Sylvia Rose and the Cherry Tree
by Sandy Shapiro-Hurt Xindi YanIn rhymed couplets, with magical illustrations, Sylvia Rose and the Cherry Tree spins a story of adventure, imagination, and the importance of home. This very strange tale began in May in a friendly forest on a sunny day. Skipping along a path in the wood danced Sylvia Rose, and man, she was GOOD! Laughing and leaping came Sylvia Rose, Whirling and twirling on twinkly toes. Bold, adventurous Sylvia Rose loves visiting the animals and trees of the forest. The girl and her favorite cherry tree share almost everything, including dancing and stories, but they can’t travel the world together because the tree is rooted deep in the earth. Determined to overcome this obstacle, Sylvia Rose enlists her animal friends to uproot the glorious tree, and Sylvia and the tree set off globetrotting together, taking in the wonders of the world from the Eiffel Tower to the Sydney Opera House, each sight more amazing than the last. Back home in the forest, however, the animals begin to suffer without the food and shelter of their life-sustaining cherry tree. Can the tree give up her newfound freedom and return to her role in the forest ecosystem? Fountas & Pinnell Level M

The Table
by Winsome Bingham Wiley BlevinsTwo families—both filled with love, both encountering hardship and joy, both living in the same place—and the one simple table that connects them all.For years, a mining family&’s life revolves around their table. It&’s where they eat, read, sew, laugh, and pay the bills; it&’s stained with easter egg paint, warmed by fresh biscuits and the soft morning sun. Outside the house, though, Appalachia changes. The coal mine closes, and the bills keep coming. Eventually, there&’s no choice but to move on— and to say goodbye to the table.But then: When a young girl&’s father sees the table by the road, he slams on the brakes. A lifelong carpenter, he can see it&’s something special. They bring it home and clean it up; sitting around it, they eat and work and laugh. The girl wonders if another child once sat there, if they were anything like her. She&’ll never know . . . but the table remembers. The Table is a stirring contemplation on the similarity between even people whose lives are entirely different. The details of these different lives take many forms, but the love underlying both of these families makes them much more similar than they are different. The center of this book is family love, and the many important connections we share with the family we live with. Even in strife, this book shows, love provides a literal support.Expressively illustrated by Caldecott Honoree Jason Griffin, the story is deeply personal to coauthors Wiley Blevins, raised in West Virginia, and Winsome Bingham, who immigrated as a child from Jamaica to the U.S. South.A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
