Getting Sick and Feeling Better
"The books in this new strand of the Shine-a-Light series are focused on helping readers navigate their physical, mental, and emotional health and well-being. The much-loved Shine-a-Light format, which gives readers the magic of being able to 'see through' the page simply by using a flashlight, puts an engaging new spin on core themes that are important in the lives of young children. Getting Sick and Feeling Better follows a child recovering from a cold. Along the way, readers will learn how coughs and colds are spread, and how to protect ourselves and others from germs. The book also gently presents things that we can actively do to keep our bodies and minds healthy." -- publisher
Not Little
"Dot is the smallest person in her family and at school; even her name is small! People often mistake her for being younger than she is, but not when she tells them the square root of sixty-four is eight, nor when she orders from the grown-up menu at restaurants or checks out the hard books at the library. She may be small, but she's not little. When a new boy named Sam joins Dot's class, she wonders if he's even smaller than she is. When she sees him getting bullied by a mean kid twice his size, she knows she has to do the big thing and stand up for him." -- publisher
Delphine Denise and the Mardi Gras Prize

But this year, there's a shiny prize for best float—and Delphine Denise just has to win it. How can her friends remind Delphine Denise what the parade is really all about? This joyful picture book, inspired by the author's own experience celebrating Mardi Gras in New Orleans as a child, explores the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of the holiday. Full of vibrant and festive illustrations, this story reminds readers that winning isn't everything, and the best way to let the good times roll is in the company of friends." -- publisher

On Your Way
"A mother recounts for her child "that day on the porch" when they first tried to walk. As the child totters, stumbles, and flops, young animals nearby gallop, jump, waddle, and hop. Kids will delight in the child's progress and think of the ways they're still learning to grow and move every single day now that they're on their way. A perfect book for looking back at how far kids have come...and how far they'll go." -- publisher
Trailer Park
"When his family moved to the trailer park, Robert hated the park, and he didn't trust the new neighbors. He missed his big house, the big yard and his old friends. 'Here's our new neighborhood,' said Robert's dad. 'This isn't a real neighborhood,' said Robert. 'This is a trailer park.' But a young girl named Jessie slowly and patiently reached out her hand in friendship, until Robert learned his new neighbors in the park were the best people in the world. For every child who felt alone and without a friend, this book is for you." -- publisher
Opening the Road
"In the late 1930s when segregation was legal and Black Americans couldn't visit every establishment or travel everywhere they wanted to safely, a New Yorker named Victor Hugo Green decided to do something about it. Green wrote and published a guide that listed places where his fellow Black Americans could be safe in New York City. The guide sold like hot cakes! Soon customers started asking Green to make a guide to help them travel and vacation safely across the nation too. With the help of his mail carrier co-workers and the African American business community, Green's guide allowed millions of African Americans to travel safely and enjoy traveling across the nation." -- publisher
