   And as they went to tell his disciples, Jesus met them, and said, “All hail.”  
             And they came and held him by the feet, and worshiped him. 
  	Then said Jesus to them, “Be not afraid: go tell my disciples that they should go into Galilee, and there will they see me.”  
  	 Now when they were going, some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all the things that were done. 
  	And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave a lot of money to the soldiers, and said, “Say, His disciples came by night, and stole his body away while we slept. And if this news comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.” 
  	So they took the money, and did as they were told: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews even today. 
  	Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had told them about. 
  	And when they saw him, they worshiped him: but some doubted. 
  	And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in the earth.” 
  	 “Go, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”  
  	After he said this, he was taken up into Heaven in a cloud and they saw him no more. The disciples returned to Jerusalem with great joy because the Lord was working with them and confirming the signs and wonders that they did.

  ECPA Easter Bestseller 2024!How can we help children experience the true meaning of Lent, cultivate generosity, and prepare their hearts for Easter? Make Room by Laura Alary offers an innovative and engaging way for children to approach Lent, teaching them how to "make room" for Jesus in their everyday lives through acts of kindness, hospitality, and self-reflection.
  This beautifully illustrated children's book connects everyday activities—like baking bread, having a neighbor over for dinner, or un-cluttering a room—with the story of Jesus' life, showing how these simple tasks mirror the values of justice, love, and sacrifice that Jesus lived. It's not just a book about Lent; it's an invitation to experience it with all the senses, helping children understand how to embody faith and discipleship in their own unique ways.
  Unlike traditional books that simply recount the Passion narrative, Make Room thoughtfully integrates the themes of hospitality and self-giving that were central to Jesus' ministry. It invites children to wonder about the story of Lent and Easter, teaching them that this season is not just about giving up things, but about creating space in our hearts and lives for others—and for God.

  Twelve-year-old Elwood McGee never asked to have “ghost-sight,” and it involves a lot more drool-dodging than he expected. Ghosts are the WORST—and they're all over the place in this sharp-witted middle grade debut novel.  
  Did you know that ghosts love coffee? They’re not trying to be scary. They’re just deprived of an appropriate amount of caffeine! They also bump into things by accident, are occasionally nosy, and get a little nervous when they’re seen by the living.  
  Elwood McGee knows these ghost facts because he’s one of those rare people with the gift of ghost-sight. And it turns out ghosts are everywhere! Especially in the small Tennessee town where Elwood and his family had to move following the death of his big brother Noah, which Elwood thinks was his fault.  
  Once Elwood figures out he can see ghosts, he becomes single-mindedly determined to use his powers to see Noah and talk to him one last time. With the help of two girls who live on his street, Elwood embarks on a journey through the surprisingly funny world of ghosts and faces the realities of letting go.   
  At once hilarious and heart-wrenching, Adam Rosenbaum makes his middle grade debut with a supernaturalish novel about grief that’s perfect for fans of Gordon Korman and Dan Gutman.

  * A Cooperative Children's Book Center Choices List Selection * 
  Anna’s family have settled into life in California—their small restaurant is even turning a profit. Then her parents make a shattering discovery: their visas have expired. 
  Anna’s world is quickly overwhelmed by unfamiliar words like “undocumented.” She longs to share the towering secret that looms over every aspect of her life with a friend, but her parents strictly forbid her from telling anyone.  
  As Anna grapples with the complexities of being undocumented, the strain that it places on her family, and the loneliness of keeping it all to herself, she has to wonder—if America is the promised land, why does everything she’s hoped for feel like a lie? 
  Perfect for fans of Kelly Yang, Reem Faruqi, and Jasmine Warga, this middle grade novel in verse, inspired by the author’s own experiences, focuses on themes of legal documentation, identity, and language’s ability to divide and unite.
