Becoming a Crow Chief on the Reservation

by Nawuth Keat, with Martha E. Kendall

Nawuth’s story of survival and escape from the killing fields of Cambodia is also a message of hope; an inspiration to children whose worlds have been darkened by hardship and separation from loved ones.
“Medicine Crow’s straightforward style and gentle
humor make his recollections easy to read and hard
to forget, and they provide a cultural context and
understanding that is rare in books about American
Indians for middle readers.” — Booklist

Escaping Civil War in Sudan
by John Bul Dau and Martha Arual Akoch
with Michael S. Sweeney and K.M. Kostyal
One of thousands of children who fled strife in
southern Sudan, John Bul Dau survived hunger,
exhaustion, and violence. His wife, Martha, endured similar hardships. In this memorable
book, the two convey the best of African values
while relating searing accounts of famine and
war. There’s warmth as well, in their humorous
tales of adapting to American life. For its importance as a primary source, for its inclusion of the rarely told female perspective of Sudan’s lost children, for its celebration of human resilience, this is the perfect story to inform and
inspire young readers.
Note: Describes the author’s ritual circumcision, the coming-of-age ceremony of this culture.

“Hawass, director of excavations at the Giza pyramids and head of Egypt’s archaeological council….nimbly offers a solid summary, some of it necessarily

Big Enough by Becky Baines What’s in a Tail? by Becky Baines © 2009
© 2009
Max is upset because Mama Mirabelle won’t
let him play like big kids do. She reminds him
that he can do anything he wants—when he
is older. But Max decides he is big enough to
go on an elephant walk alone across the vast
savanna. When the sun sets and he is afraid,
Mama comes to his rescue.
Everyone is showing off the cool things their
tails can do. Flip, Chip, and Kip have cool tails
that can hold onto branches. Max’s tail is not
“spotty” like Bo’s is, nor “long and flippedy” like
Karla’s is. But as Mama teaches him, Max’s tail
turns out to be the greatest fly swatter on the
African savanna!

Unraveling Freedom
The Battle for Democracy on the Home Front During World War I
In 1915, the United States experienced the 9/11 of its time. A German torpedo sank the
Lusitania killing nearly 2,000 innocent passengers. The ensuing hysteria helped draw
the United States into World War I—the bitter, brutal conflict that became known as
the Great War and the War to End All Wars. But as U.S. troops fought to make the world
safe for democracy abroad, our own government eroded freedoms at home, especially
for German-Americans. Free speech was no longer an operating principle of American
democracy.

n the spring of 1775 tensions between Lord Dunmore and the citizens of
Williamsburg reached a breaking point. The governor said that he was “threatened

Liberty or Death The Surprising Story of Runaway Slaves Who
Sided with the British During the American Revolution
by Margaret Whitman Blair
Liberty or Death is the little-known story of the
American Revolution told from the perspectives
of the African-American slaves who fought on
the side of the British Royal Army in exchange
for a promise of freedom. Motivated by the 1775
proclamation by Virginia’s Royal Governor
that any slaves who took up arms on his behalf
would be granted their freedom, these men
fought bravely for a losing cause. Liberty or Death
is the inspiring story of the forgotten freedom
fighters of America’s Revolutionary War.
Mr. Lincoln’s High-Tech War
How the North Used the Telegraph, Railroads, Surveillance Balloons,
Ironclads, High-Powered Weapons, and More to Win the Civil War
by Thomas B. Allen and Roger MacBride Allen
Thomas B. Allen’s expertise in military history and strategy is combined
with Roger MacBride Allen’s knowledge of technology to reveal a lesserknown yet fascinating side of the 16th president of the United States.
Their authoritative narrative reveals Lincoln as our nation’s first hands-on
Commander-in-Chief, whose appreciation for the power of technology
plays a critical role in the North’s victory over the less developed South.

Secret Subway
The Fascinating Tale of an Amazing Feat of Engineering
by Martin W. Sandler
Between 1900 and 1904, a subway line was finally being built in New York City.
Workers extending that line cut into a preexisting subway station—a completed
tunnel, terminal, and even a decaying subway car. Where did this ghost of technology come from, and why had it been abandoned for nearly half a century?
Award-winning author Martin Sandler unearths the little known story of a New
York City visionary and a dream crushed by political jockeying during the days of
Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall. K
Spies of Mississippi The True Story of the Spy Network
that Tried to Destroy the Civil Rights Movement
by Rick Bowers
The Spies of Mississippi is a compelling story of how state spies tried to block
voting rights for African Americans during the Civil Rights era. This book sheds
new light on one of the most momentous periods in American history. Author
Rick Bowers has combed through primary-source
materials and interviewed surviving activists
named in once-secret files, as well as the writings
and oral histories of Mississippi civil rights leaders.
Readers get first-hand accounts of how neighbors
spied on neighbors, teachers spied on students,
ministers spied on churchgoers, and spies even
spied on spies. The Spies of Mississippi will inspire
readers with the stories of the brave citizens who
overcame the forces of white supremacy to usher in
a new era of hope and freedom—an age that has recently culminated in the election of Barack Obama.

Wheels of Change How Women Rode the Bicycle to Freedom
(with a few flat tires along the way)
by Sue Macy
Take a lively look at women’s history from aboard a bicycle, which granted females the freedom of mobility and helped empower
women’s liberation. Through vintage photographs,
advertisements, cartoons, and songs, Wheels of
Change transports young readers to bygone eras to
see how women used the bicycle to improve their
lives. Witty in tone and scrapbook-like in presentation, the book deftly covers early (and comical) objections, influence on fashion, and impact on social
change inspired by the bicycle, which, according to
Susan B. Anthony, “has done more to emancipate
women than anything else in the world.”

Apples for Everyone
Pilgrims of Plymouth
by Jill Esbaum ©2009
by Susan E. Goodman ©2001
Apples! The word conjures up images of fall: ripe red
apples falling off the tree as the leaves begin their
glorious extravaganza of color change; baskets of gathered fruits at the foot of laddered orchards; the rich
aroma of an apple pie cooling. As school starts again,
an apple for the teacher is a time-honored tradition.
What was it like to be a pilgrim child in 17th-century
Massachusetts? This charming picture book takes
young readers back in time to see. For one thing, pilgrim children didn't go to school. Instead, they helped
their parents with chores and played games such as
marbles. There were no convenient grocery stores.
Pilgrims had to hunt and gather food, then cook their
meals on an open fire or in an outdoor oven. Dramatic
photos of historical reenactments combine with
lively text to give today's children a vivid sense of
daily life in Plymouth colony.

Zigzag Series
The Zigzag series introduces science topics by encouraging children to
follow their natural curiosity. Readers encounter no dead ends. Large
“I-can-read” print combines with chalk-bordered photographs to pique
interest. Each text holds the child’s attention with humor, irreverence
and thought-provoking questions, right to the last spread where a Zigzag
path of adventure awaits. Each title introduces real science, real science
vocabulary, and uses the first principle of the scientific method, which is
to ask, answer, and ask again.

dishing up little-known facts (such as the existence of rooftop beehives in Brooklyn) in an appealing format. Matsen turns cold, hard facts into riveting reading
with apparent ease.” —School Library Journal
Home on the Moon Living on a Space Frontier
by Marianne J. Dyson
“Enhanced by plenty of big, clear photos and artists’ conceptions; four low-tech
science activities; and fact summaries about the Moon and the Apollo programs,
this title should not only be popular for reports, but it is also apt to inspire a yen in
more than a few young readers to walk where the astronauts walked.” —starred

Featuring intricate mazes that can be traced with a fingertip, they are ideal for repeated use by multiple readers.
A Maze Adventure:
Search for Pirate Treasure A Maze Adventure:
Secrets of the Pyramids A Maze Adventure:
Storming a Castle Ahoy, puzzle-loving
landlubbers! Our
young friend Tom
needs your help. His
family faces ruin after
his father’s trading
ship was attacked
by pirates who
plundered all their
worldly wealth. Now,
a new ship is ready to
chase down these evil
brigands, overpower
and capture them, and to regain the treasure. On
this voyage Tom needs shipmates just like you. Your
smarts will be needed to navigate the fun puzzles on
every page. Along the way, you’ll learn everything
about life on the high seas: from historical facts to
sea tides; from the problem of rats in the hold to the
choice of which foods are best for the long voyage
ahead. First, make your way to the harbor. Joining
the crew, you’ll have to find your way around the
galleon ship. When the pirates are finally engaged in
battle, your task will be to seek out the treasure map.
If you succeed, you will tackle the final puzzle, crack
the pirates’ code, and discover the treasure. Your
mission will be complete. But if you fail, you will be
at the mercy of these merciless mutineers.
A clever mix of
narrative adventure,
challenging mazes,
and authoritative
historical facts that
will hold the interest
of today’s kids! In
an ancient Egyptian
town, a friend’s father
is trapped inside the
Great Pyramid. To
reach him, readers
have to make their
way through secret tunnels and chambers, deciphering hieroglyphics, uncovering buried treasures, and
learning a lot about pyramid construction and life in
the age of the pharaohs.
Here’s an innovative
activity book that
combines fun and
learning! A friend’s
father is trapped in
the dungeon of a
medieval castle. The
digital style artwork
has a video-game feel
that will appeal to
kids, and all mazes are
finger traceable for
easy reuse.

Astonishing photography captures the full picture of consumption, documenting
all the diapers you wore as a baby, the bread you’ll eat in a lifetime, and the cans
you’ll recycle, based on national averages. Tying in with a National Geographic
Channel production, Human Footprint is colorful and fun—yet also manages to
be a powerful tool for kids to visualize the dimensions of consumption. 44 full-color cards • 3 1/2" x 5"
