A New York Times Bestseller
E.B. White Read-Aloud Picture Book Award (2010)
Children's Choice Illustrator of the Year Award (2010)
An ALA Notable Children's Book (2010)

"A quietly marvelous picture book."-The New York Times Book Review

"Brown's latest is a quiet but stirring fable of urban renewal, sure to capture imaginations."- Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Beautiful and offbeat, readers will certainly fall in love with this irresistibly curious corner of the world."-Meghan Dietsche Goel, Children's Book Buyer, BookPeople (Austin, TX)

"Brown's flat, faintly retro graphics make a vigorous accompaniment to his fey text, which personifies the 'curious garden' with appealing earnestness."- Kirkus Reviews

"The simple words have a lyrical, rhythmic quality that will read aloud well, and they reinforce the sense that the natural world is a living, breathing character. It's the illustrations, though, that will engage kids most. Combining panels with full-page illustrations and many wordless spreads, the pages show the city's inspiring progression from a dull, dreary place to a fantastical, organic metropolis."- Booklist

“I don’t think that, in the fourteen years I have worked as a children’s bookseller and the 16 years I have been a mother buying books for her children, I have ever seen such a magnificently illustrated, beautiful gem of a book hit the shelves.”
— Tanya from Books4yourkids.com

“This is a flawless little gem of a book, written in a straightforward, warm tone that always has a hint of a smile in it…There is a lovely sense of satisfaction as one link after another is connected, until the entire shape of the book is revealed like a Chinese knot – seemingly complicated yet pleasing and harmonious.”

Booklist
*Starred Review* In this enchanted and enchanting adventure, Minli, whose name means “quick thinking,” lives with her desperately poor parents at the confluence of Fruitless Mountain and the Jade River. While her mother worries and complains about their lot, her father brightens their evenings with storytelling. One day, after a goldfish salesman promises that his wares will bring good luck, Minli spends one of her only two coins in an effort to help her family. After her mother ridicules what she believes to be a foolish purchase, Minli sets out to find the Old Man of the Moon, who, it is told, may impart the true secret to good fortune. Along the way, she finds excitement, danger, humor, magic, and wisdom, and she befriends a flightless dragon, a talking fish, and other companions and helpmates in her quest. With beautiful language, Lin creates a strong, memorable heroine and a mystical land. Stories, drawn from a rich history of Chinese folktales, weave throughout her narrative, deepening the sense of both the characters and the setting and smoothly furthering the plot. Children will embrace this accessible, timeless story about the evil of greed and the joy of gratitude. Lin’s own full-color drawings open each chapter. Grades 3-6. –Andrew Medlar

School Library Journal
*Starred Review* Gr 3-6 Living in the shadow of the Fruitless Mountain, Minli and her parents spend their days working in the rice fields, barely growing enough to feed themselves. Every night, Minli’s father tells her stories about the Jade Dragon that keeps the mountain bare, the greedy and mean Magistrate Tiger, and the Old Man of the Moon who holds everyone’s destiny. Determined to change her family’s fortune, Minli sets out to find the Old Man of the Moon, urged on by a talking goldfish who gives her clues to complete her journey. Along the way she makes new friends including a flightless dragon and an orphan and proves her resourcefulness when she tricks a group of greedy monkeys and gets help from a king. Interwoven with Minli’s quest are tales told by her father and by those she meets on the way. While these tales are original to Lin, many characters, settings, and themes are taken from traditional Chinese folklore. The author’s writing is elegant, and her full-color illustrations are stunning. Minli’s determination to help her family, as well as the grief her parents feel at her absence, is compelling and thoroughly human. Jennifer Rothschild, Prince George’s County Memorial Library System, Oxon Hill, MD

Kirkus Reviews
*Starred Review*To change her family’s fortunes, a poor Chinese girl embarks on a fantastical quest to discover she already has everything she needs to be happy. Minli and her parents live in the shadow of Fruitless Mountain, where they toil endlessly. Bitter and resentful, Minli’s mother complains when her husband fills Minli’s imagination with enchanting tales of Never-Ending Mountain and the Old Man of the Moon. “Eager for adventure,” Minli sets out alone seeking advice from the Old Man of the Moon. En route she befriends a dragon who joins her quest. Together they encounter a talking goldfish, a boy with a buffalo, a king, a fierce green tiger and laughing twins before scaling Never-Ending Mountain. Lin deftly incorporates elements from Chinese folk- and fairy tales to create stories within the main story and provide context for Minli’s quest. With her “lively and impulsive spirit,” Minli emerges a stalwart female role model who learns the importance of family, friendship and faith during her amazing journey. Richly hued illustrations reinforce the Chinese folk theme. (author’s note) (Fantasy. 8-12)

But What Will People Say: Navigating Mental Health, Identity, Love and Family Between Cultures

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
A deeply personal, paradigm-shifting book rethinking traditional therapy and self-care, creating much-needed space for those left out of the narrative Writer and therapist Sahaj Kaur Kohli grew up knowing exactly what it means to straddle multiple cultures at once. Like many children of immigrants, she has often found herself plagued by questions: Can I establish my own values and embrace where I come from? Is prioritizing my mental health really rejecting my culture? How do I set boundaries and care for myself when family and community mean everything? Even after becoming a therapist herself, she saw those same gaps in the mental health world, leading her to wonder, like so many children of immigrants: what about us? While conversations around mental health are becoming increasingly open, our models remain largely Eurocentric and focused on individuality. Sahaj has sought to challenge these long-held models, using deep personal reflection, therapy, community building, and a whole lot of trial and error, eventually navigating her own way to understanding and acceptance. Here, she shows us how to get there, all the while reminding us that personal healing is inextricably connected to collective healing. But What Will People Say? elegantly weaves together personal narrative, anecdotal analysis, and comprehensive research. Sahaj offers advice and tools for everything from navigating generational trauma, guilt, and boundaries, to breaking down stigmas around therapy and celebrating cultural duality. Democratizing and decolonizing the way we think about mental health and self-help, Sahaj’s incredible work is nothing short of a revolution.

We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins with Breakfast

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This book is brilliant and everyone should read it, even if you're not going to change how you eat (but it would be hard no to, he makes such a compelling case) because Foer explores and dismantles the collective psychology that keeps us from acting on what we know is right. It's not about being a climate change denier versus a climate change believer (because while they have different beliefs, both groups behave very similarly), or what side end of the political spectrum your on, it all comes down to this question: are we doing what needs to be done to save the planet? We are not. And it's not just because the fossil fuel industry is selling the planet's future (it is though), and we don't just need new legislature that will regulate industries (but we do need this), what we don't want to face is that we need to change our lifestyles. We need to change. And it's clear we really don't want to. The revelation for me in this book was what Foer says about emotions-how we feel about climate chang (shame, depression, anger, self-righteousness) doesn't matter and actually gets in the way. I was a vegetarian, and then I wasn't and everyone around me was really relieved, and then when I decided to go back to vegetarianism I felt so much shame because I'd already fallen off the wagon and I was worried my social network would roll their eyes that I was trying again. And you know what, some people did but that's okay, because climate change isn't about my feelings of embarrassment, or other people's feelings of glee-it's about doing what we know from facts and science is the right thing to do and that's not eating animal products. My feelings about it don't matter and that is freeing! Also, meat eating is an addiction, and like with most addictions, you're going to relapse, so don't beat yourself up and hang in there.

"Lively, compelling . . . the raw, informal approach to the subject matter will highly appeal to young people who crave understanding and validation . . . This highly readable and vital collection demonstrates the multiplicity of ways that mental health impacts individuals."
-Kirkus Reviews

"Thought-provoking . . . Misconceptions about mental health still abound, making this honest yet hopeful title a vital selection."
-School Library Journal, starred review"This is a much-needed collection of writing about mental health and the impact it has . . . with mental health stigma unfortunately still being a serious problem, teens really need books like this right now."
-Cultured Vultures

"The spectrum of voices and stories is wonderful to read. Not only that, but it mixes already published pieces as well as original memoir type stories. (Don't) Call Me Crazy deals with the power of diagnosis/labels not being the same for everyone, and the inequality in the mental health discussion. It is an anthology that stresses individual experiences, support, and listening. If you want to read more about it, Jensen also includes a reading list. So it leaves you not only with more experience, but a jumping board of where to go next. It is equally hopeful, cathartic, inspiring and real."
-Utopia State of Mind

If there is one belief that has united the left and the right, psychologists and philosophers, ancient thinkers and modern ones, it is the tacit assumption that humans are bad. It's a notion that drives newspaper headlines and guides the laws that shape our lives. From Machiavelli to Hobbes, Freud to Pinker, the roots of this belief have sunk deep into Western thought. Human beings, we're taught, are by nature selfish and governed primarily by self-interest.

‍

But what if it isn't true? Humankind provides new perspective on the past 200,000 years of human history, setting out to prove that we are hardwired for kindness, geared toward cooperation rather than competition, and more inclined to trust rather than distrust one another. In fact this instinct has a firm evolutionary basis going back to the beginning of Homo sapiens

‍

From the real-life Lord of the Flies to the solidarity in the aftermath of the Blitz, the hidden flaws in the Stanford prison experiment to the true story of twin brothers on opposite sides who helped Mandela end apartheid, this bookshows us that believing in human generosity and collaboration isn't merely optimistic-it's realistic. Moreover, it has huge implications for how society functions. When we think the worst of people, it brings out the worst in our politics and economics. But if we believe in the reality of humanity's kindness and altruism, it will form the foundation for achieving true change in society, a case that Bregman makes convincingly with his signature wit, refreshing frankness, and memorable storytelling.

‍

It is time for a new view of human nature.

ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MIRACLE: A YEAR OF FOOD LIFE

Tenth Anniversary Edition

Barbara Kingsolver with Steven L. Hopp,
Camille Kingsolver, and Lily Hopp Kingsolver

When published in 2007, ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MIRACLE was embraced by readers worldwide and quickly earned its place as a credo for the locavore movement. The family's chronicle of struggles and triumphs as they rooted themselves to their Appalachian farm and adopted a locally-produced diet was met with critical acclaim, spent years on bestseller lists and won the James Beard Award. The Chicago Tribune named it "an important contribution to the chorus of voices calling for change." Washington Post Book World called it, "Charming, zestful, funny and poetic...a serious book about important problems."

Now, in a beautiful deluxe trade paperback edition celebrating the 10th anniversary of this beloved work (Harper Perennial, $16.99), Kingsolver, husband Steven Hopp and their daughters Camille and Lily contribute new chapters taking stock of the last decade and how their decision to align their lives with the local food chain has continued to shape their destinies.

"Ten years ago, we wrote this book about our decision to get serious with eating local, more or less forsaking all others," Barbara writes. "It was such a novel idea that we had to make up our own language for it, although the word 'locavore' germinated so naturally from the lexicon that it was invented simultaneously by many people at around the same time. Now it's in the dictionary and on menus all over the place. What we'd thought of as our eccentric family notion broke out into something of a scene. I don't mean that we created a scene-not at all-but that we happened to publish our family's story at a moment when lots of families were ready to examine and take more control of their own food stories."

In the intervening years, Steven has added restaurant director to a résumé that already included professor and farmer, with a farm-to-table restaurant helping to revitalize their rural community. Camille attended college, became a mental health counselor, and with her husband Reid and son Owen now lives just minutes away from the family farm. Lily, whose egg-gathering business at age ten kept readers entertained, believes her land-based upbringing profoundly shaped her interests as an aspiring environmental scientist. Each family member explores this ten-year journey in a new final section of the book.

ANIMAL VEGETABLE MIRACLE has only become more relevant since its publication, increasing our awareness of how the agricultural establishment can affect our health and environment for the worse, or for the better. And how a world of choice is in our hands.

"Our highest shopping goal was to get our food from so close to home, we'd know the person who grew it. Often that turned out to be ourselves as we learned to produce what we needed, starting with dirt, seeds, and enough knowledge to muddle through. Or starting with baby animals, and enough sense to refrain from naming them."

-Barbara Kingsolver

Gr 4-8-Twelve-year-old Jude lives in a coastal tourist town in Syria where many people go to get away. While Jude wants to become a movie star, her older brother, Issa, wants more from their future than the oppression overtaking their beloved country. As the tumult crawls closer to Jude's home, Issa yearns to join the revolution in Aleppo, Baba refuses to leave his seaside store, and Mama believes the safest place for Jude, herself, and the baby she is carrying is with Jude's Uncle Mazin and Aunt Michelle in America. Leaving a possible war behind is easy, but leaving Baba, Issa, and everything she knows is hard. Adjusting to life in Cincinnati alongside her less-than-welcoming cousin, Sarah, is almost as difficult, especially with school play tryouts looming and Jude feeling that a girl like her would never get, or even merit, the spotlight. With the help of her fellow immigrant classmates and new Arabic-speaking American friend, Layla, Jude adjusts to her new home and family while never forgetting what she left behind. Told in verse and divided into five sections chronicling Jude's flight from Syria and adjustment to America, this powerful middle grade novel explores the complicated concepts of war and corruption, home, family, belonging, and how, in Jude's own words, "It is strange to feel lucky/for something that is making my heart feel so sad." Verdict Highly recommended for all libraries, this title will easily find a home next to books like Refugee by Alan Gratz and Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai.-Brittany Drehobl, Morton Grove Public Library, ILα(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.

[In] this timely book... rhythmic lines distill Jude's deepest emotions.... Warga effectively shows, as she writes in an author's note, that "children who are fleeing from a war zone... want the same things all of us do-love, understanding, safety, a chance at happiness." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Warga portrays with extraordinary talent the transformation of a family's life before and after the war began in Syria.... Her free-verse narration cuts straight to the bone... [and] confront[s] the difficult realities of being Muslim and Arab in the U.S. Poetic, immersive, hopeful." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Warga's middle-grade debut puts its hands around your heart and holds it, ever so gently, so that you're aware of your own fragility and resilience: just as Jude is while her life changes drastically... Other Words for Home should find its way into every middle-grade reader's hands." - ALA Booklist (starred review)

"This powerful middle grade novel explores the complicated concepts of war and corruption, home, family, [and] belonging.... Highly recommended for all libraries, this title will easily find a home next to books like Refugee by Alan Gratz and Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai." - School Library Journal (starred review)

"Convincing and authentic, infused with thoughtfulness, humor, determination, and hope.... A realistic portrait of the strength it takes to move to a new country, as well as of the complicated dynamics between first- and second-generation immigrants." - Horn Book (starred review)

"Warga situates her verse novel at a sweet spot for middle-graders...the complications of assessing whether Jude is as lucky as everyone makes her out to be ring poignantly true, and when Jude takes her place on the school stage, Warga's audience will surely applaud." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Through Jude's eyes readers see firsthand what it is to leave behind one's beloved home and family as many refugees do every single day. Young readers will laugh with Jude, cry with her, and root for her every step of the way. A beautiful, powerful, and necessary book." - Aisha Saeed, New York Times bestselling author of Amal Unbound.

" Other Words for Home is a gorgeously written middle grade novel with words that soar off the page. Told in stunning verse and featuring an effortlessly lovable narrator, this book will be a staple of middle grade shelves for years to come." - Rachel Strolle, Teen Librarian, Glenside Public Library

"This is a necessary story. We're lucky to have it in the world." - Jason Reynolds, award-winning, bestselling author of Ghost and Long Way Down
