A sweet book about an inquisitive, inventive, enthusiastic child. The questions throughout would be great for generating comments from kids during a storytime, or reading together at home! Beautifully illustrated as well.

A sensitive, affirming look at how a supportive environment can help transgender children blossom socially and grow up healthy and happy. I was already familiar with this family's story, and it's wonderful to see it told so well for children.

This book is a fantastic introduction to Indigenous peoples' history and contemporary work in the U.S. Just as I appreciated "We Are Grateful" for its educational and artistic value, I am excited to add this book to our collection!

A great introduction to sound for slightly older children, or for younger readers with adult guidance. The included activity guide is always helpful as well!

This book is an incredible resource for starting conversations about immigration and child detention at our southern border. Hear My Voice is beautifully and thoughtfully illustrated, and the supplementary materials offer a great starting point for educating children on such an emotionally challenging subject.

This collection is really just stunning. Kantor's colloquial voice deftly combines comedy and poignancy against the backdrop of a theater conceit. I'm so looking forward to purchasing my own personal print copy of this book!

The imagery in this collection of poems is incredible. It's an evocative and prescient work that blends the political and the personal seamlessly. Some of the poems read almost like a logic puzzle, and Zamora's use of language is incredible. Though it may not be a book I recommend to a beginning reader of poetry, it's certainly a rewarding read.

Jasmine Mans' collection "Black Girl, Call Home" is phenomenal in its breadth and beauty. Both heartbreaking and breathtaking, Mans' poems address a stunning expanse of Black women's experiences, while still embracing the intimacy and particularity of individual experience. A poignant, impactful expression and exploration of Black, queer womanhood.

Elhillo's novel-in-verse is a heart-rending story of grief, displacement, and nostalgia through the lens of one young woman's experience. Nima's voice is stunning, and Elhillo's deftly handles the complex ways that, in our own grief and hurt, we sometimes hurt the people we love.

A sweet, simple book, great for teaching kids about bodily autonomy in a subtle way, and encouraging hug-averse children to communicate affection differently.

Forche's poems are stunning in both their beauty and their emotional. Elegiac, richly textured, and prescient, this collection of poems does not disappoint.

Equal parts whimsical, heart-wrenching, and hilarious, 'The House in the Cerulean Sea' is a lovable fantasy for adult and young adult readers alike.

The Sky Blues is a story that's equal parts fun and heart-wrenching. This novel balances well its themes of found family, forgiveness, and self-acceptance, and immerses us in the particular world of this character while dealing with more universal questions of identity and relationships.

SPOILERS: I was not particularly fond of the "Gay for" t-shirts, but I wasn't bothered enough by it to dislike the book overall (there are plenty of ways my own friends supported me in high school that now makes me cringe). My only other nitpick is that the protagonist describes himself by his Harry Potter "House" at some point, which is not something you're likely to see from the Class of 2021.

Overall this is an enjoyable, affirming book that I'm sure many teens will enjoy.

"Pride and Premeditation" is something like a Regency "Legally Blonde," with all of the hijinks and mystery that implies. Well narrated and fast paced, this book leaves you excited for the sequel. I've never read Pride and Prejudice, but I absolutely loved this book!
