Beacon Press White Fragility
Book SynopsisA reimagining of the best-selling book that gives young adults the tools to ask questions, engage in dialogue, challenge their ways of thinking, and take action to create a more racially just world. “I was taught to treat everyone the same.” “I don’t see color.” “My parents voted for Obama.” When white people have the opportunity to think and talk about race and racism, they more often than not don’t know how. In this adaptation of Dr. Robin DiAngelo’s best-selling book White Fragility, anti-racist educators Toni Graves Williamson and Ali Michael explain the concept of systemic racism to young adult readers and how to recognize it in themselves and the world around them. Along the way, Williamson and Michael provide tools for taking action to challenge systems of inequity and racism as they move into adulthood. Throughout the book, readers will find the following:

Beacon Press Queer History of the United States for Young
Book SynopsisNamed one of the Best Nonfiction Books of 2019 by School Library JournalQueer history didn’t start with Stonewall. This book explores how LGBTQ people have always been a part of our national identity, contributing to the country and culture for over 400 years.It is crucial for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer youth to know their history. But this history is not easy to find since it’s rarely taught in schools or commemorated in other ways. A Queer History of the United States for Young People corrects this and demonstrates that LGBTQ people have long been vital to shaping our understanding of what America is today.Through engrossing narratives, letters, drawings, poems, and more, the book encourages young readers, of all identities, to feel pride at the accomplishments of the LGBTQ people who came before them and to use history as a guide to the future. The stories he shares include those of* Indigeno

Rowman & Littlefield Subramanian M Bullying
Book SynopsisBullying is a widespread problem that affects thousands of teens across the United States and around the world. Victims of bullying battle depression, anxiety, insecurity, and fear. Sadly, some victims internalize their frustration by harming themselves or become bullies as well. But if young people agree that bullying is so devastating, why does it continue? Most importantly, how can it be stopped? In Bullying: The Ultimate Teen Guide, Mathangi Subramanian addresses these and other questions about a major issue for young adults and their families. Drawing on stories from young teens around the country, this volume uncovers the social pressures and individual choices that lead to violence. The author surveys effective state, local, and national anti-bullying policies and provides examples of teens throughout the nation whose leadership and courage have helped stop violence. This volume also contains exercises and strategies for young adults to employ that can pave the way for social acTrade ReviewWith almost half of all teens reporting that they have been bullied, and almost half reporting that they have been a bully themselves, there are few teenage issues more pertinent to address. After introducing such bullying basics as passive and active bullying, violence, power, and identity, this entry in the It Happened to Me series dedicates individual chapters to bullies, victims, and witnesses and explores what influences each group’s involvement in bullying. Subramanian then focuses on the various types—bias based bullying (targeting victims because of their ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc.), cyberbullying, sexual harassment, dating violence, and even adult bullying of students and children—and how each can be identified and prevented. The final chapters discuss how individuals can try to end bullying through actions and laws. Real-life profiles bring immediacy to the topic, while questionnaires, related literature, and lists of resources provide further connections. An approachable style makes this guide accessible for both research and personal needs. * Booklist *Well-voiced and supported with credible incidents, Subramanian’s guide speaks to the source and elimination of abusive situations. The text covers the subject objectively and calmly. Even advice on adult violators notes that predatory grownups assail youths out of anger, fear, and insecurity. Pictures enhance focal concepts, as with the handshake that illustrates allies on p. 197. Advice on texting reminds the reader that caution protects both sender and receiver. Analysis of complex concepts, particularly the passive bystander, relies on straightforward diction to account for failure to intervene to protect or rescue a victim. The author limits recommended readings to recent sources. The glossary amplifies definitions, explaining such hopeful social mechanisms as restorative justice and lever of change. This work should aid the parent, teacher, librarian, and school counselor as well as the vulnerable teen. * VOYA *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction Chapter 1: The Fundamentals Chapter 2: Bullies Chapter 3: Victims Chapter 4: Witnesses Chapter 5: Bias-Based Harassment Chapter 6: Cyberbullying Chapter 7: Sexual Harassment Chapter 8: Dating Violence Chapter 9: Adult Bullies Chapter 10: Creating Effective Anti-bullying Policy Chapter 11: Combating Bullying Together Recommended Reading Glossary About the Author

What on Earth Publishing Ltd The Illinois Chronicles
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewSTARRED REVIEW - “In honor of the Illinois bicentennial, this creative history launches the Chronicles series. Beautifully designed, the pages resemble spreads from a fictional Illinois newspaper and feature “articles” on events ranging from Illinois’ 1818 admittance to the Union to current plans for the state’s 2018 bicentennial celebration. Without trying to be a comprehensive history, the book highlights major events, such as Chicago’s World’s Fairs and the Cubs’ 2016 World Series win, and noteworthy local figures, including Jane Addams, Frank Lloyd Wright, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and Barack Obama…An elaborately detailed, impeccably organized time line follows the main text; printed on sturdy paper, this accordion-folded addition stretches eight pages, with the time line appearing on one side and an assortment of state facts, places to visit, and famous Illinoisans on the reverse. Significant curricular support is available for educators wishing to add this excellent resource to their classrooms.” * Booklist *

Book SynopsisDiscover the epic story of the dinosaurs, from their first appearance 230 million years ago through to their living descendants, the birds, today.Trade Review"An exciting purchase for libraries looking for high-interest nonfiction that covers both dinosaurs and career interests." * School Library Journal * "In this engaging launch to a series of books with fold-out timelines, Eric Eagle, senior librarian of the Eagle-Eyed Explorer Club, is tasked with taking an expedition into prehistory to explore and document dinosaur life. Forshaw, who has illustrated other What on Earth titles, works in an accessible style that blends naturalistic and cartoony details. Clad in classic explorer's attire, Eagle is whisked back in time where dinosaurs roam. Chapters focus on dinosaur identification, diversity, and extinction. Featured are Eagle's "Explorer Notes," made to resemble perforated notebook pages, and which feature his identifications of various dinosaurs, as well as insights into topics such as adaptation, dinosaur eggs, and profiles of dinosaur excavators throughout history. The six-foot-long timeline chronicles dinosaur life from the Triassic Period through our current Cenozoic Era. A strong choice for visual learners and information-seekers. Also available: Explorer: Bugs! Ages 7-11." * Publishers' Weekly * **SILVER HONOR - PARENTS' CHOICE AWARDS** "An excellent resource for dino-dedicated kids, this new title in What on Earth Publishing's fold-out timeline series explores the history of dinosaurs, from their emergence in the Triassic period 240 million years ago through their eventual extinction...A worthwhile, informative, and fun resource for young students and anyone intrigued by these mind-boggling creatures that once roamed this planet." * Parents' Choice Media & Toy Reviews *
