Different Just Like Me
"On Sunday night, April lies in bed, trying to sleep. She is excited. On Friday she and her mother will take a train to her grandmother's house. Almost a week is such a long time for a little girl to wait. But as April takes a bus ride, goes to the market, visits her father at work, and eats lunch at a diner, the days slip by. Everywhere she goes, there are people who are different sizes and shapes, and have different needs. At last it's Friday; April and her mom are on their way. At her grandmother's, April will see lots of flowers, each one as different as the people she has seen during the week. Featured on The Oprah Show, Lori Mitchell's gentle book teaches a wonderful lesson about appreciating individuality. Different Just Like Me is an American Book Association Kid's Pick of the Lists and was given the Director's Choice Award by Early Childhood News."

Day of Tears: A Novel in Dialogue
"As did his father before him, Pierce Butler treats his plantation slaves like family. But massive gambling debts force him to sell 429 'family' members. When the auction begins, torrential rain falls-not stopping until the final slave is sold the next day. The ominous rainfall prompts these words: 'This ain't rain. This is God's tears.' Based on the largest slave auction in U.S. history, this poignant montage is the fictionalized account of that 1859 Georgia tragedy. All the shrieks and groans, the betrayal and fury, the sorrow and regret are here in the stark, vivid monologues that pour from the souls of master and slave, auctioneer and observer during this 'Weeping Time.' Author of To Be a Slave -a New York Times and School Library Journal Best Book of the Year and Newbery Honor Book-Julius Lester garnered starred reviews from Booklist, School Library Journal, and Publisher's Weekly for his riveting Day of Tears. 'The horror of the auction and its aftermath is unforgettable; individuals whom the reader has come to know are handled like animals, wrenched from family, friends, and love.' -Booklist, starred review"
