Gigi and Ojiji: What’s in a Name?

Melissa Iwai | FICTION, Nov 01, 2022

This important book will diversify collections for newly independent readers. A must buy.

Gigi crafts her Japanese American identity in this enchanting early reader. The cuteness, inclusivity, and cross-cultural problem-solving represented will have young readers coming back again and again. A must-buy.

The Stray and the Strangers

Steven Heighton | FICTION, Oct 01, 2020

A tender and compassionate story; what this short chapter book lacks in excitement and action it makes up for in its depiction of the human (and canine) element of the world refugee crisis. Recommended for purchase in large collections.
