A train journey in Romare Bearden’s childhood, inspired by one of his collage paintings

My Hands Sing the Blues Jeanne Walker Harvey Full-color illustrations by Elizabeth Zunon

Pub/Ship: September/August 1, 2011 978-0-7614-5810-4 10" x 10" • 40 pages Ages 5–8 $17.99 U.S. • $20.95 Canada JUV031040 JUVENILE FICTION / Performing Arts / Music Jeanne Walker Harvey lives in Ross, California. Elizabeth Zunon grew up in the Ivory Coast of West Africa and lives in Albany, New York. This is her first illustrated picture book.

s a young boy growing up in North Carolina, Romare Bearden listened to his great-grandmother’s Cherokee stories and heard the whistle of the train that took his people to the North—people who wanted to be free. When Romare boarded that same train, he watched out the window as the world whizzed by. Later he captured those scenes in a famous painting, Watching the Good Trains Go By. Using that painting as inspiration and creating a text influenced by the jazz that Bearden loved, Jeanne Walker Harvey describes the patchwork of daily southern life that Romare saw out the train’s window and the story of his arrival in shimmering New York City. Artists and critics today praise Bearden’s collages for their visual metaphors honoring his past, African American culture, and the human experience. Elizabeth Zunon’s illustrations of painted scenes blended with collage are a stirring tribute to a remarkable artist.

s a young girl in a small village in France, Joan prayed daily that France would be delivered from the English and Burgundian invaders who were ravishing the country. When Joan was thirteen, she had a life-changing experience. The archangel Michael appeared in a vision and told her that she would save the kingdom of France and lead the dauphin (heir to the throne) to Reims Cathedral to be crowned king. Calling herself the Maid of God, Joan set off to gather an army, win a number of crucial battles, and install the dauphin on the French throne. Although the king later deserted her when France’s enemies put her on trial for heresy and burned her at the stake, her bravery and faith inspired the French people and led them to victory. Demi has drawn Joan’s battles and triumphs with exquisite detail inspired by the stained glass, architecture, painting, and sculpture of the fifteenth century.

Diego: Bigger Than Life

licia Alonso’s artistic achievements are remarkable, considering that she became partially blind and lost her peripheral vision at age nineteen. From childhood, she exhibited a passion for dancing, studying first in Cuba and later in New York City, where she became an overnight sensation in Giselle and was promoted to principal dancer in Ballet Theater. Returning to Cuba in 1948, she founded her own company, which eventually folded due to lack of funding. In 1959 the Cuban government gave her enough money to establish a new dance school, Ballet Nacional de Cuba, which Alonso directs to this day. In elegant free verse and stunning artwork rendered in watercolor, colored pencils, and lithograph pencils on watercolor paper, Carmen T. Bernier-Grand and Raúl Colón capture the seminal events in Alonso’s life. The back matter includes a biography, Alonso’s ballets, choreography, and awards, a glossary, sources, notes, and websites.

“Where from, girl?” The bandit asked the question in the few words of Common he’d picked up. Rain’s eyes flew to his face as she realized she could understand him. “Holt,” she whispered. Her gaze strayed to the bodies piled around them. The bandits paid them no heed, far more interested in the spoils than the dead. “Never heard of it. On own?” “I’m with my cousin.” She put her hand to her mouth and bit hard to stop herself from screaming—she had just spotted Shadow. His body lay only a short distance from where she stood. His clothes were covered in blood and he was so very still she had to give up any hope that he had survived.

can Luke and other Native Alaskan teens survive?

y name is not easy. My name is hard like ocean ice grinding at the shore . . . Luke knows his Iñupiaq name is full of sounds white people can’t say. So he leaves it behind when he and his brothers are sent to boarding school hundreds of miles away from their Arctic village. At Sacred Heart School, students—Eskimo, Indian, White—line up on different sides of the cafeteria like there’s some kind of war going on. Here, speaking Iñupiaq—or any native language—is forbidden. And Father Mullen, whose fury is like a force of nature, is ready to slap down those who disobey. Luke struggles to survive at Sacred Heart. But he’s not the only one. There’s smart-aleck Amiq, a daring leader— if he doesn’t selfdestruct; Chickie, blond and freckled, a different kind of outsider; and small, quiet Junior, noticing everything and writing it all down. They each have their own story to tell. But once their separate stories come together, things at Sacred Heart School—and the wider world—will never be the same.

How could a person even breathe here? Back home, it doesn’t get dark so early in the day this time of year, either, which makes this place seem really wrong. Me and Bunna and Isaac are just standing here in front of the school, staring. This place doesn’t look anything at all like those schools in Life magazine. I can feel Mom’s voice, whispering deep down inside— Take care of your brothers — and right now all I want to do is grab my brothers and run.

Advance praise for My Name Is Not Easy: “An extraordinary tale of love, betrayal, and above all, survival. . . This is a novel that, like landscape, marks a reader’s soul forever.” —Ellen Levine, author of Freedom’s Children “We think of the Civil Rights Movement as something that happened in the South, but here is a book from the far North that shows a different, and equally important, side of it…The words soar off the page and then, beautifully, bring us home.” —Helen Frost, author of Crossing Stones “Haunting and deftly composed . . . With fierce love and first-hand knowledge, Edwardson brings beautiful, harrowing, courageous lives along the Arctic Ocean to readers.” —Howard Norman, author of What Is Left the Daughter “My Name Is Not Easy brought me to tears…This young adult novel evokes a time and place in the Alaska Native world that is important to remember.” —William L. Iggigruk Hensley, author of Fifty Miles from Tomorrow: A Memoir of Alaska and the Real People

Teen chef Linda must learn to accept other ideas about cooking and assimilate into her new, large, multiethnic family

Big trees loomed over three stories of the haunted-looking place. The house was tucked in close together with a bunch of other old houses. I missed the desert horizon I’d seen my whole life. I missed Aunt Elba. “Strange,” said the dad. “I know they’re expecting you.” We were standing on the porch. “SURPRISE!” It sounded like fifty people shouted it as the house’s lights came on, blinding me. The dad patted my shoulder. “Sorry. The usual zoo,” he said. All these people were shouting and laughing and coming toward me, and I took a step backward. That’s what I wished I could do for real: step backward into my family of two and my familiar life in Arizona. But I couldn’t. I was here. The WELCOME, LINDA banner now illuminated on the front porch made it clear that we weren’t at the wrong place.

Sizzle . . . or burn? inda Delgado has the best nose in all of Arizona—for cooking, that is. She may be only fourteen, but Linda loves making fresh Mexican food with her aunt Elba and blogging about food with her best friend, Julia. But after Aunt Elba suffers a ministroke, Linda is catapulted across the country and into a whole new life. In Pittsburgh, living with bossy Aunt Pat and her seven kids, Linda feels completely out of place. Worst of all, Aunt Pat is a local celebrity with her own TV show, Cooking from Cans—and she won’t let Linda in the kitchen. Linda might go loco if she doesn’t get some fresh food—like now.

Then Linda finally gets her chance to sizzle—alongside cute-guy-witha-secret Dino Moretti (who even smells delicious) and her jealous cousin Chloe. Linda’s new life is about to heat up fast.

A biography of the renowned architect that focuses on six of his signature buildings

I.M. Pei Architect of Time, Place, and Purpose Jill Rubalcaba Pub/Ship: October/September 1, 2011 978-0-7614-5973-6 11" x 81⁄2" • 128 pages 40+ B&W & full-color photographs Ages 12+ $23.99 U.S. • $26.95 Canada JUV004030 JUVENILE FICTION / Biographical / Other Jill Rubalcaba lives in Middletown, Connecticut. Her recent book, Every Bone Tells a Story: Hominin Discoveries, Deductions, and Debates, co-authored with Peter Robertshaw, was a finalist for the YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults.

ill Rubalcaba tells the conflict-ridden stories behind six of Pei’s most celebrated buildings, all turning points in Pei’s distinguished career: National Center for Atmospheric Research (Boulder, CO), John F. Kennedy Presidential Library (Boston, MA), National Gallery of Art, East Building (Washington, DC), Fragrant Hill Hotel (near Forbidden City, China), Louvre (Paris, France), and the Miho Museum (Japan). Each story, illustrated with drawings, architectural plans, and photographs, follows Pei on his journey—from his search for design inspiration, through the trials of construction, to the finished project. Although Pei claims that he does not have a stylistic signature, his buildings are identified by geometric form and minimalist beauty, an integral relationship with their natural surroundings, and a profound respect for the past while exceeding the needs of those who utilize them. His architectural sensibilities and achievements have made Pei one of the premier architects of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Pei once explained his approach as requiring “a full understanding of the three essential elements—time, place, purpose—to arrive at an ideal balance.” Pei’s awards, buildings, a timeline, notes, suggested reading, and websites are also included.
