Book excerpt: For seven months, Manny Howard—a lifelong urbanite—woke up every morning and ventured into his eight-hundred-square-foot backyard to maintain the first farm in Flatbush, Brooklyn, in generations. His goal was simple: to subsist on what he could produce on this farm, and only this farm, for at least a month. The project came at a time in Manny’s life when he most needed it—even if his family, and especially his wife, seemingly did not. But a farmer’s life, he discovered—after a string of catastrophes, including a tornado, countless animal deaths (natural, accidental, and inflicted), and even a severed finger—is not an easy one. And it can be just as hard on those he shares it with. Manny’s James Beard Foundation Award–winning New York magazine cover story—the impetus for this project—began as an assessment of the locavore movement. We now think more about what we eat than ever before, buying organic for our health and local for the environment, often making those decisions into political statements in the process. My Empire of Dirt is a ground-level examination—trenchant, touching, and outrageous—of the cultural reflex to control one of the most elemental aspects of our lives: feeding ourselves. Unlike most foodies with a farm fetish, Manny didn’t put on overalls with much of a philosophy in mind, save a healthy dose of skepticism about some of the more doctrinaire tendencies of locavores. He did not set out to grow all of his own food because he thought it was the right thing to do or because he thought the rest of us should do the same. Rather, he did it because he was just crazy enough to want to find out how hard it would actually be to take on a challenge based on a radical interpretation of a trendy (if well-meaning) idea and see if he could rise to the occasion. A chronicle of the experiment that took slow-food to the extreme, My Empire of Dirt tells the story of one man’s struggle against environmental, familial, and agricultural chaos, and in the process asks us to consider what it really takes (and what it really means) to produce our own food. It’s one thing to know the farmer, it turns out—it’s another thing entirely to be the farmer. For most of us, farming is about food. For the farmer, and his family, it’s about work.

Book excerpt: This eye-opening picture book introduces readers to their five senses and to synesthesia—a condition in which one sense triggers another. For some people, sounds or tastes have colors. And for others, numbers and letters do. Many famous artists have been synesthetes, including Tori Amos, Duke Ellington, Jimi Hendrix, Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, John Mayer, Mozart, and Degas. Imagine that when you hear a bell you see silver or when a dog barks you see red. That’s what it’s like for Jillian—when she hears sounds she sees colors. At first the kids at school make fun of Jillian. Jillian worries about being different until her music teacher shows her that having synesthesia is an amazing thing. This lively, informative picture book makes synesthesia easy to understand and celebrates each person’s unique way of experiencing the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lately, seventh grader Nizhoni Begay has been able to detect monsters, like that man in the fancy suit who was in the bleachers at her basketball game. Turns out he's Mr. Charles, her dad's new boss at the oil and gas company, and he's alarmingly interested in Nizhoni and her brother, Mac, their Navajo heritage, and the legend of the Hero Twins. Nizhoni knows he's a threat, but her father won't believe her. When Dad disappears the next day, leaving behind a message that says "Run!", the siblings and Nizhoni's best friend, Davery, are thrust into a rescue mission that can only be accomplished with the help of Diné Holy People, all disguised as quirky characters. Their aid will come at a price: the kids must pass a series of trials in which it seems like nature itself is out to kill them. If Nizhoni, Mac, and Davery can reach the House of the Sun, they will be outfitted with what they need to defeat the ancient monsters Mr. Charles has unleashed. But it will take more than weapons for Nizhoni to become the hero she was destined to be . . . Timeless themes such as the importance of family and respect for the land resonate in this funny, fast-paced, and exciting quest adventure set in the American Southwest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pancho Rabbit and the Coyote is an allegorical picture book about the hardships and struggles of immigration from award-winning children’s book author and illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh. A Pura Belpré Author and Illustrator Honor Book! An ALA/ALSC Notable Children’s Book! Papa Rabbit left two years ago to travel far away north to find work in the great carrot and lettuce fields to earn money for his family. When Papa does not return home on the designated day, Pancho sets out to find him. He packs Papa’s favorite meal—mole, rice and beans, a heap of still-warm tortillas, and a jug full of fresh aguamiel—and heads north. Along the way, Pancho crosses a river, climbs a fence, and passes through a tunnel guarded by uniformed, bribe-taking snakes. He soon meets a coyote, who offers to help Pancho in exchange for some of Papa’s favorite foods. They travel together until the food is gone and the coyote decides he is still hungry . . . for Pancho! Tonatiuh enlivens Pancho’s story with the spirit of regional folklore, and he adds cultural atmosphere in arresting, flat folk art filled with cultural references. Of course, “coyote” has two meanings here. With tenderness and honesty, he brings to light the trials and tribulations facing families who seek to make better lives for themselves and their children by illegally crossing borders. “Incandescent, humane and terribly necessary.” ―Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review) “Pancho Rabbit’s trip has the feel of a classic fable or fairy tale.” ―Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

Book excerpt: From New York Times bestseller and Pulitzer Prize winner Junot Díaz comes a debut picture book about the magic of memory and the infinite power of the imagination. A 2019 Pura Belpré Honor Book for Illustration Every kid in Lola's school was from somewhere else. Hers was a school of faraway places. So when Lola's teacher asks the students to draw a picture of where their families immigrated from, all the kids are excited. Except Lola. She can't remember The Island—she left when she was just a baby. But with the help of her family and friends, and their memories—joyous, fantastical, heartbreaking, and frightening—Lola's imagination takes her on an extraordinary journey back to The Island. As she draws closer to the heart of her family's story, Lola comes to understand the truth of her abuela's words: “Just because you don't remember a place doesn't mean it's not in you.” Gloriously illustrated and lyrically written, Islandborn is a celebration of creativity, diversity, and our imagination's boundless ability to connect us—to our families, to our past and to ourselves.

The pets must navigate pesky mosquitoes, pollution, and even the fear of death. Didi and Groccolli are determined to create a true paradise, where no pet ever gets sick, grows old, or dies. “We want a place of happiness, peace, and love for everyone, forever,” Didi explains. Their ultimate goal is The Real Pet Paradise, a utopia where every pet and animal can live in perfect harmony. Pet Paradise is more than just a story; it’s a celebration of love, friendship, and the unbreakable bond between humans and their pets. Ahuruonye’s witty and poetic prose brings this surreal world to life, making it a joy for young readers. The book is filled with memorable quotes and highlights, such as: “In Pet Paradise, every wag of a tail and every purr is a symphony of joy.” “Happiness is a warm, furry friend by your side.” “Love knows no bounds, not even the boundaries of life and death.” Parents, this book is a must-have for your child’s bookshelf.

Book excerpt: "What if you could see your pets again, even after they die? If you could hug them, play with them, and love them forever, what would you be willing to give to make that happen? If there was a place where your pets could live happily, healthily, and peacefully with you and other animals, would you agree to go there? Well, that's what Didi, a clever engineer, dreamed of when she lost her beloved dog. She had a brilliant idea: to use a powerful computer program to resurrect dead pets and return them to life. She called her pet return to life program Pet Paradise. Didi created an AI supercomputer called Groccolli, a smart robot that could run and maintain the pet paradise. She gave him a mission: to bring back to life as many pets and animals as possible and to make them happy and healthy. Groccolli did his best, and he brought back to life many creatures, including monarch butterflies and praying mantises. The intelligent robot taught them how to talk, and he made them friends and families, as well as a home and a garden. However, Pet Paradise was not perfect. There were still problems that the pets and animals had to face, like blood-sucking mosquitoes, pollution, fear, and even death. Didi and Groccolli wanted to make Pet Paradise a proper paradise, where no pet or animal would ever get sick, grow old, or die. They wanted it to be a place of happiness, peace, and love for everyone, forever. Consequently, they worked on a new and improved program, a program that would make the place a real paradise, a program that would solve all the problems and a program that would make everyone happy, healthy, and immortal. They called it The Real Pet Paradise. The engineer and Groccolli hoped to someday take the pets and animals to this better environment; where no one would ever have to worry about anything again, never again had to say goodbye. They had everything they ever wanted, and more. They had a true paradise, and they had Didi and Groccolli. But there was one more thing they needed, one more thing that would make their paradise complete. Yes, they needed humans, humans who would adopt them, love them, and care for them; humans who would be their friends, their families, their companions. That's where you come in. Could you be one of those humans? Could you adopt one of those pets or animals? You can be their friend, their family, and their companion. All you have to do is read this book and find out how. This book will tell you the amazing story of Didi, Groccolli, and the pets and animals of Pet Paradise. It will show you the wonders of both Pet Paradise and The Real Pet Paradise. This book will inspire you to use your imagination and your dreams and to create your own happiness and love. It will make you think, and it will make you better. Pet Paradise is waiting for you; don't miss this chance to discover the mystery, the adventure and the fun, the beauty and the joy of Pet Paradise. Seize this chance to meet the amazing characters, the clever engineer, the smart robot, the monarch butterflies, the mantises, and many more; those who made Pet Paradise a dream come true.
