Meet a Doctor!
"Many people help in our community! Doctors are the people who know how to heal us. Theo and Emma were playing soccer after school when Theo slipped and fractured his ankle. Then a trip to the emergency room brought the pair together with Dr. Gomez-an ER doctor who specializes in pediatrics. Share the excitement as Dr. Gomez gets Theo feeling good as new-and gives the kids a first-hand look at a doctor's job." -- publisher
Bella’s Recipe for Success
"Bella has talented siblings, but she isn't sure what she is good at herself. When she attempts to discover her own talent, Bella learns the importance of trying again and again and never giving up. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Bella wants to find out what she's good at. But she quits everything she (barely) tries because she's a disaster at it. Her somersaults are like clumsy jirafas rolling downhill, her piano playing like elephant feet. When she decides to learn how to bake with her wise old abuela, her first attempt at dulce de leche frosting looks like scaly cocodrilo skin. She must learn it's okay to try again or she won't be good at anything. Peppered with Spanish vocabulary and set in an intergenerational Latinx home, Bella's Recipe for Success will show all kids the value of practicing to learn a new skill, and that it's okay to make mistakes along the way. A recipe for Polvorones con Dulce de Leche is included at the back of the book so kids can have fun making their own." -- publisher
It’s Not Fair!

Will she have enough money left over to buy something for herself? Especially designed for kids 4-6, It's Not Fair! teaches kids about money, choices, generosity, and what it means to have enough. Generous Kids books teach age-appropriate concepts about money, possessions, generosity, and contentment." -- publisher
Read a Book With Me
"The power of a good book and a willing listener is undeniable. Will you read a book with me? Antonio wants someone to read with him, but nobody seems to have any time--not his mom, not their neighbor, and not any of his friends on the street. It's only when he looks in an unexpected place that he discovers the perfect reading partner, and a chance to make a new friend. A celebration of the power of stories and communities, Read a Book with Me will remind audiences young and old that there's nothing to bring people together like the power of a good book." -- publisher
Isabel and Her Colores Go to School
"English, with its blustery blues and whites, just feels wrong to Isabel. She prefers the warm oranges and pinks of Spanish. As she prepares for class at a new school, she knows she's going to have to learn--and she would rather not! Her first day is uncomfortable, until she discovers there's more than one way to communicate with friends. This is a universal story about feeling new and making new friends." -- publisher
Adriana’s Angels
"Two angels, Milagros (Miracles) and Alegria (Joy), wield their protective power surreptitiously and sometimes with a hint of humor, listening constantly for God's direction as they watch over a little girl who with her family is forced to flee their home in Colombia and start a new life in Chicago. Throughout difficult times, big transitions, and the ordinary moments of childhood, Adriana's angels whisper messages of God's love and presence. Adriana's Angels is available in both English and in Spanish as Los angeles de Adriana. ?Los angeles de Adriana (the Spanish version of Adriana's Angels) is a 2017 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards winner, a contest intended to bring increased recognition to exemplary children's books and their creators, and to support childhood literacy and life-long reading." -- publisher
Starting over in Sunset Park
"Jessica and her mom, Camila, must live in their cousins' crowded apartment until Camila finds work making holiday decorations and they can afford their own place. Isolated on the playground and baffled in class, unable to understand her teacher's instructions, Jessica is intensely homesick. But little by little, things get better. She begins to learn English, and she loves the cats she and her mom care for to earn extra money. Left behind by traveling owners, the cats make the best of their situation, inspiring Jessica to do the same."-- Amazon
Little Night / Nochecita
"Mother Sky is looking for her Little Night, but where could she be? Down a rabbit hole? Behind the hills? In the stripes of bees? And so begins a lilting game of hide-and-seek, until the Sky catches up with her rambunctious daughter." -- publisher

"A celebration of the love between a father and daughter, and of a vibrant immigrant neighborhood, by an award-winning author and illustrator duo. When Daisy Ramona zooms around her neighborhood with her papi on his motorcycle, she sees the people and places she's always known. She also sees a community that is rapidly changing around her. But as the sun sets purple-blue-gold behind Daisy Ramona and her papi, she knows that the love she feels will always be there. With vivid illustrations and text bursting with heart, My Papi Has a Motorcycle is a young girl's love letter to her hardworking dad and to memories of home that we hold close in the midst of change." -- publisher
