Coming Home
by Floyd CooperYoung Langston Hughes was a dreamer. He dreamed about heroes like Booker T. Washington, who was black just like him. When he heard the clackety-clack of train wheels, he dreamed about the places it had been. But most of all, he dreamed about having a happy home. And so, one day, he began turning those dreams into beautiful prose. As he did, he discovered where his home really was—in the words and rhythms of his poetry that reached people all over the world. The beloved Langston Hughes comes to life in a book for poets, dreamers, children, and adults—anyone who has ever thought of what home means to them. "Teachers looking for a good way to introduce youngsters to this prominent poet will find this book to be an excellent accompaniment to his work." —School Library Journal"Like Hughes' poetry, the power of Cooper's story is that it confronts sadness even as it transcends it." —Booklist"His text is as inviting as his illustrations." —The New York Times Book Review

Common Critters: The Wildlife In Your Neighborhood
by Pat BrissonCommon Critters celebrates neighborhood wildlife in verse. A familiar cast of characters—worms, slugs, caterpillars, ladybugs, robins, mourning doves, houseflies, spiders, squirrels, skunks, and others—crawls, runs, buzzes, and flits through these lively poems, which show how exotic these seemingly ordinary creatures really are. Dan Tavis’s humorous illustrations crank up the delight, and a child wanting to learn more will find it in the natural-history backmatter. Pat Brisson employs a variety of verse forms in the book, and she shows how it’s done in a back-of-book feature called “A Peek into the Poet’s Toolkit.” Common Critters is a three-tool STEAM book with delightful reading, natural history, and language skills rolled into one.
Common Sense School Reform
by Frederick M. HessForget everything you think you know about school reform. Cutting through the cant, sentiment, and obfuscation characterizing the current school reform debate, Frederick M. Hess lacerates the conventional "status quo" reform efforts and exposes the naivete underlying reform strategies that rest on solutions like class size reduction, small schools, and enhanced professional development. He explains that real improvement requires a bracing regime of common sense reforms that create a culture of competence by rewarding excellence, punishing failure, and giving educators the freedom and flexibility to do their work. He documents the scope of the challenges we face and then provides concrete recommendations for addressing them through reforms to promote accountability, competition, a 21st-century workforce, effective school leadership, and sensible reinvention. Engagingly written and drawing on real world experiences and examples, Common Sense School Reform will generate debate and help set the agenda for the future.

Cómo Aidan llegó a ser un hermano
by Kyle LukoffStonewall Book Award Winner - American Library Association (ALA)Este dulce y pionero libro ilustrado, ganador del Premio de Libro Stonewall 2020, celebra los cambios en la vida de un niño transgénero: desde su anunció que era trans hasta su preparación para ser un hermano mayor. This sweet and groundbreaking picture book, winner of the 2020 Stonewall Book Award, celebrates the changes in a transgender boy's life, from his initial coming-out to becoming a big brother.Cuando Aidan nació, todos pensaron que era una niña. Sus papás le dieron un nombre bonito, su cuarto se veía como un cuarto de niña y usaba ropa que le gustaba a otras niñas. Después de darse cuenta que era un niño trans, Aidan y sus papás arreglaron las partes de su vida que ya no encajaban y se asentó alegremente a su nueva vida. Y luego su mamá y papá anunciaron que iban a tener otro bebe. Aidan quiere hacer todo que se pueda para asegurar que todo esté bien para su nueva hermana o hermano desde el principio: desde escoger el nombre perfecto hasta crear un cuarto hermoso y encontrar el mameluco más precioso. ¿Pero, de echo, qué significa hacer que "todo esté bien"? ¿Y qué pasa si se equivoca? Con un poquito de ayuda, Aidan llega a entender que los errores se pueden arreglar con honestidad y comunicación. Y que ya sabe la cosa más importante sobre ser un hermano mayor: cómo amar con todo su ser. Cómo Aidan llegó a ser un hermano es un libro conmovedor que va a resonar con niños y niñas transgénero, tranquilizar cualquier preocupación de niños y niñas que van a ser hermanos o hermanas mayores y celebrar las muchas transiciones por las que puede pasar una familia. - When Aidan was born, everyone thought he was a girl. His parents gave him a pretty name, his room looked like a girl's room, and he wore clothes that other girls liked wearing. After he realized he was a trans boy, Aidan and his parents fixed the parts of life that didn't fit anymore, and he settled happily into his new life. Then Mom and Dad announce that they're going to have another baby, and Aidan wants to do everything he can to make things right for his new sibling from the beginning--from choosing the perfect name to creating a beautiful room to picking out the cutest onesie. But what does "making things right" actually mean? And what happens if he messes up? With a little help, Aidan comes to understand that mistakes can be fixed with honesty and communication, and that he already knows the most important thing about being a big brother: how to love with his whole self. When Aidan Became a Brother is a heartwarming book that will resonate with transgender children, reassure any child concerned about becoming an older sibling, and celebrate the many transitions a family can experience.
