DESCRIPTION A church is a weighty thing, isn’t it? Its doors are heavy and hard to budge. Its walls are made of stone. And there may be strange or even scary pictures inside. How can a small person make sense of these intimidating places? Two-time Caldecott medalist Chris Raschka shares his mother’s wonderful way of visiting a church: what they would call saint spotting. Each visit to a church becomes an adventure, a trip through the stories that have shaped centuries of faith.

Playful and poignant, this beautifully illustrated book introduces readers to saints and symbols through the warm bond between a mother and son. From bookish Paul to faithful Mary Magdalene, from musical Cecilia to animalloving Francis, there’s a fascinating saint to discover in every corner.

AUTHOR Chris Raschka received the Caldecott Medal for The Hello, Goodbye Window (Hyperion) and most recently for A Ball for Daisy (Schwartz & Wade). His other books include Paul Writes (a Letter) (Eerdmans), The Death of the Hat (Candlewick), and the Caldecott Honor-winning Yo! Yes? (Scholastic). He has been hailed by Publishers Weekly as one of the most original illustrators working today, and he continues to create stories and art that appeal to readers of all ages. He lives with his family in New York City.

A Plan for the People Nelson Mandela's Hope for His Nation Written by Lindsey McDivitt Illustrated by Charly Palmer

DESCRIPTION As Nelson Mandela lived and worked under the unjust system of apartheid, his desire for freedom grew. South Africa separated people by races, oppressing the country’s non-white citizens with abusive laws and cruel restrictions. Every day filled Mandela with grief and anger. But he also had hope—hope for a nation that belonged to everyone who lived in it.

From his work with the African National Congress, to his imprisonment on Robben Island, to his extraordinary rise to the presidency, Nelson Mandela was a rallying force against injustice. This stirring biography explores Mandela’s long fight for equality and the courage that propelled him through decades of struggle. Illustrated in the bold, bright colors of South Africa, A Plan for the People captures the spirit of a leader beloved around the world.

DESCRIPTION A little boy can’t fall asleep, so he asks the animals how they do it. Will he doze off if he floats on his back like an otter? If he keeps one eye open like a duck? If he hangs upside down like a bat? Nothing seems to help, but all this trying is getting tiring…

This whimsically illustrated book features the real sleeping habits of ten different animals. Whether you snooze like a whale or nod off like a giraffe, Sleep Like Me is the perfect bedtime story for restless nights.

This is her first book published in the English language.

Niños Poems for the Lost MARCH

Children of Chile

Written by María José Ferrada Illustrated by María Elena Valdez Translated by Lawrence Schimel

SPECS • ISBN 978-0-8028-5567-1 • $18.99 / CAN $25.99 • Ages 7 & up • Picture book • 76 pages

• Hardcover, unjacketed • Full-color illustrations throughout

• Trim size: 61/2" x 87/8” • BISAC Code: JU038050

RIGHTS World English and unenhanced eBook rights; Alboroto Ediciones elsewhere Translated from Spanish by Lawrence Schimel

DESCRIPTION On September 11, 1973, a military coup plunged Chile into seventeen long years of dictatorial rule. Only the return of democracy could reveal the full horrors of Augusto Pinochet’s regime: 3,197 people dead or disappeared—including thirtyfour children under the age of fourteen.

This book is a stirring memorial to those victims and to the cost of extremism. Thirty-four poems—one for each child lost—consider the diverse hopes of these fragile young lives.

From Alicia to Jaime, Héctor to Paola, Soledad to Rafael, they were brave and creative, thoughtful and strong. In these pages, some children watch for the changing seasons. Some listen for new sounds on rainy afternoons. And some can’t wait for their next birthday.

Featuring gentle, emotive poems and soft, pastel-toned illustrations, Niños is an unforgettable tribute to the children of Pinochet’s Chile and all those threatened by political violence across the world.

The Story of Bodri

DESCRIPTION Hédi spends her days playing with her dog Bodri in the park, but her quiet world starts to crumble the day she hears Adolf Hitler on the radio. Germany’s leader hates her and her family, just because they are Jewish. And Hitler doesn’t even know them—it doesn’t make any sense. Soon Nazi Germany invades Hédi’s country, and her life changes forever.

Inspired by the author’s experiences, this book is a thoughtful introduction to the Holocaust for young readers. Strikingly honest prose and illustrations share an unforgettable story about a faithful dog, a family in danger, and the power of hope in unimaginable circumstances.

AUTHOR Hédi Fried is a Swedish-Hungarian author, psychologist, and public lecturer. As a teenager she experienced the horrors of the Holocaust in Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, and several work camps.

Today she speaks internationally on the dangers of racism and the value of democracy.

During one of Hédi’s lectures, a six-year-old asked what happened to the family dog, and the seed for The Story of Bodri was planted. Hédi’s previous books include The Road to Auschwitz (University of Nebraska Press) and Questions I Am Asked about the Holocaust (Scribe), which was named a USBBY Outstanding International Book. Visit her website at hedifried.se.
