  Francesca the Dragon

  This is the story 
  of Francesca the Dragon— 
  her winsome journeys 
  from familiar climes to foreign lands, 
  from alienation to acceptance, 
  from dejection to optimism, 
  as recited by 
  father to sleep-shirking son 
  at bedtime request. 
  Fourteen engaging illustrations 
  narrated via timeless florid prose 
  allow us to witness Francesca 
  as she seeks a home 
  befitting the truth of her 
  heart's immensity. 
  Raising a child can be daunting—especially if they sense ostracism. Sometimes things get better, and not just believing that but knowing it may foster sufficient intent to change their own narrative. This story illustrates that there can be a place in one’s life for mourning the past, the possibility that new horizons lie ahead and that one may eventually be accepted and appreciated as-is. 
  ~ On uncommon words (as this story has several) 
  Remarkably receptive to context clues, children grasp far more than we realize. That said, make an adventure of noting any unfamiliar and/or interesting words in advance of exploring a dictionary and thesaurus together.

  This is not how they expected the summer to play out. 
   
  Milo Bloom, chess prodigy, has a secret: he doesn’t want to play chess anymore.  
   
  If only he had the courage to tell someone. Instead, he blows a major tournament on purpose. The problem is, winning that tournament was a ticket to chess camp, and now his summer plans are shot. 
   
  Enter Roxie, a girl he’s never met, who shows up at his door to tell him that he and his mom will be spending the summer in her “cat room” … what? 
   
  Before Milo knows what’s hit him, he’s living at Roxie’s house, where creepy cats rule, meat products are banned, and Roxie won’t give him a second alone. But when Milo and Roxie stumble across two people playing a mysterious game, they become determined to learn  
  the ancient game of Go. Between late-night library adventures and creating a Go club at their camp, Milo and Roxie form an unexpected friendship. But none of that matters if Milo can’t face his fears and tell his mom how he really feels. 
   
  From the author of The Doughnut Fix comes another funny, heartfelt book about overcoming the fear of letting down the people you love and the amazing things that can come from a summer of nothing going your way.

  Call Me Roberto! - Roberto...

  GROWING UP IN CAROLINA, Puerto Rico, Roberto Clemente loved to play baseball. He swung a tree branch—since he didn’t have a bat—and hit tin cans. At the age of 19, his passion for the sport paid off when he was tapped for a Major League team. First stop: chilly Montreal, where he warmed the bench and himself, longing to play baseball. Months later, he finally got his chance with the Pittsburgh Pirates where his talent on the field was soon on display. Many fans loved his bold playing style, but not everyone was quick to embrace a Black man from Puerto Rico who spoke español. A man who demanded to be called Roberto, not Bob. 
   
  MLB.com journalist Nathalie Alonso shows the emotional highs and lows of Roberto Clemente’s career as he fought racism—from fans, reporters, and other figures in the sport—to become one of the greatest baseball players of all time.
