With simple words and powerful illustrations, Aaron Reynolds and Coretta Scott King medalist Floyd Cooper recount the pivotal arrest of Rosa Parks at the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through his lens as a "colored" child, "Negro" teenager, "Black" young man, and finally successful African American state official, this book reveals how Merritt D. Long was shaped by - and helped to shape - American history. Jim Crow laws, segregation and the civil rights movement are the backdrop to Long's childhood and youth in Alabama in the 1950's and 1960's. As a child, the color of Long's skin dictated what doors he could walk through, where he could sit on the bus, where he could eat, and what water fountains he could use. But like many other southern Black people, the powerful pride of his family and community steeled him against the incessant insults of racism. And the civil rights movement help fuel his determination to become an educated, successful professional. Along the way, including a Morehouse College education in Atlanta, he met and was inspired by Muhammed Ali, Rosa Parks, and Julian Bond. But even at the pinnacle of his professional success as the head of several major state agencies, he continued to experience racist reactions to his authority and leadership. His journey led him to become a widely admired community leader, a loving husband and father, and a mentor and benefactor to the next generation of young people who struggle to overcome economic hardship and the still-present barriers of entrenched, systemic racism.

Book excerpt: "A wild concoction of Vonnegut and Lynch filtered through Mel Brooks, this is one rollicking existential ride through the ugly '80s world of Hollywood and publishing, and I've never read anything like it. Screwball and cosmic horror collide in Pivovarnick's absurd genre-bender that feels like watching Angel Heart and After Hours on a handful of psychoactives." -Thomas Pluck, author of Bad Boy Boogie and Life During Wartime It's 1984 in Los Angeles. Jake Maldemer's first book, Tales from the Back of a Bus, is a hit. It's a darkly comic genre-bending roman à clef in which aspiring writer 'Jack Moses' meets an odd little man name Kobold who keeps randomly feeding him, handwritten horror stories as they travel across Los Angeles in the back of an RTD bus. Just as the life of Jake's storybook-self gets stranger and more chaotic, so does Jake's real life. As he heads across the country to start his first ever book tour, stories and messages begin to arrive from someone calling themselves Kobold out here in the real world. Either somebody is playing an amazingly cruel and elaborate joke on him, or Jake Maldemer is slowly going insane.

It relates how I and a few friends suffered under the yoke of segregation, Jim Crow laws and what we accomplished to secure change in our neighborhood, the church and city. As difficult as it was living under those bigoted, racist laws, I also relate how much fun we had securing those changes.

Book excerpt: A buoyant account of the nightly tug-of-war between a sleepy father and his son, and the richly imaginative "sleepy stories" they create Each story told in Sleepy Stories drifts deeper into a beguiling dream world, telling of an elastic gentleman who stretches his body across town to effortlessly slip into bed, or of another sleepy young man who curls inside an upside-down umbrella to take a snooze. In Diego Bianki's magical universe, the waking world is made small (a French press and a red top hat shrink before our eyes), while the dream world Levrero and his son Nicolás build together (a land of sly frogs, giant apes, and smiling squids) waltzes across the page. On the last of Bianki's whimsical illustrations, Nicolás holds the book over his father's nodding head and says, "Another." This is a book to giggle with and curl up with, to take on every sleepy adventure.
