Our Future: How Kids are Taking Action

The children are concrete examples for other kids, to show that you're never too young to mitigate change. From racism to cyber bullying, from gun violence to animal protection, they don't let their youth stop them from being heard. In addition to Our Future, Janet Wilson has three other similar books about empowering kids called Our Earth, Our Heroes, and Our Rights."--
We are still here!
"Too often, Native American history is treated as a finished chapter instead of relevant and ongoing. This companion book to the award-winning We Are Grateful: Otsaliheliga offers readers everything they never learned in school about Native American people’s past, present, and future. Precise, lyrical writing presents topics including: forced assimilation (such as boarding schools), land allotment and Native tribal reorganization, termination (the US government not recognizing tribes as nations), Native urban relocation (from reservations), self-determination (tribal self-empowerment), Native civil rights, the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), religious freedom, economic development (including casino development), Native language revival efforts, cultural persistence, and nationhood." -- publisher

Sounds All Around
"Zzzzzzzz! It's a mosquito. Such a tiny insect, but its beating wings make such a BIG sound in the silence. Sound is a sense we often take for granted. Where does sound come from? Why are some sounds loud and some soft? Some high-pitched and some low-pitched? How do humans and animals use sound to communicate? What's the difference between natural and artificial sound? This lyrical picture book explores all of these questions, giving young children a charming and gentle introduction to how sound works."--
Outside, You Notice
"A lyrical nonfiction celebration of the outdoors pairing childlike observation with facts about the natural world...Time spent in the outdoors stirs a child’s imagination. Nature sparks wonder, wonder leads to curiosity, and curiosity brings about a greater knowledge of the world and one’s self. In Outside, You Notice, a meditative thread of child-like observations is paired with facts about the habits and habitats of animals, insects, birds, and plants." -- publisher
