La June Nwa e Jenefer Blan, epi yo pa remake ke tout lÒt timoun yo chita ak zanmi ki sanble yo. Men, lÈ Jenefer demenaje, La June pa konnen ki kote pou li chita. Li santi l diferan. Yon nouvo tifi, Eva, demenaje nan ansyen kay Jenefer lan, e tout bagay de li diferan pou La June, tou. Nan lekÒl la, pwofesÈ La June an ap eseye yon eksperyans: chanje plas yo nan rekreyasyon midi. Apre sa, li rasanble klas la nan yon sÈk pou l pale sou rezon ki fÈ li te difisil pou yo chita ak moun diferan, sa yo te aprann sou youn ak lÒt, e ki jan yo ka pataje plis bagay toujou nan tan kap vini an. La June ak kondisip li yo kÒmanse konprann ke pafwa li konfÒtab pou nou antoure de moun ki tankou nou, men nou kÒmanse bati yon kominote selman lÈ nou aprann de moun ki diferan. Reflete ti sÈk gerizon rasyal pozitiv ke Fondasyon W. K. Kellogg ankouraje ak selebre toutotou peyi a, Diferans Nou Yo Rann Nou Pi FÓ montre lektÈ jÈn ki pataje istwa nou yo, koute lÒt moun, ak aprann sou diferans nou yo se premye etap yo bati yon kominote ki pi fÒ. A story about sharing our identities and making new friends from La June Montgomery Tabron, the President and CEO of the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. La June and her best friend, Jenefer, love going to school in Detroit. They're in the same class, and they always sit together at lunch. La June is Black and Jenefer is White, and they don't notice that all the other kids are sitting with friends who look like them. But when Jenefer moves away, La June doesn't know where to sit. She feels different. A new girl, Eva, moves into Jenefer's old house, and everything about her feels different to La June, too. At school, La June's teacher tries something new: changing up the seats at lunch time. After, he gathers the class into a circle to talk about why it was hard to sit with different people, what they learned about each other, and how they can share more in the future. La June and her classmates start to understand that sometimes it's comfortable to be around people who are like us, but we begin to build a community when we learn about people who are different. Reflecting the transformative racial healing practices that the W. K. Kellogg Foundation promotes and celebrates around the world, Our Differences Make Us Stronger shows young readers that sharing our stories, listening to others, and learning about our differences are the first steps to building a stronger community.

Though they've done nothing wrong, they are interrogated as German spies and imprisoned, and all the family's possessions are seized. Within days, Rosie and her brother are abandoned and homeless. A relative begrudgingly takes them in until their beloved aunt (who was also rounded up, but released) comes for them.

Different Kinds of Fruit
by Kyle LukoffIn this funny and hugely heartfelt novel from the Newbery Honor-winning author of Too Bright to See, a sixth-grader's life is turned upside down when she learns her dad is trans. <p><p> Annabelle Blake fully expects this school year to be the same as every other: same teachers, same classmates, same, same, same. So she’s elated to discover there’s a new kid in town. To Annabelle, Bailey is a breath of fresh air. She loves hearing about their life in Seattle, meeting their loquacious (and kinda corny) parents, and hanging out at their massive house. And it doesn’t hurt that Bailey has a cute smile, nice hands (how can someone even have nice hands?) and smells really good. <p><p> Suddenly sixth grade is anything but the same. And when her irascible father shares that he and Bailey have something big--and surprising--in common, Annabelle begins to see herself, and her family, in a whole new light. At the same time she starts to realize that her community, which she always thought of as home, might not be as welcoming as she had thought. Together Annabelle, Bailey, and their families discover how these categories that seem to mean so much—boy, girl, gay, straight, fruit, vegetable—aren’t so clear-cut after all.
