Share the free Joan Ganz Cooney Center's Spanish-language guide to using apps with children, Apps en familia, and our bilingual (and multilingual) app recommendations for children with the parents who use your library. If you don't have Spanish-language apps on your library devices, it's time to start a collection.

Students will root for the tiny seed as it overcomes obstacle after obstacle and becomes one of nature's survivors.

This is a wonderful vehicle to learn American Sign Language at all levels and is full of magic and special effects blending animation and acting. We all need constant reminders to share with generosity.

This fun story is the first in a new series and provides a subtle reminder to embrace your uniqueness. ["Readers will enjoy the details of Nory's magical world and empathize with her struggle": SLJ 9/15 review of the Scholastic book.]

This is a highly amusing romp that addresses a common childhood issue. It merits a place in libraries serving children.

This gem simply sparkles. A perfect addition to any library collection—for a study of poetry or purely for the joy of language. ["A gem of a book": SLJ 4/15 review of the Lee & Low book.]

Issues of incest, mental health, and medical ethics make this ripe for book discussions as well. Recommended. ["Fans of period pieces and crime dramas will be pleased with this haunting tale": SLJ 8/15 review of the Katherine Tegen book.]

This will be best used as a read-along as readers will not want to miss David Shannon's evocative, stunning illustrations for a fascinating glimpse of a true hero and the start of the Iroquois union. An afterword about the democratic influence of the Iroquois on the U.S. Constitution is included. ["All students should know the history of the Iroquois Confederacy, and this book provides the perfect opportunity for them to do so": SLJ 8/15 starred review of the Abrams book.]
