Nina

2017

by Alice Brière-Haquet and Bruno Liance

With evocative black-and-white illustrations and moving prose, readers are introduced to Nina Simone, jazz-music legend and civil-rights activist. Shared as a lullaby to her daughter, a soulful song recounts Simone's career, the trials she faced as an African American woman, and the stand she took during the Civil Rights Movement. This poignant picture book offers a melodic tale that is both a historic account of an iconic figure and an extraordinary look at how far we've come and how far we still need to go for social justice and equality. A timeless and timely message aptly appropriate for today's social and political climates.

Ira Crumb feels the feelings

2018

by Naseem Hrab and Josh Holinaty

Ira Crumb and Malcolm Cake are best friends. They make each other laugh. And they always play together--or do they? A disagreement about whether they should play tag or hide-and-seek leaves Ira all alone. And suddenly, he starts feeling these ... feelings! His tummy hurts! His chin is wobbling! His eyes are leaking! What's happening? Finally, Malcolm finds Ira again and asks the one question that matters, What's wrong, Ira? You can tell me. And finally, Ira has the opportunity to honestly express his feelings. Eventually the two start laughing again--which results in totally ridiculous fart joke that makes everything OK again. As in the previous book, Josh's big bold illustrations, with quirky characters and comic-style panels, gives Ira's story tons of visual interest and an up-tempo pace that matches Ira's unflinchingly expressive personality.--Provided by publisher
