Go Forth and Tell: The Life of Augusta Baker, Librarian and Master Storyteller

"From an award-winning author comes this biography about beloved librarian and storyteller Augusta Braxton Baker, the first Black coordinator of children's services at all branches of the New York Public Library. Before Augusta Braxton Baker became a storyteller, she was an excellent story listener. Her grandmother brought stories like Br'er Rabbit and Arthur and Excalibur to life, teaching young Augusta that when there's a will, there's always a way. When she grew up, Mrs. Baker began telling her own fantastical stories to children at the 135th Street branch of the New York Public Library in Harlem. But she noticed that there were hardly any books at the library featuring Black people in respectful, uplifting ways. Thus began her journey of championing books, writers, librarians, and teachers centering Black stories, educating and inspiring future acclaimed authors like Audre Lorde and James Baldwin along the way. As Mrs. Baker herself put it: "Children of all ages want to hear stories. Select well, prepare well and then go forth and just tell.""

One Real American: The Life of Ely S. Parker, Seneca Sachem and Civil War General

"When North and South met in 1865 at Appomattox Court House to end the Civil War, the official terms of surrender weren’t written in the hand of Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, or any white soldier. Instead, this momentous event was recorded by General Ely S. Parker, a member of the Seneca (Iroquois) tribe. At that time, Parker was not only the highest-ranking Native American in the Union Army but also the Grand Sachem, or chief representative, of the Haudenosaunee—the powerful Iroquois Confederacy. Though little known today, Ely S. Parker (1828–1895) achieved great success in many roles: diplomat, general, engineer, law student, and chief. From negotiating to retain reservation lands to acting as President Grant’s Commissioner of Indian Affairs—the first Native American to hold that post—Parker worked alongside both tribal and federal governments. Though criticized by some of his people for his rise in white society, Parker advocated for Native Americans across the country in the face of discrimination at every step—seen by some as a traitor, but to others a hero. This expertly researched, masterfully written biography offers a unique and historical perspective. From award-winning children’s book author and Native American scholar Joseph Bruchac comes the fascinating story of a man who walked in two very different worlds, forever caught between them."

Unstuck

"Lyla is thrilled when her seventh-grade ELA class begins a daily creative writing project. For the past year she’s been writing a brilliant fantasy novel in her head, and here’s her chance to get it on paper! The plot is super complicated, with battle scenes and witches, although basically it’s a semi-autobiographical story about an overlooked girl who has to rescue her beautiful, highly accomplished older sister. But writing a fantasy novel turns out to be harder than simply imagining one, and Lyla finds herself stuck, experiencing what she realizes is writer’s block. Part of the problem is that she’s trying to impress certain people—like Rania, her best friend who’s pulling away, and Ms. Bowman, the coolest teacher at school. Plus, there’s the pressure of meeting the deadline for the town writing contest, where Lyla is determined to win first prize. When Lyla shares her writing problems with her superstar older sister, Dahlia, she learns Dahlia’s big secret, which is causing a very different type of writer’s block. Can Lyla rescue her surprisingly vulnerable sister, both on the page and in real life? Award-winning author Barbara Dee returns with a novel about creativity, friendship, family—and how to find the words you need most. “For years now, Barbara Dee has written one exceptional novel after another. Unstuck may be her best yet. Lyla’s story is at once unique and universal, and readers will finish the book feeling inspired and empowered to take control of,and share, their stories.”—Jarrett Lerner, author of A Work in Progress A Junior Library Guild Selection"
