Single Title: $17.99 NEW Hello, Mandarin Duck! ©21 9781684462568 Mazie is ready to celebrate liberty. She is ready to celebrate freedom. She is ready to celebrate a great day in American history. The day her ancestors were no longer slaves. Mazie remembers the struggles and the triumph, as she gets ready to celebrate Juneteenth. A 2018 Caldecott Honor Book that Kirkus Reviews calls “a must-read for our times,” A Different Pond is an unforgettable story about a simple event - a long-ago fishing trip. Graphic novelist Thi Bui and acclaimed poet Bao Phi deliver a powerful, honest glimpse into a relationship between father and son - and between cultures, old and new. As a young boy, Bao and his father awoke early, hours before his father’s long workday began, to fish on the shores of a small pond in Minneapolis. Unlike many other anglers, Bao and his father fished for food, not recreation. A successful catch meant a fed family. Between hope-filled casts, Bao’s father told him about a different pond in their homeland of Vietnam. Thi Bui’s striking, evocative art paired with Phi’s expertly crafted prose has earned this powerful picture books six starred reviews and numerous awards. Every child feels different in some way, but Thuy feels “double different.” She is Vietnamese American and she has two moms. Thuy walks home one winter afternoon, angry and lonely after a bully’s taunts. Then a bird catches her attention and sets Thuy on an imaginary exploration. What if she could fly away like a bird? What if she could sprint like a deer, or roar like a bear? Mimicking the footprints of each creature in the snow, she makes her way home to the arms of her moms. Together, the three of them imagine beautiful and powerful creatures who always have courage - just like Thuy. “Twins Hue and Hoa are excited for the May Day parade! While waiting at the park for the parade to begin, they spot a little duck who seems new to the neighborhood—and looks confused by the crowd and commotion. How can the twins help the duck get to the pond? Many friends from the neighborhood stop to say hello and offer suggestions. Teamwork, collective brainstorming, and the duck’s own inspiration finally help it reach its new home—with an entire community welcoming it with a parade! A celebration of a vibrant, multicultural neighborhood that warmly welcomes newcomers from near and far, this story also encourages communal problem-solving and offers a gentle reminder of the deportation fears many children and families face.” A 2018 CALDECOTT WINNERPatrick’s Polka-Dot Tights Single Title: $17.95 NEW Patrick’s Polka- Dot Tights ©21 9781684460694 Emma Every Day Series of 4: $63.96 9781515872085 Crazy for Apples ©20 9781515871828 • $15.99 Going on a Field Trip ©20 9781515871835 • $15.99 Party Problems ©20 9781515871804 • $15.99 Tap Dance Troubles ©20 9781515871811 • $15.99 Yasmin Series of 16: $247.84 9781515882879 NEW Yasmin the Librarian ©21 9781515882596 • $15.49 • GRL: TBD NEW Yasmin the Recycler ©21 9781515882619 • $15.49 • GRL: TBD NEW Yasmin the Scientist ©21 9781515882602 • $15.49 • GRL: TBD NEW Yasmin the Singer ©21 9781515882626 • $15.49 • GRL: TBD Yasmin the Builder ©18 9781515827276 • $15.49 • GRL: K Yasmin the Chef ©18 9781515837848 • $15.49 • GRL: K Yasmin the Explorer ©18 9781515827290 • $15.49 • GRL: K Yasmin the Fashionista ©18 9781515831037 • $15.49 • GRL: K Yasmin the Friend ©19 9781515846444 • $15.49 • GRL: K Yasmin the Gardener ©19 9781515846413 • $15.49 • GRL: K Yasmin the Painter ©18 9781515827283 • $15.49 • GRL: K Yasmin the Soccer Star ©19 9781515846420 • $15.49 • GRL: K Yasmin the Superhero ©18 9781515837831 • $15.49 • GRL: K Yasmin the Teacher ©18 9781515837824 • $15.49 • GRL: K Yasmin the Writer ©19 9781515846437 • $15.49 • GRL: K Yasmin the Zookeeper ©18 9781515837855 • $15.49 • GRL: K My Furry Foster Family Series of 8: $139.92 9781515870968 Apple and Annie, the Hamster Duo ©19 9781515844730 • $17.49 • GRL: L Betty the Bearded Dragon ©19 9781515844761 • $17.49• GRL: L Buttons the Kitten ©19 9781515844747 • $17.49 • GRL: L Kingston the Great Dane ©20 9781515870920 • $17.49 Murray the Ferret ©20 9781515870913 • $17.49 Roo the Rabbit ©20 9781515870937 • $17.49 Tiki the Cockatoo ©20 9781515870906 • $17.49 Truman the Dog ©19 9781515844754 • $17.49 • GRL: L Patrick’s tights are smooth and stretchy, purple and polka-dotty, and absolutely perfect for pretend play.

She was a talented player, but she wasn’t welcome in the segregated All-American Girls Pro Baseball League due to the color of her skin. However, a greater opportunity came her way in 1953 when Johnson signed to play ball for the Negro Leagues’ Indianapolis Clowns, becoming the first female pitcher to play on a men’s professional team. During the three years she pitched for the Clowns, her record was an impressive 33-8. But more importantly, she broke ground for other female athletes and for women everywhere. Soon after American colonists had won independence from Great Britain, Ona Judge was fighting for her own freedom from one of America’s most famous founding fathers, George Washington. George and Martha Washington valued Ona as one of their most skilled and trustworthy slaves, but she would risk everything to achieve complete freedom. Born into slavery at Mount Vernon, Ona seized the opportunity to escape when she was brought to live in the President’s Mansion in Philadelphia. Ona fled to New Hampshire and started a new life. But the Washingtons wouldn’t give up easily. After her escape, Ona became the focus of a years-long manhunt, led by America’s first president. What do Frank Ocean, Sally Ride, George Takei, and Sharice Davids all have in common? They’re all proud LGBTQ Americans! Featuring people from a variety of occupations and backgrounds, this collection of 25 short biographies demonstrates the diversity, accomplishments, and pride within the American LGBTQ community. It’s the summer before high school, and thirteen-year-old Jorge Fuerte wants nothing more than to spend his days hanging out with his fellow comic-book- obsessed friends. But then everything changes. His parents announce they’re divorcing for a reason Jorge and his twin brother, Cesar, never saw coming—their larger-than-life dad comes out as transgender. Jorge struggles to understand the father he’s always admired, but Cesar refuses to have anything to do with him. As Jorge tries to find a way to stay true to the father he loves, a new girl moves into the neighborhood: cool, confident, quirky Zoey. She tames Jorge’s unruly terrier and enlists the terrier and Jorge in a dance routine for the back-to-school talent show. As the date of the show draws near, Jorge must face his fears and choose between being loyal to his brother or truthful about his family’s secret. Although he’s no superhero, Jorge already has the world’s greatest superpower— if he decides to use it.Next >
