You Are Not Alone Alphabet Rockers, illustrated by Ashley Evans
From the Grammy award-nominated hiphop group Alphabet Rockers comes an empowering picture book that invites kids to love themselves, stand up to hate, and foster inclusivity among their peers! • Incredible brand that celebrates diversity: The Alphabet Rockers’ mission is to curate content that encourages kids to stand up to hate, to embrace Black liberation, Queer liberation, Indigenous rights, immigrant rights, and intersectionality, and to understand that they are loved and never truly alone • Award-winning group: The Alphabet Rockers’ music and lyrics have been highly acclaimed, earning them many awards and honors including two Grammy nominations, ALA’s Top Album three years in a row, and a Parent’s Choice Award • Vetted material: The music, lyrics, curriculum, and concerts this book draws from are reviewed by an intercultural team of anti-bias thought leaders, educators, artists, parents, and young people of all genders
When I say something is unfair to me, but it’s fair for you, what does that make it? When I meditate, it all gets clear. And if you listen, you will really hear. I am not alone. I am enough.
ALPHABET ROCKERS make music that makes change, creating brave spaces for children and families to stand up to hate and be their courageous, beautiful selves. Led by Kaitlin McGaw (she/her) and Tommy Shepherd (he/him/they), Alphabet Rockers gets young people to talk about self-love and justice while living it. Their GRAMMY-nominated albums, multimedia, & curricula empower youth to embody change, advocate for others, and imagine a world they can both be seen in and thrive in. Alphabet Rockers are based in Oakland, CA, on the unceded land of the Chochenyo Ohlone people.
It can be scary to feel like you’re all on your own, especially in the face of prejudice. But always remember: you are not alone. Inspired by the Alphabet Rockers’ empowering song “Not Alone,” this uplifting picture book reassures kids that they belong and encourages them to love their beautiful selves and their identities, use their voices against hate, and step up for one another and have one another’s backs no matter what.

Listen to the Language of the Trees A Story of How Forests Communicate Underground Tara Kelley, illustrated by Marie Hermansson
This fascinating picture book explores the underground communication system between trees and helps young readers see that the natural world’s survival depends on staying connected and helping others—just like us! • Explores a fascinating, trending topic: Reveals the underground communication system of tree roots in a forest to young readers, a fairly new revelation in the scientific world. • Perfectly aligns with science and literacy curriculum: The story and backmatter explore the forest ecosystem, the underground mycorrhizal network, and symbiotic relationships in nature, in alignment with K-5 Next Generation Science Standards. • Universal themes of compassion and community: Introduces children to the idea of the interconnectedness and importance of community, helping each other thrive, and assisting others when there is danger. Readers will discover that trees have their own social network, and helping one another thrive is trending. The fascinating mycorrhizal fungi network runs underground through the forest via the roots of trees, allowing for connection and communication.
Listen to the Language of the Trees captures the magic of talking trees that take care of their neighbors (not to mention the mysterious fungi that help them do it).
TERA KELLEY was a children’s bookseller for six years, and her first book, Ocean Baby, was selected for the ocean curriculum of Santa Cruz’s Migrant Head Start Program. She is currently a freelance writer and editor in Northern California, where she works at a local library. Find out more about her work at terakelley.com.
A lyrical read aloud, Listen to the Language of the Trees is the story of a seedling, newly sprouted at the base of a giant tree. As it stretches its roots into an underground web of fungi, it learns that its fellow trees use the fungi to pass messages and share resources! It will take great luck for this tiny seedling to survive, but it will have help from its friends in the forest. The Douglas fir forest also harbors creatures like a zany Yellow Pine chipmunk gathering and forgetting seed cones, an owl nested in the giant tree, and chattering Steller’s jays. And, as we must never forget, no part of the forest is entirely free from danger!

The Girl from Gladder Hill Christina Collins A moving, innovative middle grade that asks: Can you know who you are if don’t know what you look like? • Unique exploration of body image and our looks-obsessed culture through the lens of a community seemingly free from negative influences. • Compelling, voice-driven contemporary story perfect for fans of Counting by 7s and Extraordinary Birds. Zailey has never seen her own face. She’s never seen her reflection, or a photo of herself, or even a drawing. Here at Gladder Hill, cameras and mirrors are banned, words like “beautiful” and “ugly” aren’t in the dictionaries, and it’s wrong to talk—or even think—about anyone’s appearance, including one’s own. People are happier at Gladder Hill—or so Zailey’s been taught—so her fascination with her classmates’ faces is a guilty secret. She starts to wonder about the world outside the community, the past she can’t quite remember, and most of all, what she looks like. When a fateful event leads Zailey beyond the gates of Gladder Hill, she finally has a chance to have her questions answered. But is she prepared for the truth?

Monsters Born and Made Tanvi Berwah
A South Asian inspired YA debut that follows sixteen-year-old Koral, who risks her life each day to capture the monstrous maristags that live in the black seas that surround her island. • Fantastic Writing: Absolutely fantastic writing with incredible pacing and world building that transports you. • Tropes that Work: This has some of the classic fantasy tropes, but they feel fresh, interesting, and perfect for teen fantasy readers. • Connected: Melissa Albert had this to say about a previous short story: “A mesmerizing account of love, loss, and revenge, entwined with a mythic family history. It’s all spikes and rising oddity, a sharptoothed thing that nods to Helen Oyeyemi and Kelly Link, but does its own thing.”
Sixteen-year-old Koral and her older brother Emrik risk their live each day to capture the monstrous maristags that live in the black seas around their island. They have to, or else their family will starve. In an oceanic world swarming with vicious beasts, the Landers—the ruling elite, have indentured her family to provide the maristags for the Glory Race, a deadly chariot tournament reserved for the upper class. The winning contender receives gold and glory. The others—if they’re lucky—survive.
TANVI BERWAH is a South Asian writer who grew up wanting to touch the stars and reach back in time. She graduated from the University of Delhi with a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Literature of English and lives in India. This is her debut novel.
When the last maristag of the year escapes, and Koral has no new maristag to sell, her family’s financial situation takes a turn for the worse, and they can’t afford medicine for her chronically ill little sister. Koral decides her only choice is to do what no one in the world has ever dared: she cheats her way into the Glory Race.

My Family and Other Criminals Sierra Godfrey
A woman must return to her hometown of Santa Cruz, CA to inherit her family home after her mother dies, and is reunited with her estranged brother and sister, whom she was responsible for sending to prison 15 years earlier • Upmarket, darkly funny family saga with commercial hook, perfect for millennial readers. • Reader favorite tropes: return to small town, reunited with estranged family, ticking clock to inherit family home. • Strong crossover appeal for romcom readers. Natalie Walker is the reason her brother and sister went to jail over 15 years ago. As a result, she hasn’t spoken to her family since. On the same day she expects to be promoted at her job (until her boyfriend Paul swoops in and takes the position), Natalie receives a letter from a lawyer in Santa Cruz saying her mother has died and the only way for her children to inherit their family’s large, historical home is for all three adult children to come back and claim it.
SIERRA GODFREY is a tech editor by day who loves writing stories about complex relationships. She lives in the foggy wastelands of the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, sons, and a bevy of animals, all of which seemed like a good idea at the time.
Natalie drives to Santa Cruz, expecting to sign some documents, see siblings Lynn and Jake, and get back to her life in Boston. But Jake, now an award-winning scientist, is missing. And Lynn, working as an undertaker in NYC, shows up with her teenaged son. While Natalie and her nephew look for Jake—meeting a very handsome Spanish scientist in the process—Natalie takes stock of her life and the guilt she has held dear for so many years. Though no one can change the past, every day is an opportunity to change how you want to live in the future.

The Surgeon’s Daughter Audrey Blake She’s determined to revolutionize the field of medicine and save women’s lives by developing the Caesarean section surgery—but in doing so she’ll risk everything • Popular genre: Female-driven, historical fiction perfect for book clubs and readers of Marie Benedict. • Unique hook: Women in medical history is a fresh, unexplored space —and the story of women developing the Caesarean section is a story we’ve never seen before. In the 19th century, women rarely study medicine. This means that Nora Beady, the only woman in her medical school, constantly feels like an outsider. And when she is chosen to work with the only female professor to develop the Caesarean section, Nora draws the wrath of her male peers and professors. It’s a dangerous—and divisive—procedure that could save countless lives and revolutionize women’s health. But most doctors think it’s too risky, many don’t trust the findings of women, and husbands won’t let their wives undergo the procedure.
AUDREY BLAKE has a split personality— because she is the creative alter ego of Regina Sirois and Jaima Fixsen, two authors who met online in a survivor style writing contest. They live 1500 miles apart, but both are prairie girls: Jaima hails from Alberta, Canada, and Regina from the wheat fields of Kansas. Both are addicted to history, words, and stories of redoubtable women, and agree that their friendship, better and longer lasting than any other prize, is proof that good things happen in this random, crazy universe.

Think Schitt’s Creek at the drive-in! • Perfect YA fiction crossover: Features younger characters, lower heat level, and includes fun romcom tropes like summer love and friends to lovers. • Fresh new voice: Timothy Janovsky is multidisciplinary storyteller with a charming voice perfect for the romcom space.
Wren Roland has never been kissed, let alone been in love like all the characters in his favorite movies. On the eve of going home to help run his hometown drive-in, he drunkenly send emails to all the boys he (ahem) loved before he came out. It only makes sense that Derick Haverford, Wren’s #1 pre-coming-out-crush and the drive-in’s new social media marketing intern, is a recipient of one of those emails. And to make matters worse, he doesn’t even remember the infamous high school almost-kiss that Wren’s been pining away over.
TIMOTHY JANOVSKY is a queer, multidisciplinary storyteller from New Jersey. He holds a degree in theatre and dance from Muhlenberg College. His work as a humor writer has been featured on Points in Case, The Broadway Beat, and Well Mannered Grump, and his fiction short story debut was published by Voyage YA Journal. When he’s not daydreaming about a young Hugh Grant, he’s writing the queer romcoms he wished he had as a teenager. Never Been Kissed is his first novel.
Now Wren must team up with Derick to make a big promotional push for the drive-in’s annual Dusk-til-Dawn Moviethon. But what started as a professional partnership helps rekindle their old friendship, which might just be Wren’s first step towards finally getting his magical kiss-before-thecredits.

It’s no secret that mystery readers generally love cats and dogs, and this anthology offers a virtual trip to a zoo full of exotic creatures. • Broad appeal: The anthologies in this series have performed consistently well, likely due to the excellent curation by the highly knowledgeable series editor, Martin Edwards.

Encompassing all creatures great and small—from tales of commonplace critters like bees and earthworms, to distinctly more exotic incidents involving primates, lions, and crocodiles (and the occasional red herring, of course)— sometimes the crime or the explanation goes beyond human comprehension and requires the acute perceptions of our animal counterparts.
