Abrams When Sue Found Sue
Book Synopsis “An exciting tale of dino discovery” (Kirkus Reviews), New York Times bestselling author Toni Buzzeo tells the true story of Sue Hendrickson’s historic find in the picture book When Sue Found Sue, illustrated by Diana Sudyka. From a very young age, Sue Hendrickson was meant to find things: lost coins, perfume bottles, even hidden treasure. Her endless curiosity eventually led to her career in diving and paleontology, where she would continue to find things big and small. In 1990, at a dig in South Dakota, Sue made her biggest discovery to date: Sue the T. rex, the largest and most complete T. rex skeleton ever unearthed. Named in Sue’s honor, Sue the T. rex would be placed on permanent exhibition at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.When Sue Found Sue inspires readers to take a closer look at the world around them and to never lose their brave, adventurous spirits.Trade ReviewAn exciting tale of dino discovery. * Kirkus Reviews ***STARRED REVIEW** "Buzzeo’s considerable storytelling skills zero in on fascinating details, such as the experience of unearthing fossils, while Sudyka’s entrancing illustrations reflect this attention to detail and the passion Sue brought to her work. Additionally, it’s refreshing to see a profile of a modern, female scientist, who is respected in her field." * Booklist *Dino fans craving anything about T. Rex need to know this chapter of paleontology and enjoy the gouache and watercolor art. * The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *This delightfully illustrated tale of discovery and wonderment works great as a research starter or supplement to paleontology, basic science, or museum studies . . . this book rewards passions for learning and passes those values on to its readers. A must-have. * School Library Journal *Readers . . . will be heartened by Hendrickson’s pursuit of her passions. * Publishers Weekly *

American Psychological Association Sewing the Rainbow A Story About Gilbert Baker
Book SynopsisThe story of Gilbert, creator of the rainbow flag which helped galvanize the gay rights movement in the 1970s and today.Trade Review5th-6th grade Finalist in 2019 Children’s Choice Book Awards 2019 ALA GLBT Round Table Rainbow Book List SelectionNCSS-CBC 2019 Notable Social Science Trade Book for Young PeopleNational Parenting Product Award Winner (NAPPA) “An enduring symbol of the LGBTQIAP+ community.” –Booklist “A colorful tribute to Gilbert Baker… creating the rainbow flag after a conversation with Harvey Milk. The art is beautiful and bright, transitioning powerfully from a subdued Kansan landscape to a flamboyant Bay Area…. It's clear this book has a lot of love for the flag's promise.” —Kirkus Reviews “The story of the rainbow flag is just as much Gilbert Baker’s story as it is the LGBTQ+ movement’s story. Dr. Gayle Pitman tells the story of a sensitive boy who loved art and grew up to unite the world. Holly Clifton-Brown’s colorful illustrations give us an apple-cheeked, sweet-faced boy who just wants to create; her artwork goes wonderfully hand-in-hand with Dr. Pitman’s prose to engender empathy in reader… This story pairs nicely with Rob Sanders and Steven Salerno’s book, Pride: The Story of Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag, which has a nice little cameo by a grown-up Gilbert. Sewing the Rainbow is a must-add to your biography collections.” —Mom Read It "I love how this story teaches us about Gilbert Baker and his legacy, but is also unapologetically direct about the importance of letting kids be themselves even if their personalities don’t fit into some kind of society approved gender-specific boxes. Personalities are meant to shine, not be squashed and molded into a form that we think is appropriate." —From the Inside "I am so happy to see a picture biography about Gilbert Baker and his legacy, which can at times become sidelined when when we focus on Harvey Milk in our queer history....I appreciate how paralleling the story of his creating the rainbow flag is his story of being free to be himself after childhood and early young adulthood experiences of peoples’ disapproval of him. This is, of course, what the flag represents. The story celebrates unity, in diversity, symbols, creativity and that we should never feel ashamed of letting our inner sparkle show. The illustrations are bright and colorful, perfect for the story. This is an important addition to your units on inclusion, tolerance and lgbt history."—Miss Marple's Musings
