"Dolly Parton is a little girl with a great big voice. She loves singing for her corncob doll and friends at church. Music fills her heart so plumb full that young Dolly starts writing her own tunes. Unable to afford a guitar, she strings up a broken
mandolin and plays for anyone she can corral—ducks, pigs, and her squallin’ brothers and sisters. But Dolly longs for a real live audience to see and hear her perform.
When Dolly gets her first big break, she’s scared to perform in front of hundreds of people. Will she summon up her courage and step out onto the Grand Ole Opry stage in Nashville?
Take a seat and join the audience to meet the dazzlin’ Dolly Parton!"
"Mary Sherman Morgan grew up loving science, especially chemistry, and was determined to pursue a career that would ignite that passion. But it wasn't easy.
People thought only men could be scientists. Never giving up or giving in, Mary broke barriers and became America's first female rocket scientist. It was Mary Sherman Morgan who developed the fuel that launched the first US satellite into space.
Suzanne Slade, an author as well as an engineer who worked on rockets, pays tribute to this little-known innovator by deeply rooting her story in symbols, numbers, and equations. Hers is a story that will blast off into the hearts of budding scientists."
"This clever and thought-provoking story demonstrates that there's more than one way to think about someone who might seem "different" at first glance.
It isn't
easy to say hi to someone new,
is it?
Told from the perspective of a student, The New Kid Welcome (or Welcome the New Kid when flipped) presents listeners with two versions of what happens when a 'new kid' joins the protagonist's school.
In the first half of the book, the student tells us that they don't want to be nice to the new kid or welcome them into their group simply because they seem different. In the second half, the same lines of the story are placed in reverse order. When heard this way, the student encourages us to say hello to someone new, saying they will share their table and snacks.
With a simple flip of the story, feelings of intolerance give way to those of inclusion and kindness. Precise, thoughtful text create a perfect tool for promoting acceptance and a kinder world.
After all...
It is
easy to say hi to someone new,
isn't it?"
"The inspiring true story of mathematician Katherine Johnson--made famous by the award-winning film Hidden Figures--who counted and computed her way to NASA and helped put a man on the moon!
Katherine knew it was wrong that African Americans didn't have the same rights as others--as wrong as 5+5=12. She knew it was wrong that people thought women could only be teachers or nurses--as wrong as 10-5=3. And she proved everyone wrong by zooming ahead of her classmates, starting college at fifteen, and eventually joining NASA, where her calculations helped pioneer America's first manned flight into space, its first manned orbit of Earth, and the world's first trip to the moon!
Award-winning author Suzanne Slade and debut artist Veronica Miller Jamison tell the story of a NASA 'computer' in this smartly written, charmingly illustrated biography."
"No one thought Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass would ever become friends. The former slave and the outspoken woman came from two different worlds. But they shared deep-seated beliefs in equality and the need to fight for it. Despite naysayers, hecklers, and even arsonists, Susan and Frederick became fast friends and worked together to change America."
