Real Siblings
“When adopted siblings Harper and Wyatt hear this, they start to question what it means to be a real sibling. They share experiences and emotions, and they help each other out in times of need, but most importantly, they have unconditional love for one another. Isn’t that enough?” — publisher
Tía Fortuna’s New Home: A Jewish Cuban Journey
“When Estrella’s Tía Fortuna has to say goodbye to her longtime Miami apartment building, The Seaway, to move to an assisted living community, Estrella spends the day with her. Tía explains the significance of her most important possessions from both her Cuban and Jewish culture, as they learn to say goodbye together and explore a new beginning for Tía.” — publisher
Old Clothes for Dinner?!
“Magaly enjoys the yummy Cuban food her Abuela has been cooking since arriving from Havana, but when Magaly’s sweater goes missing, she discovers that Abuela is making ropa vieja for dinner. Old clothes for dinner? Yuck! Magaly needs to hide the rest of her clothes before her family eats them up.” — publisher
Super Spaghetti
“Meet Fred, a boy who loves spaghetti. Fred’s mom is an inventor, and when she builds a machine that can turn anything into spaghetti, Fred thinks life will be nothing but noodles from here on out. But when Fred himself accidentally ends up in the amazing spaghetti-making machine, Fred finds himself transformed. He becomes Super Spaghetti! (A superhero made entirely of spaghetti.) Is this spaghetti-crazy-boy-turned-superhero made of the right stuff to save his town?” — publisher
Be a Bridge
Rhyming verse describes different ways in which readers can “be a bridge,” from welcoming a new student and listening respectfully when someone else is talking to standing up to a bully and comforting a classmate who is upset.
A Rainbow in Brown
“In art class, Jo wants to paint all the wonderful things she loves. With a palette of red, yellow, and blue, Jo knows she can mix them together to make a new color. Her imagination takes flight as she explores painting with primary colors and making her own secondary colors, each as beautiful as the last. But through her exploration of the colors of the rainbow, Jo finds that her favorite is a combination of them all: brown.” — publisher
Love Bubble
“Love bubbles are meant to protect us from the trouble that can find us in daily life. They require faith, hope, and persistence to give them power. Encouraging readers to dig deep and believe in themselves, Harold Green III’s Love Bubble reminds children of the power of love—for ourselves and everyone around us.” — publisher
Mango Memories
“Every summer, the branches of a little girl’s favorite tree droops heavy with mangoes. And this year, she is finally old enough to help her family harvest them. Her brother shares a memory about his first time mango picking: his father holding him steady as he reached high above for the fruit. But when the girl climbs the tree, she becomes too dizzy. Then her grandma shares a mango memory: learning, many years ago, to toss a stone that knocked the fruit from the branches. But when the girl throws her stone, she keeps missing.” — publisher
The Book That Almost Rhymed
“What do you do with an interrupting sibling? Especially when she’s stepping all over your story with wild ideas that don’t. Even. Rhyme. Knights riding rockets? Dancing pirates? Who’s ever heard of a fire-breathing armadillo?! But when this big brother realizes his sister just might be improving his yarn—and doing it with an impressive surprise of her own—it’s clear what you do with an interrupting sibling. You share the narrative! Turns out adventure is way more fun when you build it together, rhyme by daring rhyme.” — publisher
Give Back
“Follow a little girl and her multigenerational family as they prepare for a community meal and clothing drive. With charming, lyrical text from Gina Bellisario, Give Back celebrates kindness, community, and the various ways we can give to those around us. A perfect book for the holiday season and all year round.” — publisher
