Guadalupe Garcia McCall

In a companion novel to her critically acclaimed Shame the Stars, Pura Belpré Award Winner Guadalupe Garcia McCall tackles the hidden history of the United States and its first mass deportation that swept up hundreds of thousands of Mexican American citizens during the Great Depression.

In the heart of the Great Depression, Rancho Las Moras, like everywhere else in Texas, is gripped by the drought of the Dust Bowl, and resentment is building among white farmers against Mexican Americans. All around town, signs go up proclaiming "No Dogs or Mexicans" and "No Mexicans Allowed."

When Estrella organizes a protest against the treatment of tejanos in their town of Monteseco, Texas, her whole family becomes a target of "repatriation" efforts to send Mexicans "back to Mexico" -- whether they were ever Mexican citizens or not. Dumped across the border and separated from half her family, Estrella must figure out a way to survive and care for her mother and baby brother. How can she reunite with her father and grandparents and convince her country of birth that she deserves to return home?

There are no easy answers in the first YA book to tackle this hidden history.

Dana Reeve

Letters to Christopher Reeve from Strangers and Other Friends

When Christopher Reeve was paralyzed in a riding accident in 1995, the world was captivated by his struggle to survive, in the years since, he and his wife Dana have become major public figures -- he, delivering key speeches at national political events, earning Emmys for his brilliant directorial debut; she, appearing on television and on Broadway; together, creating a major charitable foundation for those with spinal cord injuries. How have they found the strength and inspiration to do what they are doing?To an astounding degree, they have found it in the thousands of letters, telegrams, e-mails, and cards that poured in from around the world when the news broke that Chris was gravely injured. From the legendary Katherine Hepburn, whose note is the very essence of her style ("Golly, what a mess!) to the series of letters from President Clinton, to the housewives and bankers and mechanics who saw in Chris and Dana their own struggles writ large, and who offered up their own hard-earned wisdom in an unforgettable gesture of hope and community.With great intelligence, charm, and grace, Dana Reeve takes us into the boxes of correspondence which have helped her family weather this ordeal. These letters, along with Dana's own story, create a rich and unforgettable tableaux of the triumph of the human spirit.

Six Russian Tales

Linda Bailey

From the team who brought you If You Happen to Have a Dinosaur comes a laugh-out-loud early chapter book about befriending the monster under the bed. There's a monster under Leo's bed making a ruckus every night. When Leo needs to go to the bathroom, he leaps from the bed to the door -- careful not to put his feet on the floor within the monster's reach. But one night Leo gets tired of being scared and boldly calls out to the monster to see if they can't just work something out. Surprisingly, the monster listens, and Leo finds out that even enormous monsters have fears! Leo and his monster, Fred, team up to face their fears, each with his own unique strengths. Over the course of five easy-to-read chapters, their friendship blooms as they face everything from bullies to bedbugs. A funny and endearing tale of two very different and unlikely friends, in the tradition of Bink and Gollie and Frog and Toad.

Cheryl Richardson

In Search of What Really Matters at Midlife

Internationally recognized coach and New York Times bestselling author Cheryl Richardson has toured the world empowering others to make lasting change. But when Richardson’s own life no longer worked as it once had, a persistent, inner voice offered unmistakable guidance: it was time to reevaluate her life to uncover what really mattered. Waking Up in Winter is the candid and revelatory account of how at midlife, Richardson found renewed contentment and purpose through a heroic, inward journey. The unfolding story, told through intimate journal entries, follows Richardson from the first, gentle nudges of change to a thoughtfully reimagined life – a soulful, spring awakening. With an experienced coach’s intuition and an artist’s eye, Richardson reexamines everything – her marriage, her work, her friendships, and her priorities – gracefully shedding parts of the self that no longer serve along the way. In the end, she not only discovers what really matters at midlife, she invites readers to join her in the inquiry process by providing thought-provoking questions designed to usher them through their own season of transformation. Offering up Richardson’s most powerful teaching tool yet – her own life – Waking Up in Winter takes readers on a brave, spiritual adventure that shows us all how to live a more authentic and meaningful life.
