🎉Happy book birthday to these two new, wonderful reads!

📚NO BRAIN THE SAME by Lindsay H. Metcalf, Keila V. Dawson, and Jeanette Bradley. Illustrated by Jeanette Bradley. Through fourteen powerful poems, this book honors neurodivergent youth activists transforming their communities and invites kids to act.

📚LAST TO LEAVE by Teresa Richards. A must-read for murder-mystery fans! This fun novel follows seventeen-year-old up-and-coming video game streamer, Fallon, who earns a coveted spot in the new 1920s-themed murder-mystery reality game, SleuthIt. Her objective seems pretty straightforward: play the game, solve the mystery, and win the million-dollar prize. The fact that she’ll do it all on livestream with seven other young content creators only makes things better, but as secrets come out, the lines between ally and adversary blur.

Stories can’t erase hard feelings, but they can help kids feel seen. 💛
This thoughtfully chosen collection of 6 picture books opens the door to conversations about worry, frustration, sadness, fear, and more in ways children can truly understand.
