Now it's seventh grade, and they're part of an experiment where kids will go on a long bus ride to integrate a new school in a black neighborhood. Maybe there the three girls can finally fit in.<br /><br />But Francesca's parents put her in private school. And Jamila and Josie discover that they're not even in the same classes.<br /><br />How do they find their place in a school divided between black and white? And what about the boys wanting to be friends--and maybe more?

Margaret had a boundless imagination and a gift for spinning stories. Most grown-ups thought children’s books were frivolous and silly, but Margaret didn’t agree. Could writing stories for children be important work—a incredible way to share truth, beauty, and wonder?<br /><br />Other people might call Margaret strange, and sometimes her own worries and doubts felt overwhelming. But only Margaret and her original ideas could lead to Goodnight Moon, The Runaway Bunny, and other classics beloved by children around the world. <br /><br />From smuggling rabbits onto trains, to scribbling stories about island whispers, Margaret embraced adventure in life and on the page. This whimsically illustrated biography shares how an independent, fun-loving woman became a trailblazing pioneer of the picture-book form.</span><br /><div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Congratulations Katy K., you are our latest Win it Wednesday winner!</i></b></span></p><p></p></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08250773834365066363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764549538920959922.post-88777413832879724092024-03-01T16:05:00.000-08:002024-03-01T16:09:21.986-08:00Read Across America: March<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><img border="0" src="https://www.nea.org/sites/default/files/styles/200wide/public/2021-01/FNL%20RAA_LOGO_Blue.png?itok=tfI5Lpz5" style="text-align: center;" /></span></p><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span>Every Month, NEA's <a href="https://www.nea.org/professional-excellence/student-engagement/read-across-america/2023-2024-calendar/december-2023">Read Across America</a> highlights books for young readers that explore a topic related to diversity and inclusion.<br /><br />The theme for March is <a href="https://www.nea.org/professional-excellence/student-engagement/read-across-america/2023-2024-calendar/march-2024" target="_blank">Celebrate Diversity</a>. </span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;">Understand the perspectives of others to broaden our own and to fully experience and educate ourselves.</span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Here are the recommended books for the month.

Before Tess leaves, Miss Ackerbee gives her a strange lens, and makes an even stranger admission: that Tess can travel to parallel worlds, and has been able to do so since she was found as a baby. Now, with her newfound abilities and the mysterious lens in tow, Tess must navigate life with Mr. Cleat and his nefarious housekeeper, who seem to be up to more than they let on. As Tess learns about the lens and its role in transporting her to other worlds, she discovers that behind Mr. Cleat's oily smiles is a darker intention: one that could bring the world to its feet. Can Tess keep her secret from Mr. Cleat, and figure out what he's up to? And what if the lens falls into the wrong hands? With the help of Violet and her friends from the orphanage, Tess can finally discover the truth about Mr. Cleat and, more importantly, herself.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 257.25pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Congratulations Ezrah R., you are our Win it Wednesday winner!</i></b></span></p><p></p>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08250773834365066363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764549538920959922.post-65395428352399512522024-02-21T06:00:00.000-08:002024-02-26T09:24:59.937-08:00Win it Wednesday: Vanishing Colors<p><i>Every Wednesday we will give away a new book.

Through a series of escalating events―told as high-action comic panel sequences―the brothers conspire to undermine Ms. Joyce and get her fired.
