Help! : Shared Effort Leads to Shared Rewards in Tigrinya and English

2021

"In this Ethiopian spin on a classic Russian folk tale, an old woman discovers that even the smallest helper can solve a big problem! When she plants her crops, she doesn’t expect to grow a carrot so big that she cannot pull it out. Luckily, she has many animal friends to help her, and she will need all of them to harvest her crop, even the tiniest mouse! A sweet look at how shared efforts lead to shared rewards. Side by side text in English and Ethiopian languages like Amharic, Tigrinya and Afaan Oromo help emerging bilingual readers build vocabulary and fluency. Captivating collages bring the story to life and support vocabulary with clear visual references and engaging pictures. Part of the Ready, Set, Go! series of bilingual early readers." -- publisher

Alejandria Fights Back!

2021

by Carla España, Hernández-Linares, Rise-Home Stories Project and Robert Liu-Trujillo

"For nine-year-old Alejandria, home isn't just the apartment she shares with Mami and her abuela, Tita, but rather the whole neighborhood. Home is the bakery where Ms. Beatrice makes yummy picos; the sidewalk where Ms. Alicia sells flowers with her little dog, Duende; and the corner store with friendly Mr. Amir. But lately the city has been changing, and rent prices are going up. Many people in el barrio are leaving because they can no longer afford their homes, and "For Sale" signs are popping up everywhere. Then the worst thing happens: Mami receives a letter saying they'll have to move out too. Alejandria knows it isn’t fair, but she's not about to give up and leave. Join Alejandria as she brings her community together to fight and save their neighborhood!" -- publisher
