Caldecott-winning author Cordell and the iconic Mister Rogers have a lot of neighbors. Buy multiple copies.
Henry’s hero journey is replete with pitfalls and moments of self awareness, both of which lead him to a better understanding of why he does what he does (he’s lonely) and why his family is so overprotective (they love him). Any kid who recognizes that they have weaknesses will identify with and cheer for Henry. Highly recommended for libraries that serve tweens.
Chee’s words are a lot to take in, but necessary and beautiful all the same. This remarkable book deserves to be in any library collection.
A dark scenic adventure, sensitively written for romantics, Jasinska’s debut novel is a fantasy of promises, betrayal, unrequited love, and black magic.
Recommended for Black Panther fans and newcomers alike, this is a first purchase for all collections.
This novel is sure to appeal to fans of Mabry’s other works, and could serve as an introduction to magical realism for those unfamiliar with the genre. An engaging, heartfelt exploration of the multifaceted inner lives of teen girls and sisterhood.
A must-purchase for all secondary school libraries. Readers who liked Fighting Chance: The Struggle Over Woman Suffrage and Black Suffrage In Reconstruction America by Faye E. Dudden and Sisters in the Struggle: African American Women in the Civil Rights-Black Power Movement edited by Bettye Collier-Thomas will particularly like Dionne’s work.
Highly recommended for middle grade through high school collections in both school and public libraries.
