By the end of the day, Malik has a big pile of captured kites. He is the king! But then the bully reappears, trying to take a kite from a girl in the alley below. With a sudden act of kingly generosity, Malik finds the perfect way to help the girl. * #McBooksters #LiteracyAdvocate #SouthAsianAmericanAndPacificIslanderHeritageMonth #AsianAmericanAndPacificIslanderHeritageMonth #RepresentationMatters #DiverseChildrensBooks #India #Basant #KidsBookstagram #FairyTales #KidsLit #Diversity #Multiethnic #ChildrensLiterature #BooksForEveryone #Multiculturalism #ReadYourWorld #Bookstagram #BooksForChildrenOfColor

Marisol McDonald and the Monster / Marisol McDonald y el monstruo By Monica Brown and Illustrated by Sara Palacios * Marisol McDonald loves words that begin with the letter m—except the word monster. Monsters are scary, with big eyes, wild fur, pointy claws, and sharp teeth. One night, when Marisol hears loud bumps under her bed, she is immediately convinced that a monster is making the noise. Checking under the bed does not reveal a monster, but night after night, the bumps continue. When the bumps become especially loud one night, Marisol bravely leads the charge downstairs to find the cause. * Turns out the monster making noise under Marisol’s bed does have eyes and fur and teeth, but it isn’t scary at all. It’s her dog, Kitty, playing ball against the kitchen wall. * #McBooksters #LiteracyAdvocate #PeruvianScottishAmerican #Multiculturalism #BooksForEveryone #DiverseChildrenBooks #KidsLit #Multiethnic #RepresentationMatters #KidsBookstagram #ChildrensLiterature #Bookstagram #BooksForChildrenOfColor

You might remember me as the other girl from Kansas. When a tornado swept me away to the magical land of Oz, I was given a mission: Dorothy must die. That’s right, everyone’s favorite Wicked-Witch-slayer had let the magic of Oz corrupt her. She turned evil. So I killed her. * But just when we thought it was safe to start rebuilding the damaged land of Oz, we were betrayed. Now I’m following the Road of Yellow Brick as it helps me escape toward the mysterious land of Ev, where the Nome King rules a bleak and angry world. And what I’m about to find is shocking: My original mission may not have been successful. * I thought my job was over, but it’s only just beginning. And it’s up to me to foil Dorothy’s plans for revenge—and finally save the land I’ve come to love. * #McBooksters #LiteracyAdvocate #BookReleaseTuesday #DorothyMustDie #DMD #RepresentationMatters #DiverseChildrensLiterature #BooksForEveryone #Multicultural #KidsBookstagram #YA #KidsLit #Multiethnic #Bookstagram #ChildrensLiterature #IReadYA #BooksForChildrenOfColor

Who Was Maya Angelou? by Ellen Labrecque and illustrated by Dede Putra, Nancy Harrison * Born in Missouri in 1928, Maya Angelou had a difficult childhood. Jim Crow laws segregated blacks and whites in the South. Her family life was unstable at times. But much like her poem, "Still I Rise," Angelou was able to lift herself out of her situation and flourish. She moved to California and became the first black—and first female—streetcar operator before following her interest in dance. She became a professional performer in her twenties and toured the U.S. and Europe as an opera star and calypso dancer. But Angelou's writing became her defining talent. Her poems and books, including I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, brought her international acclaim. * #McBooksters #LiteracyAdvocate #DiverseChildrensBooks #BlackHistoryMonth #AmericanHistory #BooksForEveryone #KidsLit #KidsBookstagram #YA #PictureBooks #RepresentationMatters #MiddleGrade #Bookstagram #Multiculturalism #ChildrensLiterature #Multiethnic #BooksForChildrenOfColor

John Lewis in the Lead: A Story of the Civil Rights Movement By Jim Haskins, Kathleen Benson and Illustrated by Benny Andrews * How does an Alabama sharecropper's son grow up to help change his world? For John Lewis the journey began as a boy experiencing the injustice of segregation and the inspiring words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. * After high school Lewis joined with Dr. King and other civil rights leaders who believed in fighting segregation peacefully. From Nashville, Tennessee, to Selma and Montgomery, Alabama, Lewis was in the forefront of the major civil rights protests of the 1960s. In the face of physical attacks, he perservered with dignity and a devotion to nonviolence, helping southern black people gain the right to vote. Lewis continued his commitment to human rights with words and action from his home base in the South, straight to the nation's capital. In 1986 John Lewis was elected to represent Georgia in the United States Congress, where he continues to serve today. * #McBooksters #LiteracyAdvocate #BlackHistory #BHM #AmericanHistory #CivilRights #Multiethnic #KidsLit #Bookstagram #DiverseChildrensBooks #RepresentationMatters #BooksForEveryone #KidsBookstagram #ChildrensLiterature #DiverseChildrensBooks #Multiculturalism #Diversity #RaiseAReader #BooksForChildrenOfColor

Look Up!: Henrietta Leavitt, Pioneering Woman Astronomer by Robert Burleigh * Henrietta Swan Leavitt was born on July 4, 1868, and she changed the course of astronomy when she was just twenty-five years old. Henrietta spent years measuring star positions and sizes from photographs taken by the telescope at the Harvard College Observatory, where she worked. After Henrietta observed that certain stars had a fixed pattern to their changes, her discovery made it possible for astronomers to measure greater and greater distances—leading to our present understanding of the vast size of the universe. #McBooksters #LiteracyAdvocate #NationalWomensMonth #NWM #KidsLit #DiverseChildrensBooks #STEM #STEAM #Astronomy #Multiethnic #BooksForEveryone #Science #Stars #Constellations #KidsBookstagram #Multiculturalism #Bookstagram #ChildrensLiterature #BooksForChildrenOfColor

Ever since T’Shawn’s dad died, his mother has been struggling to keep the family afloat. So when he’s offered a spot on a prestigious diving team at the local private swim club, he knows that joining would only add another bill to the pile.

But T studies hard and never gets into trouble, so he thinks his mom might be willing to bear the cost… until he finds out that his older brother, Lamont, is getting released early from prison.

Luckily, T’Shawn is given a scholarship, and he can put all his frustration into diving practices. But when criminal activity increases in the neighborhood and people begin to suspect Lamont, T’Shawn begins to worry that maybe his brother hasn’t left his criminal past behind after all.

And he struggles to hold on to the hope that they can put the broken pieces of their damaged relationship back together.
