INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

Un amor inquebrantable, excepto por la verdad. Lizzie Young siempre ha sentido que era demasiado en todos los sentidos. Diagnosticada con trastorno bipolar a una edad temprana, nunca ha encajado en su familia, con sus amigos ni en su comunidad. Lizzie quiere que la acepten y la entiendan, pero como cuenta con poca gente de su lado, ha llevado sola el peso de sus cargas y traumas. Cuando conoce a un chico atento en el autobús del instituto, parece que las cosas comienzan a mejorar por primera vez en su vida… Hugh Biggs tiene la madurez y la sabiduría de alguien mucho más mayor. Un joven con una mente aguda y un firme código ético que ve algo en Lizzie Young a lo que no se puede resistir. Quiere serlo todo para ella y ayudarla a sobrellevar su carga. Y Lizzie quiere lo mismo. El vínculo entre Lizzie y Hugh parece indestructible: tienen una química explosiva, su amor es intenso y su conexión, profunda, pero incluso el amor más verdadero puede verse afectado por fuerzas que escapan a su control.

Remember the sky you were born under, Know each of the star's stories. Remember the moon, know who she is. Remember the sun's birth at dawn, That is the strongest point of time. So begins the picture book adaptation of the renowned poem that encourages young readers to reflect on family, nature, and their heritage. In simple and direct language, Harjo, a member of the Mvskoke Nation, urges readers to pay close attention to who they are, the world they were born into, and how all inhabitants on earth are connected. Michaela Goade, drawing from her Tlingit culture, has created vivid illustrations that make the words come alive in an engaging and accessible way. This timeless poem paired with magnificent paintings makes for a picture book that is a true celebration of life and our human role within it.

It seems like Sage’s whole world is on fire the summer before she starts seventh grade. As house after house burns down, her Bushwick neighborhood gets referred to as “The Matchbox” in the local newspaper. And while Sage prefers to spend her time shooting hoops with the guys, she’s also still trying to figure out her place inside the circle of girls she’s known since childhood. A group that each day, feels further and further away from her. But it’s also the summer of Freddy, a new kid who truly gets Sage. Together, they reckon with the pain of missing the things that get left behind as time moves on, savor what’s good in the present, and buoy each other up in the face of destruction. And when the future comes, it is Sage’s memories of the past that show her the way forward. Remember Us speaks to the power of both letting go . . . and holding on.
