You Are Not Alone Alphabet Rockers, illustrated by Ashley Evans

From the Grammy-nominated hip-hop group Alphabet Rockers comes an empowering picture book that invites kids to love themselves, stand up to hate, and foster inclusivity among their peers! • 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 Parents’ Choice Award • The music, lyrics, curriculum, and concerts this book is drawn from are reviewed by an intercultural team of anti-bias thought leaders, educators, artists, parents, and young people of all genders • Alphabet Rockers frequently do school visits and live concerts and have taken these engagements online during the pandemic

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. 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! Based on the Alphabet Rockers’ empowering song “Not Alone,” this uplifting picture book reminds kids that they always belong. With its encouraging lyrics that invite readers to love their beautiful selves, celebrate their identities, and use their voices against hate, You Are Not Alone asks us to step up for one another and have each others’ backs, no matter what.

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, and 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, California, on the unceded land of the Chochenyo Ohlone people.

We’re all one big family, no matter where you’re from! Dive into this uplifting picture book and learn how to welcome neighbors into your community —particularly when they might be far from home • Important and timely: Human migration is a growing issue, and there are few picture books that tackle how to welcome resettled persons into your community • Great partner: One of the authors, Miry, is the founder of the resettlement nonprofit Miry’s List and will be able to promote the book with expertise • Lovely, gentle text: A welcoming, heartwarming read that also fits into the broader category of diverse picture books When we see someone new in our neighborhood, how can we help them feel safe and loved and important? How can we tell them "You’re not alone"? There are so many ways! Our World Is a Family explores the complicated topic of human migration in a gentle, loving, and affirming way. It lightly touches on the reason people might leave their homes, like climate change or lack of safety, and inspires children to welcome their new neighbors into their communities with love. An uplifting look at migration and, ultimately, human connection that champions diversity and inclusion.

Black Lives Matter meets Attack the Block with a dash of Under the Dome in this stunning story of teens using their talents to liberate a city from unjust police occupation • Timely subject matter: Amidst the Black Lives Matter movement and the growing call to view racism as a pandemic that has plagued the U.S. for centuries, Survive the Dome is an eye-opening story we need now more than ever • A new #OwnVoices star: Kosoko’s unique voice and compelling storytelling will appeal to readers who are in search of diverse protagonists that band together in order to overcome injustice • Thrilling read: An action-packed survival narrative that will keep readers on the edge of their seats

But when the protests get out of hand, the City of Baltimore enters a new kind of lockdown. A dome suddenly surrounds the city, forcing those inside to subscribe to a complete militarized shutdown.

As unrest inside the dome grows throughout the weekend-long lockdown, Marco, Catherine, and Marshall take the fight directly to the chief of police. Born and raised in the DC Metro Area and currently living in Brooklyn, KOSOKO JACKSON is a digital media strategist for nonprofit organizations, which enables his Twitter obsession. Occasionally, his personal essays have been featured on Medium, Thought Catalog, and The Advocate. When not searching for an extra hour in the day, he can be found obsessing over movies, drinking his (umpteenth) London Fog, or writing lengthy Twitter threads summarizing how Slytherin is the best Hogwarts House.

But despite Selena’s suspicion, she feels inexplicably drawn to Finch, leaving her with a sinking feeling that from now on, the two will be unnaturally linked to each other.

Noora is a Middle Eastern–American aspiring writer, amateur blogger, and recent NYU grad. Which is a glamorous way of saying she tutors wealthy Upper East Side kids and is currently crashing on her sister’s couch. So when an opportunity arises to work for Vinyl magazine as the assistant to the iconic editor in chief Loretta James, Noora jumps at the once-in-a-lifetime chance. The magazine practically raised her, teaching her everything from how to properly insert a tampon to which political philosophy she subscribed to, and this is the perfect first step toward her dream career. Except it quickly becomes clear that there’s a darker side to Vinyl’s glitz and glam. The old-school, elitist print team,and wokefor-the-wrong-reasons digital team are at war with one another, fighting for company resources, sabotaging each other’s content, poaching talent, and exposing secrets. As both sides attempt to use her as a spy in the shifting media landscape, Noora is forced to juggle the relentless demands of the job with her own goals, all while navigating a tentative new friendship with a brilliant editor, a fallout with her sister, and an ill-advised attraction to the hot IT guy. But in a world of viral scams and salacious stories, the push of a button can change everything, and ultimately, she’s going to have to choose—the print magazine she’s spent her life idolizing or the digital platform that’s focused on her future, her own ambitions or everyone else’s expectations. IMAN HARIRI-KIA is Bustle’s sex and relationships editor. She also writes a monthly column for Man Repeller and is a digital contributor to Teen Vogue. Previously, she worked as a sex and dating for Elite Daily and a lifestyle writer for Bustle and has promoted her work on the Today show, CBS, NY1 News, DailyMail TV, and more. And while this novel is entirely fictitious, she did begin her career as the assistant to the editor in chief of Teen Vogue. She’s passionate about advocacy, elevating the narratives of Middle Eastern women, and writing about her personal life on the internet (much to her parents’ dismay).
