Magnolia Flower

As shown in Their Eyes Were Watching God, Magnolia Flower, and Sweat, Zora Neale Hurston’s poetic voice is second to none. Ibram X. Kendi’s adaptation of her 1925 short story into a children’s picture book is just beautiful!

Got a tween in your life? Empower them with this collection of badass fairytale heroines in space. Character driven, action packed, innovative, and emotional, Meyers' writing gets better with every book. (Not usually the case with a series) Recommend.

A gloriously illustrated music lesson for the littlest virtuosos in the making. The keyboard has color and shape coded instructions which make it a breeze to learn these 8-bar one-finger melodies. Beyond design, the true delight is the sound quality, which stands apart from other tinny sounding musicall toys.

When Addie Ramírez's stepfather offers to adopt her, she starts looking for the biodad she never knew. What she finds is an extended family of luchadores, and a new connection to her passion for wrestling.

A newly translated Miyazaki story! Shuna's Journey is a strange, almost grim adventure. In it can be found the thematic and visual roots of several Ghibli classics, especially Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Great for seasoned Ghibli fans and newcomers alike!

Make trips to the museum about more than the gift shop. An art history lesson for the whole family, SmART gives kids the foundational tools they need for seeing and thinking about the would around them. I wish I had it for my 19-year-old.

One of the most unique books I've ever read, one to be savored and felt at your core. Narrated by Death himself, The Book Thief offers a beautiful/heartbreaking picture of a German family's life during the Holocaust. If you adore exquisite figurative language and/or historical fiction from a child's perspective, this will not disappoint!!
Manasa
An amazing story about growing up, being awkward, making friends, and taking on the patriarchy! Kids can and should take action! (I'm also highly biased about the main character's name)
Hazel
Aideen has a lot of things in her life that she can't fix, but when she gets roped into fixing problems for her classmates, her life spirals in a new direction. She can't fix her own problems but she can fix theirs. Perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and YA rom-coms, touching on deeper issues alongside humor and sweet, well-earned queer romance.

Want a Thanksgiving story that respects Wampanoag traditions and has beautiful art? The good news is, you've found a stunning one. (There is no bad news). I had a blast learning Wôpanâak words with my kiddo when we read it together - I hope you do too!
