to—representing the plant kingdom—the evocatively named corpse flower. From there he moves on to strong but less offensive tangs such as the binturong’s popcorn smell, the beaver’s vanilla-scented “goo,” and the flowery oil that male ring-tailed lemurs rub on their tails to attract mates. The author admits that the purple clouds emitted by sea hares may or may not carry a smell but do somehow distract predatory spiny lobsters. In the same crowd-pleasing vein, he brings his redolent revue to a close with an appropriately waggish salute to the hippo, who flings poop with its whirling tail and so makes the dung hit the fan. Though otherwise naturalistically placed and posed, Chen’s creatures bear almost human expressions, and many are wreathed in visible swirls of funk.\u003cbr\u003e\nA gleeful gallery for any reader with a nose for nature. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eChildren's Literature\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eCalling all nature lovers, amateurs, and masters, big and small, this book is well worth a look.

Lunde helps his young readers correlate the wonders of the world with items and smells found at home and in everyday locations, making it easier for them to distinguish and connect.

With her college fund going to her mom’s stint in Hope House, Fallon is counting on money from her gaming channel to pay for her future. The opportunity of a lifetime arises when she’s selected, along with other up-and-coming streamers and influencers, to participate in SleuthIt, a live-action Clue-like mystery game with a million-dollar prize at stake. In a mansion littered with clues and red herrings, the eight racially diverse young participants—Fallon, A’Nyah, Connor, Dante, Flip, Hudson, Macie, and Ravi—are assigned alter egos and backstories to fit the 1920s-themed murder mystery. They must solve the mystery while entertaining the viewers or risk getting sent home. Fallon thinks there’s more going on beneath the surface: Why do the contestants seem to have previous drama with each other, and why do the clues seem to change? Although the premise of a mystery reality show is engaging, the execution is convoluted, making the characterization the real star. Fallon’s journey from being distrustful, angry, and lonely to developing real self-awareness—plus the sweet romance that develops between her and a fellow contestant—will keep the pages turning and readers rooting for her happiness and success. \u003cbr\u003e\nA mystery that stands out due to its strong character growth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eFallon is a rising video gamer and content creator who applies to a murder-mystery-themed reality competition hoping to grow her audience and win a million-dollar prize. When she’s selected, Fallon discovers the game is a fully immersive, live-streamed experience set in the 1920s, centered on the murder of Ms. Cherry. SleuthIt unfolds inside a sprawling mansion, where Fallon and seven other content creators compete by uncovering clues, forging alliances, and staying in character throughout the game, all while letting fans in on their every move. As the competition intensifies, Fallon begins to realize that there’s far more at stake than solving a fictional crime. Caught among rival players, a demanding audience, and her drive to win, she unexpectedly discovers deeper truths about herself along the way. Richards has crafted a classic whodunit that immerses readers in a game of Clue reimagined through the eyes of modern content creators. This innovative blend of live-streaming culture with a fictional murder mystery set in the 1920s creates a fresh and compelling narrative. While the novel may particularly resonate with a younger YA audience, older mystery fans will find themselves eagerly solving the game alongside the characters. Beyond the competition ¬itself, the story reveals ¬unexpected emotional depth, exploring Fallon’s personal struggles and the lingering ghosts of her past. ¬Fallon is presumed white, while the supporting competitors of the game represent a range of diverse backgrounds. \nVERDICT Highly entertaining and immersive, this murder-mystery will captivate genre fans as well as readers drawn to influencer culture and gaming.

Specific key female figures in sports history are depicted. Some of these pioneers include Senda Bernsen Abbot, considered the mother of women’s basketball; Gertrude Ederle, the first woman to swim across the English Channel; and Althea Gibson, who was the first person of color to get a grand slam in tennis. There is also a reference to sports in Ancient Greece and the Heraean Games—women’s footraces dedicated to the goddess Hera. The straightforward translation will be accessible to young readers. Gibbon’s full-color, fanciful illustrations complement each page’s focus. This nonfiction work includes a timeline of groundbreaking women in sports history, an author’s note about the expression “play like a girl,” and a detailed bibliography, including further reading.

After early nods to women excluded from the ancient and early modern Olympics, the text introduces a series of American women in sports, such as Gertrude Ederle swimming the English Channel in 1926 and Althea Gibson winning the French Open tennis tournament in 1956. Meanwhile, women marched for equal rights and congresswomen worked for new laws, culminating in Title IX, which created a more level playing field for girls and women in school sports. While the historical section of the text might challenge primary-grade children at times, a very accessible illustrated page opens and closes the book with these encouraging words, \"Look at you ... springing, \/ kicking, \/ dribbling \/ and pitching it down the pike. \/ Girl, you are amazing!\" Created with acrylic, ink, and color pencils, the stylized artwork defines each historical period and maintains a buoyant tone throughout the book.

César wants to borrow one of his little sister’s crayons, but she won’t let him touch them. Only Gabi can give him the crayon he wants, if only she can figure out what cerulean is. Thus ensues a clever process of elimination, with territorial Gabi facing off against the increasingly frustrated ­César. It’s a window into an all-too-familiar sibling ­dynamic, a slice of life many readers can identify with. Along with the subtle math hints, both Gabi and César sprinkle in Spanish words. Further explanation can be found in an author’s note, along with interactive tips for adults, showing how to encourage the math connections during reading.
