A MORNING WITH GRANDPA, by Sylvia Liu, illustrated by Christina Forshay (New Voices Award winner) (2016)  Mei Mei and her grandpa spend a morning teaching each other tai chi and yoga.

Inspired by real events of the July War in Lebanon, this story of loss, rebuilding, and healing is a tribute to the sustaining love of family, and to the power of the human spirit.


TINY STITCHES, by Gwendolyn Hudson Hooks (2016). Overcoming racism and resistance from his colleagues, Vivien Thomas was an unheralded pioneer in children’s heart surgery. As a research assistant to Dr. Alfred Blalock in the 1930s and 40s, Vivien was asked to help Dr. Helen Taussig to find a cure for a specific heart defect. After months of experimenting, Vivien developed a procedure that was used for the first successful open-heart surgery on a child, but failed to receive recognition for the surgical technique, the Blalock-Taussig shunt.

THE GREEN UMBRELLA, by Jackie Azua Kramer, Illustrator Maral Sassouni (Feb. 2017) Things aren’t always what they seem in this charming tale of imagination, sharing and friendship. When Elephant takes a peaceful walk with his green umbrella, he’s interrupted by Hedgehog, Cat, Bear, and Rabbit—all claiming that they’ve had exciting adventures with his umbrella. After all, it is an umbrella, and it certainly hasn’t been on any adventures more exciting than a walk in the rain. Or has it?

In his pocket . . . in his underwear

Before you can shout 'Surf's up!' both frogs are sharing the same adventure, that is, until they get to the beach. Newborn Award Medal Winner, Kwame Alexander, and Daniel Miyares have joined forces to give little listeners a wild ride.
