    Sonnie and the Pink Collar, a story about friendship and acceptance, tells the heartwarming tale of Sonnie, whom children see as a rough and tough muscular dog, and her friend, Tucker, whom children see as a big teddy bear. Sonnie grapples with being misjudged as a dog that children should not get near because of how it looks. 
    Being ignored makes Sonnie feel sad as she watches Tucker get all the attention. When Tucker learns that Sonnie feels we neglected, he embarks on a mission for children to see Sonnie differently, hoping it will cheer up his doggie friend. Through humorous attempts to recommend that Sonnie wear a pink tutu, a hat adorned with daisies, and even pink boots, Tucker finally lands on an idea that Sonnie loves. 
    Tucker’s creative solution not only attracts children to Sonnie, it also gives her that much-needed self-confidence. Sonnie and the Pink Collar emphasizes the importance of feeling accepted and the power of true friendship.

    Told through "moments of despair, heartbreak, laughter, and triumph" (Kirkus), this "inspiring" (Booklist) and "hopeful" (School Library Journal) memoir tells the true story of how a modern teen girl and her Holocaust-survivor friend fought against hate to create change.    In 2018, fourteen-year-old Claire Sarnowski stood with ninety-two-year-old Alter Wiener in front of the Oregon state senate to champion a cause the two friends both believed in: making Holocaust education mandatory in their state’s public school curriculum. Theirs was an unexpected friendship—she was in elementary school when they met, and he was an aging Holocaust survivor whose memoir she had read—and together they were going to change the American education system. Alter had spent decades speaking to audiences of all ages and backgrounds about the Holocaust, teaching that “never forgetting” could help spread tolerance and prevent such an atrocity from happening again. But Claire knew hate crimes were still being committed, in her own town and even in her own school. She didn’t want Alter’s efforts on Holocaust education to be in vain. From strangers to friends to law-changing history makers, Claire and Alter’s mission was always simple: Remember this story. This page-turning memoir is a tribute to a man who survived the worst of humanity, an ode to friendship and community, and an empowering call to activism.

    For fans of Duncan Tonatiuh and Yuyi Morales' Dreamers, a one-of-a-kind book about one immigrant family's journey north, in the vein of an ancient codex and drawing upon Mesoamerican mythology. 
      
    We, the Vargas Ramírez family, come from a faraway place north of Tenochtitlan called Iztapalapa, Land of Clay Upon Water. A land surrounded by cars and dry grass; a place where the pieces of our small world were scattered. For some time we lived there, but then one day my father heard a beautiful birdsong that rose up and appeared to say tihui, tihui, tihui: let’s go, let’s go, let’s go. And so we gathered up our friends who made up that small world and decided to head north, for the other side, and a better life.  
      
    Together the Boy and his family will journey from the Land of the Frogs to The Place Where Feet Cry to the River Where the Waters Tangle, fleeing Gunmen and braving Coyotes and plunging darknesses as black as an obsidian forest. Originally published in Mexico, Pilgrim Codex (Códice peregrino) captures through the eyes of a child one family's part in the ever-changing and fleeting story of the brave migrant warriors who search for a better place to live. 
      
    ★ "Together, word and image work richly together to describe a suspenseful journey of 'many things, terrible and magnificent.'"—Publishers Weekly (starred)
