Jabari Jumps

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Working up the courage to take a big, important leap is hard, but Jabari is almost absolutely ready to make a giant splash.

Jabari is definitely ready to jump off the diving board. He's finished his swimming lessons and passed his swim test, and he's a great jumper, so he's not scared at all. "Looks easy," says Jabari, watching the other kids take their turns. But when his dad squeezes his hand, Jabari squeezes back. He needs to figure out what kind of special jump to do anyway, and he should probably do some stretches before climbing up onto the diving board. In a sweetly appealing tale of overcoming your fears, newcomer Gaia Cornwall captures a moment between a patient and encouraging father and a determined little boy you can't help but root for.

Love, Matt de la Pena

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"In the beginning there is light
and two wide-eyed figures standing near the foot of your bed
and the sound of their voices is love.
...
A cab driver plays love softly on his radio
while you bounce in back with the bumps of the city
and everything smells new, and it smells like life."

In this heartfelt celebration of love, Newbery Medal-winning author Matt de la Peña and bestselling illustrator Loren Long depict the many ways we experience this universal bond, which carries us from the day we are born throughout the years of our childhood and beyond. With a lyrical text that's soothing and inspiring, this tender tale is a needed comfort and a new classic that will resonate with readers of every age.

"Everything that can be called love - from shared joy to comfort in the darkness - is gathered in the pages of this reassuring, refreshingly honest picture book."- The New York Times Book Review, Editors' Choice / Staff Picks From the Book Review

"Love that comes untested is perhaps not love strong enough for troubled times. This book looks into the darkness and still finds stars twinkling overhead."- The New York Times Book Review

"[A] poetic reckoning of the importance of love in a child's life . . . eloquent and moving."- People Magazine

" Lyrical and sensitive, 'Love' is the sort of book likely to leave readers of all ages a little tremulous, and brimming with feeling."- The Wall Street Journal

★ "De la Peña's prose poem speaks right to young children. . . . People often talk to children about love; in these pages, they can see and feel what it's like. And there's plenty for everybody."
- Publishers Weekly, starred review

★ "From the moment prose and art appear in the opening spread, de la Peña and Long usher readers into a patient, pensive meditation on love. . . . Timely, timeless, and utterly necessary."
- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

★ "This heartfelt and sensitively rendered picture book meditation begs to be shared and discussed with children . . . Spread the love." - School Library Journal, starred review

★ "Long and Matt de la Peña . . . hit the mark with Love . . . a gentle, poetic picture book about love in all circumstances, even the tough ones."
-Shelf Awareness, starred review

★ " An exquisitely written and illustrated picture book that speaks of how love, even when it's difficult to recognize, can percolate up through the most common of daily circumstances."- The Horn Book, starred review

"Newbery Award-winning De la Peña offers a lyrical ode to love in this stirring picture book. . . . In De la Peña's lines, love becomes not just an emotion between people but a feeling suffusing the world."
- Booklist
