Being Home
November is Native American Heritage month, and Being Home, illustrated by Michaela Goade and written by Tracie Sorell, offers a heartfelt reminder of the importance to Native communities of family, tradition, and belonging. This exquisite picture book follows a young Cherokee girl and her mother on a journey — leaving...
Joyful Song
Susan Gal’s illustrations in Joyful Song: A Naming Story, written by Lesléa Newman, are full of vibrant colors — as well they should be. The book is a celebration of a new baby’s arrival, and of welcoming her into a family and a community — both of which are portrayed...
Dalmartian
Dalmartian: A Mars Rover Story, written and illustrated by Lucy Ruth Cummins, has the same setup as the film E.T.: a crew of alien botanists is interrupted while collecting samples, and in the rush to escape, one of their number is left behind. In this case, though, the aliens look...
Finding Things
Adrienne Pettinelli captured the heart of Kevin Henkes’s work in her Horn Book review of his picture book The World and Everything in It (May/June 2023): “Henkes’s strength is in the poetry of the everyday and finding the profound in ordinary moments.” Finding Things, written by Henkes and illustrated by...

Jump for Joy
Full disclosure: I am a dog person. My daughter, also a dog person, and a pediatrician, reports that the service dogs who visit her hospital are often the only remedy for her sick patients. I believe in dog joy. But the medal-worthiness of Jump for Joy, illustrated by Hadley Hooper...
Nothing
There are many classically trained musicians in my extended family, the most significant being two high school cellists who live with me. They are the reason I purchased a bigger car, with which I transport their two massive instruments in bulky hard cases, to private lessons, chamber groups, and youth...

Vivian Harsh, Chicago’s first Black librarian, curated an extensive collection of Black literature for the George Cleveland Hall Branch on Chicago's South Side. While Vivian Harsh was collecting Black literature for adults, Charlemae Hill...
