WHEN MARIAN SANG By PamMuñoz Ryan Illustrated by Brian Selznick
LAND OF THE CRANES By Aida Salazar
THE MOONWITHIN By Aida Salazar Celi Rivera’s life swirls with questions. About her changing body. Her first attraction to a boy. Her best friend’s exploration of what it means to be gender-fluid. But most of all, her mother’s insistence she have an ancestral Mexica moon ceremony when her first period arrives.
MAÑANALAND By PamMuñoz Ryan In this entrancing story of courage and self-discovery, Max uncovers a buried family secret involving an underground network of guardians who lead people fleeing a neighboring country to safety. A timeless tale of struggle, hope, and the search for tomorrow that has much to offer today about compassion and our shared humanity.
A heart-wrenchingly beautiful story in verse of a young Latinx girl who learns to hold on to hope and love even in the darkest of places: a family detention center for migrants and refugees.
Marian Anderson is best known for her historic concert at the Lincoln Memorial in 1939, which drew an integrated crowd of 75,000 people in pre–civil rights America. Like Marian’s operatic arias, Ryan’s text is as moving as a libretto, and Selznick’s pictures as exquisitely detailed and elaborately designed as a stage set.
