  "Rapunzel" is a German fairy tale in the collection assembled by the Brothers Grimm, and first published in 1812 as part of Children's and Household Tales.
  A lonely couple, who want a child, live next to a walled garden belonging to a sorceress. The wife, experiencing the cravings associated with the arrival of her long-awaited pregnancy, notices some rapunzel, growing in the garden and longs for it. She refuses to eat anything else and gets sick, and the husband begins to fear for her life. One night, her husband breaks into the garden to get some for her. She makes a salad out of it and greedily eats it. It tastes so good that she longs for more. So her husband goes to get some more for her. As he scales the wall to return home, the sorceress catches him and accuses him of theft. He begs for mercy, and she agrees to be lenient, and allows him to take all the rapunzel he wants, on condition that the baby be given to her when it's born. Desperate, he agrees. When his wife has a baby girl, the sorceress takes her to raise as her own and names her "Rapunzel" after the plant her mother craved. She grows up to be the most beautiful child in the world, with long golden hair. When she turns twelve, the sorceress locks her up inside a tower in the middle of the woods, with neither stairs nor a door, and only one room and one window. In order to visit Rapunzel, the sorceress stands beneath the tower and calls out: Rapunzel! Rapunzel!...

  Winston Churchill was born into a wealthy aristocratic family. He grew up with stories of his ancestor, John Churchill, First Duke of Marlborough, who led the British army to triumph against the French and Bavarians in the War of the Spanish Succession.After serving in the British Cavalry, Winston followed his father in politics, eventually becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain as Europe descended into war once again. Before long, the British stood alone against Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. During this dark time, Winston’s leadership skills were put to the test as he encouraged his countrymen to stand firm against the would-be German invaders. Without Winston Churchill’s courage, vision, and perseverance under these extreme circumstances, the outcome of World War II might well have been very different (1874–1965).

  A bold anthem that celebrates the power and potential of young Black boys by the award-winning creative author Brynne Barnes. 
    
  From the celebrated author of Black Girl Rising and Colors of Me, this is a book to read, share, and cherish across generations. 
    
  Black Boy, Rise combines gorgeous, moving text filled with lyrical references to poets and writers whose voices have lifted and defined the Black experience, including Langston Hughes, Lucille Clifton, W. E. B. Du Bois, and James Weldon Johnson, that powerfully reflect the soul and gloriousness of Black boys in all their brilliance: the rich legacy of their past, the grit and grace of their present, and the divine promise of their future. 
    
  BLACK JOY: This dynamic anthem speaks directly to the need of families, educators, and young readers to see the full beauty, richness, and complexity of Black boys' experiences reflected in thoughtful, empowering children's literature that positively portrays and celebrates Black boyhood. 
    
  AFRICAN AMERICAN BOOKS FOR KIDS: For fans of All Because You Matter and Crown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut, Brynne Barnes brings a fresh spin with her rhythmic rhyming text that exhorts readers to 'Make beauty. Make joy. Make believe, and pretend. Make wonder. Makes wishes. Make magic begin.'
