"Roya has a new home and a new little bunny to take care of … Roya and her family have made the long journey from Afghanistan to the Netherlands. But Roya was too young then to remember much—and her older brothers and parents don’t really like to talk about it. It’s only when the family welcomes a new member—Mishka, a little bunny rabbit—that they are all finally able to open up. Together Roya and Mishka listen to big Bashir, gentle Hamayun, tough Navid, and sometimes even Mom and Dad tell their story of how they got here. This tender chapter book—based on Anoush Elman’s own family’s experience—is a story about being there for the ones you love, bunny escapes, and the meaning of home. Young readers and their families who welcome in Mishka will treasure it forever."
Anoush Elman , Edward Van De Vendel (Author), Dalia Ramahi (Narrator)

"Twins Bianca and Leila could not be more different from each other. Being both Argentinian and Iranian in a small town has always been hard, but with Leila shunning her heritage and Bianca embracing it, the two walk very different paths. They run in different circles of friends and barely talk anymore. Leila’s a homebody who loves to craft and plans on marrying her high school sweetheart. Bianca’s more antiestablishment and plans to get out of Dodge as soon as humanly possible. But on their eighteenth birthday, the neighbor’s barn mysteriously burns down. When Leila encounters a monster—a djinn—arising from the fire, suddenly she gains strange powers—and can no longer touch iron. What do these djinn want with Leila—or other people in town, for that matter? Can the twins learn to rely on each other—and their cultures—to banish them? It’ll take a sisterly reconciliation for the girls to find out and to save their hometown in this New Visions Award–winning fantasy adventure. “A gripping page-turner that perfectly blends sisterhood, magic, and self-discovery, Twin Flames is simply enchanting.”—Crystal Maldonado, author of The Fall of Whit Rivera"

The Great Banned-Books Bake Sale
"Upon learning that the books with kids who look like her have been banned by her school district, Kanzi descends into fear and helplessness. But her classmates support her, and together—with their teacher’s help—they hatch a plan to hold a bake sale and use the proceeds to buy diverse books to donate to libraries. The event is a big success: the entire school participates, and the local TV station covers it in the evening news. Prodded by her classmates to read the poem she has written, Kanzi starts softly but finds her voice. “You have banned important books, but you can’t ban my words,” she reads. “Books are for everyone.” The crowd chants “No banned books! No banned books!,” and the next week, the ban is reversed. Aya Khalil appends a note about how The Arabic Quilt was briefly banned from the York, Pennsylvania school system, and the backmatter also includes a recipe for baklawa, the Egyptian pastry that Kanzi prepares for the bake sale."

The Monkey Trial: John Scopes and the Battle over Teaching Evolution
"Revealing little-known facts about the fight to teach evolution in schools, this riveting account of the dramatic 1925 Scopes Trial (aka “the Monkey Trial”) speaks directly to today’s fights over what students learn, the tension between science and religion, the influence of the media on public debate, and the power of one individual to change history. Arrested? For teaching? John Scopes’s crime riveted the world, and crowds flocked to the trial of the man who dared to tell students about a forbidden topic—evolution. The year was 1925, and discussing Darwin’s theory of evolution was illegal in Tennessee classrooms. Lawyers wanted to challenge the law, and businessmen smelled opportunity. But no one imagined the firestorm the Scopes Trial would ignite—or the media circus that would follow. As reporters, souvenir-hawking vendors, angry protestors, and even real monkeys mobbed the courthouse, a breathless public followed the action live on national radio broadcasts. All were fascinated by the bitter duel between science and religion, an argument that boiled down to the question of who controls what students can learn—an issue that resonates to this day. Through evocative prose, Anita Sanchez vividly captures the passion, personalities, and pageantry of the infamous “Monkey Trial,” highlighting the quiet dignity of the teacher who stood up for his students’ right to learn.
