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

Beauty Woke
“Beauty is a Puerto Rican girl loved and admired by her family and community. At first, she’s awake to their beauty, and her own—a proud Boricua of Taíno and African descent. But as she grows older, she sees how people who look like her are treated badly, and she forgets what makes her special. So her community bands together to help remind her of her beautiful heritage!” — publisher
Papa’s Butter Chicken: A Celebration of Family and Community

But then the doorbell rings, and Grandma, Monica’s uncles, and even the neighbors arrive to share in the feast!” — publisher
Juneteenth Is
“Juneteenth is the smell of brisket filling the air. Juneteenth is the sounds of music, dancing, and cheering ringing from the parade outside. It is love. It is prayer. It is friends and relatives coming together to commemorate freedom, hope for tomorrow, and one another. This book is an ode to the history of the Black community in the United States, a tribute to Black joy, and a portrait of familial love. With poignant text and vivid illustrations, Juneteenth Is offers a window and a mirror for readers, resonating with kids who will see themselves reflected in its pages and those who hope to understand experiences beyond their own.” — publisher
