Storytime With Ms. Tee

Through the eyes of one little girl, All Different Now tells the story of the first Juneteenth, the day freedom finally came to the last of the slaves in the South. Since then, the observance of June 19 as African American Emancipation Day has spread across the United States and beyond. This stunning picture book includes notes from the author and illustrator, a timeline of important dates, and a glossary of relevant terms.

Told in Angela Johnson’s signature melodic style and brought to life by E.B. Lewis’s striking paintings, All Different Now is a joyous portrait of the dawn breaking on the darkest time in our nation’s history.

A comforting story about moving and finding a new home--with foil on the cover and the last spread!It's springtime, and Little Fox and Daddy Fox are visiting the animals of the forest to see their new homes. Mrs. Finch is building a new nest. The rabbit family is making new rabbit holes. And Mr. Mole is digging new tunnels.Little Fox is outgrowing their old den, and the Foxes will need a new home, too. Little Fox is glad that their new home will not be high in a tree, in a prickly bush, or in a cold wet stream. Little Fox realizes that the best home is snug and warm in a den . . . with Daddy Fox!

The best-selling Five Little Monkeys are getting into trouble yet again—this time while playing a classic game of hide-and-seek in this board book addition to the enormously popular series.

Mama’s out dancing, and Lulu, the babysitter, is in charge. The Five Little Monkeys are supposed to go to bed, but they convince Lulu there’s time for just one game of hide-and-seek first . . . and then another, and another . . . until they discover the ultimate hiding place.

Vibrant, expressive illustrations in Eileen Christelow’s signature style accompany a catchy rhyming text that’s great for reading aloud in this sturdy board book edition. The refrain invites children to join in; as Lulu counts to 10, 24, and finally 104, young listeners will count along with her. And what little monkey can resist the idea of mischief at bedtime?

Little Bear's mom is simply wonderful! She can string together the longest daisy chain, make the loudest echoes in a cave, and balance three apples on her nose. But the best thing she does in all the world is love her little cub!

How old were you the first time someone asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" A few lucky people understood their careers early on. Many of us, however, fell into a career by accident. It may have made us a living, but did it fulfill us or give us the life we desired. The jobs we stumbled on may have been due to the lack of understanding of all the opportunities that existed or access to those careers. Furthermore, we may have heard about the professions but did not know much about it to make a better choice.

There must be a better method than trial and error that harmonizes passion and the life they want when they grow up. What you set your mind to is powerful!

If you are a parent, grandparent, loving aunt or uncle, or family friend of a children, it is not too early to introduce them to various professions - especially those professions that are minimally occupied by diverse populations. Sometimes children want to be what they observe. Why not have them observe many different professions, learn more about them, and visualize themselves in those professions - so that they are better equipped to identify where their interest lies. If you are the parent, grandparent, or loving aunt or uncle of a child, what better gift than to give the aspiring leaders in your life the information to open their minds to vast opportunities and the impact that they have on the world.

This gorgeous, lyrical ode to loving who you are, respecting others, and being kind to one another comes from Empire actor and activist Grace Byers and talented newcomer artist Keturah A. Bobo.

We are all here for a purpose. We are more than enough. We just need to believe it.

Written by LeBron James, I  Promise is a lively and inspiring picture book that reminds us that tomorrow’s success starts with the promises we make to ourselves and our community today.
