The Empty City

How can Roch face the other kids at the rink? She has friends with super speed who always beat her in races , friends with super strength who can dangle from the monkey bars for hours , and friends who are better than her at a million other things. Nalvana thinks she must be the only kid in town without a superpower.

But then her mom shows Nalvana that she is unique and special—and that her superpower was right in front of her all along. He could encounter tarantulas, green Martians or killer bees. Day after day he watches and waits, and waits and watches, until one day his worst nightmare comes true!

Scaredy suddenly finds himself out of his tree, where germs, poison ivy and sharks lurk. After she settled into a main floor seat, an usher came by and told her to move, because her ticket was only good for the balcony. She offered to pay the difference in price but was refused: Sure, the brown mittens are warmer, but the red mitts make better snowballs. No doubt about it, red is best. Vanessa tries everything she can think of to cheer her up, but nothing seems to work.

Then Virginia tells Vanessa about an imaginary, perfect place called Bloomsberry. Armed with an idea, Vanessa begins to paint Bloomsberry on the bedroom walls, transforming them into a beautiful garden complete with a ladder and swing so that what was down could climb up. Before long, Virginia, too, has picked up a brush and undergoes a surprising transformation of her own. Vivid illustrations and simple language guarantee that even the youngest traveler will enjoy this trip!

This beautiful board book, with illustrations from celebrated artist Julie Flett, serves as a reminder for little ones and adults alike to reflect on and cherish the moments in life that bring us joy. But when he watches the groundbreaking moon landing on TV, he realizes that space is the darkest dark there is—and the dark is beautiful and exciting, especially when you have big dreams to keep you company.

Why does her grandmother have long braided hair and beautifully colored clothing? Why does she speak another language and spend so much time with her family? As she asks her grandmother about these things, she is told about life in a residential school a long time ago, where all of these things were taken away. When We Were Alone is a story about a difficult time in history and, ultimately, one of empowerment and strength.

On windy days, she takes her sixteen cats out for an airing: With the aid of her favorite tea party tablecloth as a makeshift balloon, Miss Petitfour and her charges fly over her village, having many little adventures along the way. A whimsical, beautifully illustrated collection of tales that celebrates language, storytelling and small pleasures, especially the edible kind!

When a bout of childhood tuberculosis weakened his lungs, Oscar could no longer play his beloved instrument. He took up piano and the rest is history: Oscar went on to become an international jazz piano sensation.

Oscar Lives Next Door is a fictional story inspired by these facts. The book imagines a next-door neighbor for Oscar named Millie, who gets into mischief with him but also appreciates his talents: Oscar hears music in everything, and Millie calls him a magician for the way he can coax melodies from his trumpet. Millie writes to Oscar during his long stay in the hospital for tuberculosis, and she encourages his earliest notes on the piano.

From its opening pages, the book suggests that we are intimately connected to the natural world; it compares the way we learn to speak to the way baby birds learn to sing, and the growth of human bodies to the growth of forests. Award-winning author Elin Kelsey—along with a number of concerned parents and educators around the world—believes children are losing touch with nature. This innovative picture book aims to reintroduce children to their innate relationship with the world around them by sharing many of the surprising ways that we are all connected to the natural world.

One child is worried that her family is just too different to explain, but listens as her classmates talk about what makes their families special. One is raised by a grandmother, and another has two dads.

Lucky Spencer

Should an outsider like Salma really participate in the pageant-and possibly win? Set amongst the blueberry barrens and by the sea, this is a gorgeous new novel by Newbery Honor author Cynthia Lord that tackles themes of prejudice and friendship, loss and love. What do dogs, bees, and blueberries have in common? Admittedly, not much at first, but to a young girl named Tigerlily they are a few of the only things that make perfect sense.

After her dog Lucky went blind, Tigerlily Lily to everyone else , has gotten used to being his eyes. What I loved about this book…where to begin? You know those books that just feel like they were written for you? This is that type of book. She stencils the patterns on, carefully detailing blueberries and bees.

When Selma joins her one-day in painting the boxes, Lily is surprised to find Selma creating pink bees, and yellow blueberry stars. It lets me become more like myself, not more like everyone else. Lily and Selma decide to buy a booth at the local Blueberry Festival selling their painted bee boxes. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

While Lily struggles with her identity or lack thereof , Selma struggles with being invisible. While Lily has grown up seeing migrant workers come and go with the blueberry season, having a friend that works in the fields makes Lily far more attuned to the subtle prejudices around her. While Selma teaches Lily about a lot of things like blueberries , she ultimately teaches Lily how to be brave, which is the heart and soul of this novel.

Sometimes we perceive our differences to be weaknesses - something undesirable. You only have to be a little bit braver than you are scared.
