Two best friends are so excited to go back to school. They’re in the same class, their classroom is full of art supplies, and they’ve even made a new friend.

Grub is a lonely racoon. Rumbling in the trash. Looking for food. Seed is, well, a seed! Patiently waiting in the trash. Hoping someone will plant it. When the two finally meet, a hilarious friendship follows as they learn more about each other and the pressure that comes with fulfilling expectations. Katherine Tegen Books

‘My Voice Is a Trumpet’ By Jimmie Allen; illustrated by Cathy Ann Johnson From rising country star Jimmie Allen comes a lyrical celebration of the many types of voices that can effect change. From voices tall as a tree, to voices small as a bee, all it takes is confidence and a belief in the goodness of others to change the world. Flamingo
