As a teen, I remember feeling like Ashley, the lead character in this novel, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙆𝙞𝙙𝙨. I was that black kid that was in the AP classes that was predominately a white space. I felt like an alien at times, while also feeling at home. This novel spoke to me and I got it. I understood how she felt and the struggles she dealt with personally, socially, and culturally. The Rodney King verdict was huge and quite disappointing. In the present, we are still dealing with the issue of justice in the policing of black lives. As a person that identities as African-American, this story could have been written in the present and I would still feel the same. I am glad this book was written and it is timely and coincidental that 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙆𝙞𝙙𝙨 is being released at this time. I feel like my story is being told through the lens of Ashley and her family and friends.

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2022

This book really opened my eyes and taught me different perspectives. The main character Ashley is a upper-middle-class Black girl, not quite fitting in with the other rich white kids at her school, but also not quite fitting in with the scholarship Black kids. When the Rodney King riots break out, Ashley is torn between two worlds. She learns from her own ignorance and mistakes and comes out on top.
A MUST READ.

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2020

This might be among my top favorite reads for 2020. What I absolutely loved about this book is the raw honesty we were able to see with our main character. She wasn’t perfect, she made mistakes, and every teen can connect with that. The writing is impeccable and that close first person narrative really drew me in. Also as a huge 90’s music fan I was sent to major reminiscing and finally agreed that yes this is historical fiction as much as I want to deny that for my own age purposes! This is a must read, a coming of age story and one we often don’t get to see-a Black privileged girl growing into her identity and understanding of the larger issues in the world that will impact her regardless of how affluent she is. Race is still a factor. So smartly done under the backdrop of the Rodney King Trial which gave an awakening to so many people at the time. And sadly still timely. In the classroom and for readers wanted note of this era I’d pair the Black Kids and Steph Cha’s Your House Will Pay. Five stars, great read.

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2020

I had a hard time getting into the beginning of the book. Being the only Black girl in a group of wealthy white friends isn’t relatable for me. That made it a challenge for me to connect to Ashley. The more I read, she began to grow on me. In some ways I pitied her. It’s sad to see our kids so disconnected from our roots. Her story brought to mind the old saying, “All skin folk ain’t kin folk”. LaShawn’s story made the book a lot more enjoyable for me. He is such a lovable character. I’d love to read more about his future. The ending was a little flat for me, but I still enjoyed the overall story. Growing up on the east coast, I was so far removed from the uprising after the Rodney King verdict. It was interesting to read about it from a new perspective.

Review

★ "A compelling and transformative story of a tragic period in American history....Each voice is powerful, evoking raw emotions of fear, anger, resentment, uncertainty, grief, pride, and love....An unforgettable must-read.​" —Kirkus, STARRED review   ★ "Chee is a master storyteller…. Here, she uses her own San Francisco–based Japanese American family's history to inform a blazing and timely indictment of the incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII. Her passion and personal involvement combine with her storytelling talents to create a remarkable and deeply moving account of the incarceration…. [We Are Not Free] should become required curriculum reading on a shameful and relevant chapter in U.S. history." —Booklist, STARRED review   ★ "The novel may be fiction, but it will be hard for readers not to fall deep into the harsh realities these teens face. The writing is engaging and emotionally charged, allowing the readers to connect with each character...Chee’s words are a lot to take in, but necessary and beautiful all the same." —School Library Journal, STARRED review   ★ "Inspired by Chee’s family history, the book powerfully depicts, as an author’s note states, “a mere fraction of what this generation went through.” This is an essential contribution to the understanding of the wide-ranging experiences impacting people of Japanese ancestry in the U.S. during WWII."  —Publishers Weekly, STARRED review   "A brilliant and intimate portrayal of several San Francisco teenagers during the mass incarceration of Japanese-Americans in World War II. Chee's nuanced and unforgettable characters will serve to enlighten readers about this devastating and shameful piece of America's past. A beautiful, painful, and necessary work of historical fiction."  —Veera Hiranandani, Newbery Honor winning author of The Night Diary   “Traci Chee masterfully weaves together harrowing truths about the mass incarceration of Japanese and Japanese-Americans during WWII, and features a cast of friends whose honesty, strength, and love for one another will break your heart. With characters who need to have their stories told, and a history that should never be forgotten, WE ARE NOT FREE is powerful, moving, and so incredibly necessary.” – Akemi Dawn Bowman, Morris Award Finalist and author of Starfish     “These powerful interconnected stories of incarceration during WWII told by Nisei youth will wrap around your heart like barbed wire. With deft touches of humor, heart, pathos, and anger, We Are Not Free by the talented Traci Chee is the best Japanese American incarceration novel I’ve read. I loved this book that epitomized gaman and will be buying a copy for everyone in my family.”  —author Debbi Michiko Florence     “This novel is nothing short of a masterpiece. In We Are Not Free, Traci Chee gives us the most comprehensive novelization of the Japanese American internment that I've ever read, without sacrificing the intimate and achingly human individual experience. Traci Chee's characters don't step off the page so much as they shuffle, sashay, and swagger. With them, you will blaze with incandescent rage, crumble with internalized shame, and laugh with true, soul-deep joy. Each individual voice, each individual story is a gem; taken as a whole, they are an unforgettable wonder that you will want to return to again and again.”  —Misa Sugiura, author of This Time Will Be Different and It's Not Like It's a Secret, winner of the 2018 APALA Award for YA Literature   &n —

Starred Review. Reviewed by Megan Whalen Turner Fahrenheit 451 , hers is a gripping story set in a postapocalyptic world where a replacement for the United States demands a tribute from each of its territories: two children to be used as gladiators in a televised fight to the death.Katniss, from what was once Appalachia, offers to take the place of her sister in the Hunger Games, but after this ultimate sacrifice, she is entirely focused on survival at any cost. It is her teammate, Peeta, who recognizes the importance of holding on to one's humanity in such inhuman circumstances. It's a credit to Collins's skill at characterization that Katniss, like a new Theseus, is cold, calculating and still likable. She has the attributes to be a winner, where Peeta has the grace to be a good loser.It's no accident that these games are presented as pop culture. Every generation projects its fear: runaway science, communism, overpopulation, nuclear wars and, now, reality TV. The State of Panem-which needs to keep its tributaries subdued and its citizens complacent-may have created the Games, but mindless television is the real danger, the means by which society pacifies its citizens and punishes those who fail to conform. Will its connection to reality TV, ubiquitous today, date the book? It might, but for now, it makes this the right book at the right time. What happens if we choose entertainment over humanity? In Collins's world, we'll be obsessed with grooming, we'll talk funny, and all our sentences will end with the same rise as questions. When Katniss is sent to stylists to be made more telegenic before she competes, she stands naked in front of them, strangely unembarrassed. They're so unlike people that I'm no more self-conscious than if a trio of oddly colored birds were pecking around my feet, she thinks. In order not to hate these creatures who are sending her to her death, she imagines them as pets. It isn't just the contestants who risk the loss of their humanity. It is all who watch. Katniss struggles to win not only the Games but the inherent contest for audience approval. Because this is the first book in a series, not everything is resolved, and what is left unanswered is the central question. Has she sacrificed too much? We know what she has given up to survive, but not whether the price was too high. Readers will wait eagerly to learn more.
If there really are only seven original plots in the world, it's odd that boy meets girl is always mentioned, and society goes bad and attacks the good guy never is. Yet we have , The Giver , The House of the Scorpion -and now, following a long tradition of Brave New Worlds, The Hunger Games . Collins hasn't tied her future to a specific date, or weighted it down with too much finger wagging. Rather less 1984 and rather more Death Race 2000 Megan Whalen Turner is the author of the Newbery Honor book The Thief and its sequels, The Queen of Attolia and The King of Attolia . The next book in the series will be published by Greenwillow in 2010.

Grade 7 Up -In a not-too-distant future, the United States of America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss's young sister, Prim, is selected as the mining district's female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart, Peeta, the son of the town baker who seems to have all the fighting skills of a lump of bread dough, will be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have trained for this their whole lives. Collins's characters are completely realistic and sympathetic as they form alliances and friendships in the face of overwhelming odds; the plot is tense, dramatic, and engrossing. This book will definitely resonate with the generation raised on reality shows like 'Survivor' and 'American Gladiator.' Book one of a planned trilogy.

A #1 New York Times Bestseller and Winner of the Caldecott Medal about the remarkable true story of the bear who inspired Winnie-the-Pooh. Before Winnie-the-Pooh, there was a real bear named Winnie. And she was a girl!
In 1914, Harry Colebourn, a veterinarian on his way to tend horses in World War I, followed his heart and rescued a baby bear. He named her Winnie, after his hometown of Winnipeg, and he took the bear to war.

Harry Colebourn's real-life great-granddaughter tells the true story of a remarkable friendship and an even more remarkable journey--from the fields of Canada to a convoy across the ocean to an army base in England...

And finally to the London Zoo, where Winnie made another new friend: a real boy named Christopher Robin.

The daughter of a clay artist and a poet, Maya grew up with art and learned to think with her hands as well as her mind. From her first experiments with light and lines to the height of her success nationwide, this is the story of an inspiring American artist: the visionary artist-architect who designed the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

Leah Henderson's picture book A Day for Rememberin' is a moving tribute to the little-known history behind the first Memorial Day, illustrated by Coretta Scott King Award winner Floyd Cooper. A Day for Rememberin' shines light on the little-known history of this important holiday and reminds us never to forget the people who put their lives on the line for their country. The book is illustrated by award-winning illustrator Floyd Cooper and includes archival photos in the back matter, as well as an author's note, bibliography, timeline, and index.

Today is a special day. Eli knows it's important if he's allowed to miss one second of school, his "hard-earned right."

Inspired by true events and told through the eyes of a young boy, this is the deeply moving story about what is regarded as the first Memorial Day on May 1, 1865. Eli dresses up in his best clothes, Mama gathers the mayflowers, Papa straightens his hat, and together they join the crowds filling the streets of Charleston, South Carolina, with bouquets, crosses, and wreaths. Abolitionists, missionaries, teachers, military officers, and a sea of faces Black, Brown, and white, they march as one and sing for all those who gave their lives fighting for freedom during the Civil War.

With poignant prose and celebratory, powerful illustrations,

"This immigration story is universal." -School Library Journal, Starred

Dan Yaccarino's great-grandfather arrived at Ellis Island with a small shovel and his parents' good advice: "Work hard, but remember to enjoy life, and never forget your family." With simple text and warm, colorful illustrations, Yaccarino recounts how the little shovel was passed down through four generations of this Italian-American family-along with the good advice.

It's a story that will have kids asking their parents and grandparents: Where did we come from? How did our family make the journey all the way to America?

"A shovel is just a shovel, but in Dan Yaccarino's hands it becomes a way to dig deep into the past and honor all those who helped make us who we are." -Eric Rohmann, winner of the Caldecott Medal for My Friend Rabbit

" All the Way to America is a charmer. Yaccarino's heartwarming story rings clearly with truth, good cheer, and love." -Tomie dePaola, winner of a Caldecott Honor Award for Strega Nona

"Family isn't always your relatives. It's the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, and who love you no matter what." -Unknown

Teachers do so much more than just teach academics. They build a sense of community within their classrooms, creating a home away from home where they make their students feel safe, included, and loved.

With its heartfelt message and colorfully whimsical illustrations, "Our Class is a Family" is a book that will help build and strengthen that class community. Kids learn that their classroom is a place where it's safe to be themselves, it's okay to make mistakes, and it's important to be a friend to others. When hearing this story being read aloud by their teacher, students are sure to feel like they are part of a special family.

And currently, during such an unprecedented time when many teachers and students are not physically IN the classroom due to COVID-19 school closures, it's more important than it's ever been to give kids the message that their class is a family. Even at a distance, they still stick together.

PLEASE SEE FISH IN A TREE Trailer here:

Praise for One for the Murphys:

"An astonishing debut! Lynda Mullaly Hunt's direct style of writing has readers rooting for Carley Connors and all of the Murphys from start to satisfying finish."

~~Leslie Connor, ALA Schneider Family Award-winning author of Waiting for Normal and Crunch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"This is a beautiful book, filled with hope. You'll cry and laugh along with Carley as she learns to lower her defenses enough to love-and, more surprisingly, be loved. It's a story you'll long remember."

~~Patricia Reilly Giff, Newbery Honor-winning author of Pictures of Hollis Woods and Lily's Crossing

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Carley is a modern-day Gilly Hopkins, bright and strong, angry and deeply hurt...The first-person narration allows readers inside Carley's head as she fights against both showing emotion and her growing pleasure in belonging to their world. There's plenty of snappy dialogue as well. By the end of this poignant debut, readers will be applauding Carley's strength even if they're as unhappy as Carley is about the resolution. A worthy addition to the foster-family shelf." (Kirkus-*Starred Review*)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"...Scenes at home with the Murphy family, as well as those in which Carley builds a tentative friendship at school, are undeniably affecting....Hunt's writing is strong and her characters well-developed and believable...readers will still be drawn into this story of a girl's struggle against the ingrained belief that she is undeserving of kindness and generosity." (Publishers Weekly)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"...Hunt successfully creates a portrait of a young girl's emerging understanding of the complexities of family and the awareness that loyalty is not the same as ignoring your own wants and needs. Carley's struggles with anger, regret, and self-worth both balance and deepen this coming-of-age tale. The novel speaks to the universal experience of growing up but will especially resonate with readers who have questioned the hands they have been dealt and wonder how to move forward nonetheless. Hunt's novel vacillates between uplifting and heartbreaking as Carley learns to love, be loved, and let go." (Hornbook)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"In One for the Murphys, Lynda Mullaly Hunt convincingly portrays the personality of a questioning tween as she interacts with those around her. This is a life-affirming middle grade novel-perfect for those struggling with similar issues of fitting in or standing out." (Booklist)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"...Lynda Mullaly Hunt's debut novel is powerful, honest, and heart-breakingly beautiful. This is a book for every¬one, not just middle-school girls; teens and adults will love it as well." (Sacramento Book Review)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"One for the Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt shines for its honest portrayal of a girl caught between two worlds: the life she'd love to live and the life she's afraid to leave behind." (Chicago Examiner)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Other Review:

One for the Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt is a beautiful poignant story of eighty days in the life of a child placed in foster care with a loving family. It accomplishes the amazing feat of being both realistic and optimistic. The story encourages an empathetic appreciation for each character's struggles, and transformation, as they strengthen in love, understanding, and honesty. With humor and wit, the story is a "must" for foster children and the families that love them.

Nicolette M. Banbury, Nationally Certified Psychologist and Licensed Professional Counselor/Specializing in Play Therapy and Trauma

One for the Murphys skillfully balances the genuine struggles, hopes, joys, and disappointments of a foster child, the foster family that brings her into their fold, and the birth mothers painful choices. The story reveals many of the emotional nuances and coping strategies often found in these circumstances that are, for most, very hard to conceptualize and understand. The humaneness of the story is validating, educating, and compassionate. I would highly recommend it for therapeutic use in psychoeducational formats, with bibliotherapy, and in situations where attachment to parents has been seriously compromised and traumatic.

We all benefit when a book like this one is published.

Read Deaf writer Ann Clare Le Zotte's interview with Alex here, hosted by We Need Diverse Books.
The way the world sees you changes how you see the world.
Jilly thinks she's figured out how life works. But when her sister Emma is born Deaf, she realizes how much she still has to learn. The world is going to treat Jilly, who is white and hearing, differently from Emma, just as it will treat them both differently from their Black cousins.

A big fantasy reader, Jilly makes a connection online with another fantasy fan, Derek, who is a Deaf Black ASL user. She goes to Derek for help with Emma but doesn't always know the best way or time to ask for it. As she and Derek meet in person, have some really fun conversations, and become friends, Jilly makes some mistakes . . . but comes to understand that it's up to her, not Derek, to figure out how to do better next time - especially when she wants to be there for Derek the most.

Within a world where kids like Derek and Emma aren't assured the same freedom or safety as kids like Jilly, Jilly is starting to learn all the things she doesn't know - and by doing that, she's also working to discover how to support her family and her friends.

With You Don't Know Everything, Jilly P!, award-winning author Alex Gino uses their trademark humor, heart, and humanity to show readers how being open to difference can make you a better person, and being open to change can make you change in the best possible ways.

Published in hardcover from Scholastic Press on September 25, 2019. Paperback released May 2020. Edited by David Levithan.

You can order a signed copy of JILLY P! through Oblong Books (include any personalization in your comments) or use Indie Bound to find an independent bookstore near you. Award-winning audiobook is available through Libro.fm. JILLY P! is also available at Apple Books, Google Play, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon!

Thanks to Ayisha Knight-Shaw for gifting Derek with a wonderful name sign, which gets right at the way Derek has one eyebrow raised at the universe. It is an X-handshape with a wiggling index finger above the eyebrow.

Here, Ayisha tells us "The name sign is Derek." Derek is the last sign. (In ASL grammar, she says: NAME SIGN WHAT? DEREK)

Thanks also to the Nerdy Book Club for hosting the cover reveal. Read Alex's thoughts on the book and cover here!

Review

"Bell’s book should be an inspiration for those who are ‘different,’ and it should help others to understand just what being different means. Required reading isn’t always fun reading. El Deafo should be the first and is definitely the second."―New York Times Book Review
**STARRED REVIEW**
"This memoir is thus exceptionally informative and entertaining in relation to some aspects of deaf communication, but, most centrally and powerfully, it is exceptional for its perceptive, indomitable protagonist and complex story of friendship, growth, and classroom and family dynamics."―

When Adam started kindergarten, the teacher wanted him to learn about letters. But "p" looked like "q," and "b" looked like "d." Adam would rather color or mold clay. In first grade, his teacher wanted him to put the letters into words so he could read. That was the beginning of the Alphabet War. "Was" looked like "saw," and "there" looked like "then." Almost everyone else in his class was learning to read, but Adam was fighting a war against letters.

In second grade, he had to learn to spell, which was also impossible. Now he was so frustrated he got into trouble and had to go to the principal's office. At last, in third grade, he got the right kind of help. Slowly he began to do better. During fourth grade, he learned that he could excel in other things. That gave him the confidence to take chances with reading. One day he found himself reading a book all by himself!
