Incredible illustrations by Sue Cornelison bring to life the poignant words of Pree Bharara as well as injustices and triumphs across the globe. -Bryan Loar (Dec. 26, 2021)
Hanif Abdurraqib's debut picture book is a testament to the power of a courageous singer and the impact of Aretha Franklin's lyrics and life for future generations. -Bryan Loar (Dec. 27, 2021)
"Honest" and "hopeful" have been used to describe this wonderful picture book created by Dapo Adeola (Look Up!) along with an incredible ensemble of illustrators. -Bryan Loar (December 28, 2021)
"A beautifully illustrated continuation of rabbit Llewellyn’s travels through life. A great addition to anyone’s feelings collection. Out of a Jar would pair nicely with Brian Wray’s Max's Box : Letting Go of Negative Feelings." - Bryan Loar (Jan. 15, 2022)
With striking illustrations reminiscent of 1940's Disney by Dominique Ramsey, Solitary Animals is beautiful and educational. I appreciate Joshua David Stein's contrasting solitary and social creatures. Back matter includes answers to potential questions that a younger reader may ask. -Bryan Loar (Dec. 29, 2021)
Rajani LaRocca has created a sweet story about intercontinental love between a grandmother and granddaughter, where different languages are a point of learning and connection versus a barrier. -Bryan Loar (Dec. 28, 2021)
I found Impossible Moon warm and exciting and connective. Mable's beautiful dance is charted in her moon maps through the constellations and her Grana's stories. Grana says, "If we can touch the moon, then what is impossible?" -Melia Wolf (Dec. 27, 2021)
"Walking into Ai Shi's world like through a sliding glass door I am saddened by the broken promises she and her parent's experience by moving to the "Beautiful Country" from Taiwan. Ai Shi takes on her American identity beyond using an American name, Anna. She and her parents live a zig zagging course between missing their history in Taiwan and working to better their situations financially and socially in America. More than anything I want Ai Shi to love herself ...anywhere." - Melia Wolf (Jan. 15, 2022)
As an artist I love "I play with letters, words, and numbers, and create paintings, sculptures, and songs!" This book and all of its positive messages about diverse bodies and how we care for our bodies. It reminds us to be grateful for and respectful to our own body. -Melia Wolf (Dec. 27, 2021)

I love the simplicity of message and of image. Rooster is unable to use his traditional method of waking everyone so he resorts to cooking to help his guests arise. It is bright happy and would make a great board book. -Melia Wolf (Dec. 27, 2021)
