grief and love in a complex exploration of how we hurt each other and how
buried traumas can cloud all. Seamlessly traversing from Lahore, Pakistan to
Juniper, California, Tahir has created a compelling cross-generational story
where characters are interconnected in their search for community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Enriched by gentle humor and evocative storytelling, Kelly
Barnhill’s The Ogress and the Orphans turns the tired fairy tale trope of
monster versus hero upside down. Its quietly precise language and sizable cast
of totally individual characters—including an eloquent flock of crows and a
narrator no one (except the reader) ever seems to hear—make every page a
delight. Best of all, the healing power of generosity is the central message of
this good-hearted fantasy.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;">In The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School, Sonora Reyes spins
a classic coming-of-age story with humor, specificity, and aching sincerity.
Sixteen-year-old Yamilet Flores walks us through the nuances of her social and
familial landscapes with wit and self-awareness, pierced by moments of
disarming earnestness. Her world is filled with layered, three-dimensional
characters, complex relationships, and genuine emotional growth. Reyes nimbly
balances lightness with depth; playful banter and romantic chaos exist
alongside rich explorations of religion, queerness, and cultural identity.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p>

Stand!: Raising my Fist for Justice</i> by Tommie
Smith, Derrick Barnes, Dawud Anyabwile</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Victory. Stand! Raising My Fist for Justice sets a new
standard for collaborative excellence. Vivid illustrations pair beautifully
with an evocative, triumphant tale. Starting the narrative with an injured
Smith wondering whether he had the “strength and speed to outrun a hail of
bullets” is the perfect, suspenseful pivot for flashbacks and the consequences
of Smith’s choice to merge the personal with the political. This is a
significant book of resilience and love blended with historical and
contemporary relevance.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">With humor, warmth, and deceptive simplicity, Maizy Chen’s
Last Chance offers a delectable story of food, family, and community that
deftly interweaves Maizy’s modern-day fight against racism with her ancestor’s
struggle to live under the Chinese Exclusion Act. Prickly relationships,
intergenerational tensions, intriguing mysteries, and deep love imbue Yee’s
poignant novel with the messy contradictions of real life while anchoring the
Chen family’s present within the enduring legacy of its past—and the history of
Chinese immigrants in America.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Hoodie Rosen’s life isn’t that bad. Sure, his entire
Orthodox Jewish community has just picked up and moved to the quiet, mostly
non-Jewish town of Tregaron, but Hoodie’s world hasn’t changed that much. He’s
got basketball to play, studies to avoid, and a supermarket full of delicious
kosher snacks to eat. The people of Tregaron aren’t happy that so many Orthodox
Jews are moving in at once, but that’s not Hoodie’s problem.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;">That is, until he meets and falls for Anna-Marie
Diaz-O’Leary—who happens to be the daughter of the obstinate mayor trying to
keep Hoodie’s community out of the town. And things only get more complicated
when Tregaron is struck by a series of antisemitic crimes that quickly escalate
to deadly violence.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;">As his community turns on him for siding with the enemy,

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Isaac Blum delivers a wry, witty debut novel about a deeply

exist side by side, Miuko is an ordinary girl resigned to a safe, if
uneventful, existence as an innkeeper’s daughter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;">But when Miuko is cursed and begins to transform into a
demon with a deadly touch, she embarks on a quest to reverse the curse and
return to her normal life. Aided by a thieving magpie spirit and continuously
thwarted by a demon prince, Miuko must outfox tricksters, escape demon hunters,
and negotiate with feral gods if she wants to make it home again.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;">With her transformation comes power and freedom she never
even dreamed of, and she’ll have to decide if saving her soul is worth trying

never did.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Enith Brigitha, home to the Mighty Manatees—until she’s stuck with the only
elective that fits her schedule, the dreaded Swim 101. The thought of swimming
makes Bree more than a little queasy, yet she’s forced to dive headfirst into
one of her greatest fears. Lucky for her, Etta, an elderly occupant of her

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;">New York City, 1922. Nicolás Caraveo, a 17-year-old
transgender boy from Wisconsin, has no interest in the city’s glamor. Going to
New York is all about establishing himself as a young professional, which could
set up his future—and his life as a man—and benefit his family.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;">Nick rents a small house in West Egg from his 18-year-old
cousin, Daisy Fabrega, who lives in fashionable East Egg near her wealthy
fiancé, Tom—and Nick is shocked to find that his cousin now goes by Daisy Fay,
has erased all signs of her Latine heritage, and now passes seamlessly as
white.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;">Nick’s neighbor in West Egg is a mysterious young man named
Jay Gatsby, whose castle-like mansion is the stage for parties so extravagant
that they both dazzle and terrify Nick. At one of these parties, Nick learns
that the spectacle is all meant to impress a girl from Jay’s past—Daisy. And he
learns something else: Jay is also transgender.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;">As Nick is pulled deeper into the glittery culture of
decadence, he spends more time with Jay, aiming to help his new friend
reconnect with his lost love. But Nick’s feelings grow more complicated when he
finds himself falling hard for Jay’s openness, idealism, and unfounded faith in
the American Dream.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #674ea7;"><i>Lotus Bloom and the Afro Revolution</i> by Sherri Winston</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;">Lotus Bloom just wants to express herself–with her violin,
her retro style, and her peaceful vibe, not to mention her fabulous hair.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;">This school year, Lotus is taking her talent and spirit to
the seventh grade at a new school of the arts. The one where she just might get
to play under the famous maestro, a violin virtuoso and conductor of the
orchestra. But Lotus’s best friend, Rebel, thinks Lotus should stay at their
school. Why should this fancy new school get all the funding and pull the
brightest kids out? Rebel wants Lotus to help her protest, but Lotus isn’t
sure. If she’s going to be in the spotlight, she’d rather it be for her music.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;">Then, when boys throw paper wads and airplanes into Lotus’s
afro, Lotus finds herself in trouble for a dress code violation. Lotus must
choose–should she stay quiet and risk her beloved hair, or put aside her
peaceful vibe and risk everything to fight back?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;">Inspired by real stories of Black girls fighting dress codes
that discriminate against their hair and culture, beloved author Sherri Winston
introduces a memorable character who finds her way to speak up for what’s
right, no matter what it takes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Every once in a while, I throw in an oldie-but-goodie for storytime that I am able to bring back to life. One that falls in that category for me is <i>The Three Billy Goats Gruff </i>by Paul Galdone. Using different voices back-and-forth, between the goats and the big ugly troll, keep the kids engaged the whole time. They are on the edge of their seats waiting to see how it will end! I recommend this read-aloud to anyone, especially if you are willing to use your big ugly troll voice! <div><br /></div><div>Fun fact about my storytime: I don't choose themes<i>. </i>Trying to find books just to fit into a theme can leave you with books that really aren't that great. Forcing a book into storytime just to fit a theme doesn't work well. So when I <i>do</i> have a theme, it's coincidence! </div><div><br /></div><div>The "theme" on this particular day happened to be goats. In addition to <i>The Three Billy Goats Gruff</i>, we read <i>The Greedy Goat </i>by Petr Hor<span face="Roboto, arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">á</span>cek. This one is plain silly, but presents an opportunity to talk about what <i>greedy </i>means.</div><div><div><br /></div><div>Enjoy a few photos of the goats we made:</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj23Xk_EdHzT_Bi_PTzknlcSnXcsVRTKYZqjDSbMiWXZM1d-pxUQX4hbKq6mG3loJQNZmer3I05xwtqDPzyzsl9eieTbM2bqj8Fo-jsODwmGJm2OSr_MCMKF0V0RF_cQdMizWs1MkUV2ZTobQB4Q5XGmu8ynxAX5RsGgess1XTvdtHJXBUbTLl6fvUk=s2000" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1428" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj23Xk_EdHzT_Bi_PTzknlcSnXcsVRTKYZqjDSbMiWXZM1d-pxUQX4hbKq6mG3loJQNZmer3I05xwtqDPzyzsl9eieTbM2bqj8Fo-jsODwmGJm2OSr_MCMKF0V0RF_cQdMizWs1MkUV2ZTobQB4Q5XGmu8ynxAX5RsGgess1XTvdtHJXBUbTLl6fvUk=w456-h640" width="456" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgu5exF3B1HcRoU3jpsLUvpAwrKeHyr2g0j9-Dzc44guQbem0mqyL-bRKPJR8YdMcW3FtaZT6rlStSezuA7L2eKoBZ507MaOzPzzZGqPqnj0l3KJFwkhvSNhl4SyIoBpqJaMMwtuTTeZkMqejjnMiYejbnHtqwMaeFLjXDwg3v8knKkU3fMynrZMbxU=s2047" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2047" data-original-width="1600" height="439" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgu5exF3B1HcRoU3jpsLUvpAwrKeHyr2g0j9-Dzc44guQbem0mqyL-bRKPJR8YdMcW3FtaZT6rlStSezuA7L2eKoBZ507MaOzPzzZGqPqnj0l3KJFwkhvSNhl4SyIoBpqJaMMwtuTTeZkMqejjnMiYejbnHtqwMaeFLjXDwg3v8knKkU3fMynrZMbxU=w343-h439" width="343" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiXdWDeN1c8L0yi-46VHC3a9ot5IAHX_p8Kznq0avUoVnQXh_Yss7KOmAY8Hh7NrcNkfVBewQRrlKiDCO2oxG490tJ-wkUQsO6JJH2Hecr9kistDQsDYEerdehp2O3iMcEz0uz_zQoftT2DfSudK3JW0jEZld9uhS2zfa0KQ9rBG07L7owt7JxWfzkr=s2560" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="2321" height="404" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiXdWDeN1c8L0yi-46VHC3a9ot5IAHX_p8Kznq0avUoVnQXh_Yss7KOmAY8Hh7NrcNkfVBewQRrlKiDCO2oxG490tJ-wkUQsO6JJH2Hecr9kistDQsDYEerdehp2O3iMcEz0uz_zQoftT2DfSudK3JW0jEZld9uhS2zfa0KQ9rBG07L7owt7JxWfzkr=w366-h404" width="366" /></a></div><br /><div><br /><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100004668147459189.post-38140779062775506292022-01-21T11:20:00.005-08:002022-01-28T11:01:24.738-08:001,000 Books Before Kindergarten<p>If you've read my last post (<a href="https://erinslibrarycorner.blogspot.com/2021/12/babies-and-books.html" target="_blank">Babies and Books</a>), you know the many benefits of reading to your baby. </p><p>Did you also know that the ability to learn language skills is greatest before the age of 6?

For children ages 2-5 years, they recommend a limit of 1 hour of screen time <i>or less</i> per day.</div><div><br /></div><div>These recommendations are all the more reason to turn to books instead of screens at such a young age.</div><div><br /></div><div>Of course we can't expect infants to read, but the benefits of <i>reading aloud to them </i>are endless, and in fact, begin from the very day they are born!</div><div><br /></div><div>Here are some benefits of reading aloud to your baby:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>Learning language skills</b></span> - Reading introduces babies to more and complex language than what they hear in everyday conversation.</li><li><span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>Bonding</b></span> - Reading together provides the feeling of safety, love, and emotional connection.</li><li><span><b><span style="color: #674ea7;">Emotional learning</span></b> </span>- In addition to babies looking at the pictures on a page, they observe your facial expressions when the character is sad or happy, etc.</li><li><span><b><span style="color: #674ea7;">Establishing routines</span></b> </span>- Routines are a necessary part of a child's day and incorporating reading into the schedule can let them know, for example, that it's time for bed.</li><li><span><b><span style="color: #674ea7;">School success</span></b> </span>- About one third of those who start kindergarten do not have the language skills they need in order to learn to read. Reading to your baby is one huge way to set them up for success in school.</li></ul></div><div>This list was taken from the Cleveland Clinic ("The Benefits of Reading to Babies"). They also go on to explain how and what to read to a baby, which include:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #ff6a00;"><b>Reading to them daily</b></span> - Whether it's a few minutes at a time throughout the day or one long reading session, try to read to your baby every single day!</li><li><span style="color: #ff6200;"><b>Follow their lead</b> </span>- Finishing the story doesn't have to be the goal. If your baby wants to look at the same page repeatedly, let them! Allow them to point to the pictures. Talk about what's on that page!</li><li><span style="color: #ff6200;"><b>Don't expect perfection</b> </span>- As your child gets older and more wiggly, they might not sit still to hear a story, however, they can still benefit from hearing you reading to them.</li><li><span style="color: #ff6200;"><b>Let them explore</b> </span>- If your baby wants to hold the book and it's upside down, that's perfectly okay. Let them explore the book in their hands.</li><li><span style="color: #ff6200;"><b>Pick the right books</b></span> - Board books are appropriate for babies because they don't have pages made of paper that can tear. These books are sturdy and have bright colors.</li><li><span style="color: #ff6200;"><b>Talk about it</b></span> - Ask questions about what you see in the pictures. Talk to your baby about what is happening on the page. You don't need to limit yourself to read only the text.</li><li><b><span style="color: #ff6200;">Get ready to repeat yourself</span> </b>- Children often want to hear the same story over and over again. Repetition is how they learn!</li><li><span style="color: #ff6200;"><b>Keep it going</b></span> - Once your little one is not a baby anymore, they will be able to read words on their own! When they are school aged, you and them can take turns reading aloud, back and forth, to each other. Soon enough, they will be reading independently and on their own.</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div>So ...the next time you walk past those board books on the shelves and think, "My baby is too young for books," Think again!</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>It is never too early to begin reading to your child!</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Here are a few of my board book picks from our shelf at the library (titles and authors are listed below):</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgNwQFtuF1WfQ1nrwK78bt5-N8IF_fvK5NuDJy0D8lax6P_8OqdAo8bMXpCyVZ6qKBiKhKV1nAF0_XdefSPpMT7uSxT7JotGdgqTkbx4l5wjeArFYzOhExy4JGxlVEpZsJ_YACs8WAxAsDWvc2SLuT_gDdZfQ2cZ4HtYG420gs_ZKIUKJzurkrqecZ0=s1200" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgNwQFtuF1WfQ1nrwK78bt5-N8IF_fvK5NuDJy0D8lax6P_8OqdAo8bMXpCyVZ6qKBiKhKV1nAF0_XdefSPpMT7uSxT7JotGdgqTkbx4l5wjeArFYzOhExy4JGxlVEpZsJ_YACs8WAxAsDWvc2SLuT_gDdZfQ2cZ4HtYG420gs_ZKIUKJzurkrqecZ0=s16000" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><span><span><i>Off to the Park</i> by Stephen Cheetham</span></span></div><div><span><span><i>Stir Crack Whisk Bake</i> by Maddie Frost</span></span></div><div><span><span><i>A Pile of Leaves</i> by Tamara Shopsin</span></span></div><div><span><span><i>Who's Hiding in the Woods?</i> by Katharine McEwen</span></span></div><div><span><span><i>We Love Each Other</i> by Yusuke Yonezu</span></span></div><div><span><span><i>Hello, World!

text-align: left;">Before elementary school, my mother would bring my sister and me to our local public library for storytime. It was a special time, for sure. When we went off to school, we had THE best librarian. I still remember the enthusiasm she had when reading aloud. I remember what the space looked like (at both libraries). I still remember the names of both of those librarians and am grateful for the magic they shared with us through books.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now, as a youth services librarian, I use some of that inspiration to bring the same magic to my own storytimes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">While I am not in my Super Reader costume everyday, I'd like to spread the message that reading is a superpower. For our babies and toddlers who are not able to read yet, they soon will learn. Until then, we can help them use their listening ears and looking eyes to enjoy many books.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh9QHE8Spg9V2wEatadH8cwbxAlTP6DKoFurcm9DxOe_r9f_3wdRfGZqbGqKVsU-wHzcLTsiMOw5H8WhwMxL9v7yJnHYgNOvA30RKLTTyiiySfwz7JY03HjTFmBdUXeqnTehgZDRMLgQOvkJMDwWajjqvH9oM72e9oaI_D5KtC-Y4j4ClgTCGJkymDY=s607" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="607" data-original-width="368" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh9QHE8Spg9V2wEatadH8cwbxAlTP6DKoFurcm9DxOe_r9f_3wdRfGZqbGqKVsU-wHzcLTsiMOw5H8WhwMxL9v7yJnHYgNOvA30RKLTTyiiySfwz7JY03HjTFmBdUXeqnTehgZDRMLgQOvkJMDwWajjqvH9oM72e9oaI_D5KtC-Y4j4ClgTCGJkymDY=w275-h454" width="275" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2
