Love The Baby

Steven L. Layne

A big-brother bunny struggles to welcome his brand-new sibling in this sweet picture book with “a zesty layer of humor” (Booklist). Older siblings are notorious for reluctantly welcoming home a new bundle of joy, and many parents know the difficulty of teaching the firstborn to “love the baby.” In this new picture book by the award-winning team of Steven Layne and Ard Hoyt, the refrain of “looooove the baby” is repeated often enough for it to eventually come true for the once-insecure and spiteful older brother. The transition occurs when Baby cries and cries one night, and no one comes to help. Awakened by the cries, the older brother comes to Baby’s rescue. He makes Baby giggle and sing and builds a giant tower of blocks. He reads Baby his favorite book. Once Baby is finally asleep, the big brother notices with pride that he really does love the baby after all! Parents and teachers will appreciate how this book lightly and humorously approaches such a weighty subject for children awaiting or adjusting to a new sibling. With colorful illustrations of bunnies, kids of all backgrounds and ages can relate and recognize themselves in the story. “There’s certainly no shortage of books about a child’s adjustment to a new baby in the house, but Layne’s take on the familiar theme is sweet and direct enough even for very young children to grasp.” —Booklist “This story could well become a favorite for children who are grappling with accepting a new baby into the family.” —School Library Journal

Believarexic

J.J. Johnson

Asking for help is only the first step Jennifer can’t go on like this—binging, purging, starving, all while trying to appear like she’s got it all together. But when she finally confesses her secret to her parents and is hospitalized at the Samuel Tuke Center, her journey is only beginning. As Jennifer progresses through her treatment, she learns to recognize her relationships with food, friends, and family—and how each relationship is healthy or unhealthy. She has to learn to trust herself and her own instincts, but that’s easier than it sounds. She has to believe—after many years of being a believarexic. Using her trademark dark humor and powerful emotion, J. J. Johnson tells an inspiring story that is based on her own experience of being hospitalized for an eating disorder as a teenager. The innovative format—which tells Jennifer’s story through blank verse and prose, with changes in tense and voice, and uses forms, workbooks, and journal entries—mirrors the protagonist’s progress toward a healthy body and mind.

Running with Cosmos Flowers -...

Richard Marshall, Shizumi...

On August 6, 1945, everything changed for the people of Hiroshima. Based on true accounts from survivors, this powerful historical novel recounts how an unexpected act of generosity helped the children of Hiroshima’s Honkawa Elementary School rebuild their lives and spark a friendship between the peoples of Japan and the United States.“A wonderful and powerful book that brought back the most unbelievable and painful memories of my childhood. The main character, Hana-chan, and I share many things, especially her sadness and longing for the mother and sister she lost in the bombing of Hiroshima. But the pain of her loss is beautifully balanced by the stories of the children huddled around a cold stove in their leaky classroom, their friendship and vitality, and the gifts they later receive from America. To this day I remember the colorful American marbles they sent and how badly I wanted some. This story has kept our memories alive again. Despite the terrible events of World War II, a beautiful friendship bloomed between Japan and America. I am certain that this book will contribute to world peace.” - Toshimi Ishida, survivor of the bombing of Hiroshima, former student of Honkawa Elementary School.“An eloquent tale of the human consequences of the war and shows the undying strength of human love even in the face of hardship and conflict.” - Harriet Fulbright, former executive director of the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities.
