Chronicle Books Always Emily
Book SynopsisEmily and Charlotte Brontë are about as opposite as two sisters can be. Charlotte is practical and cautious; Emily is headstrong and imaginative. But they do have one thing in common: a love of writing. This shared passion will lead them to be two of the first published female novelists and authors of several enduring works of classic literature. But they''re not there yet. First, they have to figure out if there is a connection between a string of local burglaries, rumors that a neighbor''s death may not have been accidental, and the appearance on the moors of a mysterious and handsome stranger.

Chronicle Books Comet Chaser
Book Synopsis The real-life Cinderella story of the very first professional woman astronomer-Caroline Herschel!Comet Chaser is the thrilling and beautifully illustrated biography of a woman who made a lifetime of incredible contributions to science.

Union Square & Co. Free at Last
Book SynopsisThis lyrical celebration of Juneteenth, deeply rooted in Black American history, spans centuries and reverberates loudly and proudly today. After 300 years of forced bondage;hands bound, descendants of Africapicked up their soulsâall that they ownedâleaving shackles where they fell on the ground,headed for the nearest resting place to be found. Deeply emotional, evocative free verse by poet and activist Sojourner Kincaid Rolle traces the solemnity and celebration of Juneteenth from its 1865 origins in Galveston, Texas to contemporary observances all over the United States. This is an ode to the strength of Black Americans and a call to remember and honor a holiday whose importance reverberates far beyond the borders of Texas.Trade Review“The soulful illustrations in a muted palette align seamlessly, portraying events in a dignified, momentous style....These lyrical verses are perfect for reading out loud.” — Booklist, starred review “A noteworthy tribute to Juneteenth... A profound memorial to the suffering, strength, and stories of Black Americans.” — Kirkus Reviews “Each stanza is paired with gorgeous and warm artwork that complements the text... a worthy purchase.” — School Library Journal “This is a book that needs to be on the shelf of every library." — School Library Connection “A largely earth-toned color palette distinguishes Bostic’s art, which tenderly portrays brown-skinned characters’ detailed facial expressions across environments and generations. Together, the creators emphasize the value of freedom embodied by the ‘symbolic holiday.’” — Publishers Weekly “Sojourner Kincaid Rolle powerfully articulates the history of Juneteenth” — PBS “Moving Illustrations by Bostic.” —The Boston Globe “An honorable tribute to the legacy of the Juneteenth holiday.... In this book, illustrations are as powerful as words.” — Parents “[T]his lyrical book is a perfect read-aloud.” — SheKnows “Bostic’s warm oil painting illustrations are stunning. The entire book is a work of art.” — Book Riot “Sure to become a new family favorite.” — The Root “A lyrical ode to the strength of African Americans, Sojourner Kincaid Rolle’s poem-turned-book captures the essence of enslaved people who persevered and whose legacies continue today.” —Woman's Day
