Weekend and Zay: Saturday School
“Weekend and Zay may seem like total opposites at first glance. Zay thrives on school and learning, while Weekend’s heart belongs to video games and weekends at home. Can these two find common ground?” — publisher
The Search for Us
“Samira Murphy will do anything to keep her fractured family from falling apart, including caring for her widowed grandmother and getting her older brother into recovery for alcohol addiction. With attendance at her dream college on the line, she takes a long shot DNA test to find the support she so desperately needs from a father she hasn’t seen since she was a baby. Henry Owen is torn between his well-meaning but unreliable bio-mom and his overly strict aunt and uncle, who stepped in to raise him but don’t seem to see him for who he is. Looking to forge a stronger connection to his own identity, he takes a DNA test to find the one person who might love him for exactly who he is—the biological father he never knew. Instead of a DNA match with their father, Samira and Henry are matched with each other. They begin to search for their father together and slowly unravel the difficult truth of their shared past, forming a connection that only siblings can have and recovering precious parts of their past that have been lost. Brimming with emotional resonance, The Search for Us beautifully renders what it means to find your place in the world through the deep and abiding power of family.” — publisher
Peaches
“Side by side with Daddy and Grandma, a young girl is determined to take part in her family’s tradition of baking the perfect peach cobbler—just like her mama used to. From picking fruit to stirring and mixing to kneading the dough, it’s a little bit messy. But with sure hands to guide the girl step-by-step—and her mother’s memory hanging sweet in the air—she has the recipe for making Mama proud.” — publisher
Heroes of the Pirate Ship
“Austin, Alanna, and wiener dog Ozzy have been transformed into pirates! They must find a golden treasure chest to return to their world before time runs out. But with suspicious pirates aboard, can they save the ship and still complete their mission on time?” — publisher
Tiny Wonders
“April’s town is dull and gray, and the people there are too busy to laugh or look up at the sky, but when Grandma tells her about all the tiny wonders of the world, like the secret language of flowers, April thinks maybe dandelions can help—so she wishes for their magic. Planting seeds while the seasons shift toward spring, April watches as the dandelions and other flowers sprout, bringing joyful wonder back to their community.” — publisher
Seeds of Change
“After stumbling on an area in her Madagascar community devastated by drought, a young girl gets inspired. She gathers her friends and makes her case. They discuss, cooperate, and plan. Everyone has a different idea to contribute, and collaboration leads to the best idea of all. A garden! But when things go devastatingly wrong, what can they do? It takes a lot of courage, but with the support of her whole community, this girl will sow the seeds of change she’s been dreaming of. With sweet, vibrant art from Sawyer Cloud, this rhyming, lyrical picture book about making the effort to invest in the future of ourselves and our community teaches an invaluable lesson about having the patience to see that, in time, effort will blossom into a more peaceful and loving world.” — publisher
Marley and the Family Band
“When Marley and her family move from Jamaica to Delaware, she knows life is about to change in big ways. And she’s got the perfect plan to help her and her siblings make friends: an outdoor concert for the whole neighborhood! But when weather ruins their plans, she discovers help in the most unlikely places as her new neighbors quickly become the kindest of friends. In this joyful, vibrant picture book inspired by her childhood and iconic father, Cedella Marley assures children that nothing can stop the music as long as they have community.” — publisher

Over and Under the Canyon
“Over and Under the Canyon takes young readers on a thrilling tour of a desert canyon ecosystem. Over the canyon, the sun scalds the air, baking desert mud to stone. But under the shade of the cliffs hides another world, where bighorn sheep bound from rock to rock on the hillside, roadrunners make their nests in sturdy cacti, and banded geckos tuck themselves into the shelter of the sand. Discover the wonders concealed in the curves of the canyon, the magic of a desert wildflower bloom, and all the unexpected creatures that bring the desert to life.” — publisher
Piano Wants to Play
“Making beautiful music takes time, and as Amy grows she has less time to play with Piano, until one day, she disappears entirely, leaving Piano abandoned and lonely. Longing to sing but growing less hopeful for Amy’s return, Piano fears the worst when moved to a strange new home. But this new home, Piano finds, is a school, and Amy is now a music teacher. Following a surprise reunion that is sure to delight young readers, they share the joy of music with the next generation.” — publisher
