We Are Water Protectors
Carole Lindstrom, illustrated (加插图) by Michaela Goade
Water is life! The Water Protectors at Standing Rock and beyond have been battling to defend Mother Earth’s sacred water to honor our ancestors, to provide for our peoples and for future generations. This picture book—seriously, it’s breathtaking—was written by Carole Lindstrom of the Turtle Mountain Band of Ojibwe and illustrated by Michaela Goade. (For ages 3 to 6)
All Because You Matter
Tami Charles, illustrated by Bryan Collier
From the matter of the universe to Black Lives Matter, this illustrated book pulls together the real universe to make it clear that its young readers are special beyond belief. Drawing inspiration from his own grandmother’s clothes-making, Bryan Collier pairs with Tami Charles to deliver an important message. (For ages 4 to 8)
Honeybee: The Busy Life of Apis Mellifera (意大利蜂)
Candace Fleming, illustrated by Eric Rohmann
A beautifully illustrated Apis mellifera presented in tasty oil paints cycles. Young readers get a front row seat to the natural world while vivid words introduce the anxiety leading to the bee’s first flight. Think each bee has just one job? Think again. Bees hold a variety of occupations during their short, lovely lives—and you thought you were busy! (For ages 6 to 9)
The Plain Janes
Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rugg
Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rugg’s children comic about four girl artists attracted readers when it was released in 2007. Now, in a reissue (再版) that includes the original tales along with a new story, Castellucci ages up her message. While the Janes’ lives have grown more complicated, Castellucci’s theme remains sincere and—in these trying times—something many of us struggle to keep in mind. (For ages 8 to 15)
