With illustrations by Archana Sreenivasan, Tina Athaide's Sunshine in the Monsoons is a moving grandmother/grandchild picture book that reminds us to look for the silver lining in even the biggest storm clouds. ?Every year, the rainy season rolls into Mira’s town. For days and days during these monsoons, the sun hides behind thick clouds. Thunder booms. Rain pours. The bright and colorful neighborhood turns gray. With her grandmother, Avó, Mira used to know how to find the sunshine in the monsoons. But this year, Avó has to stay indoors. With her brother, Pran, Mira goes looking for the sunshine—to find joy on the darkest days and bring it back to Avó. Tina Athaide’s lyrical text and Archana Sreenivasan’s illustrations as bright as Fountainhas, the Latin Quarter of Goa, India, come together to reminder us that traditions will change and there will be rainy days, but if you look, a bright pocket of joy is waiting beyond the clouds.

Now in paperback A historically relevant middle-grade novel-in-verse about a girl's resiliency when faced with hatred towards refugees. Readers of The Night Diary and Inside Out and Back Again shouldn't miss out. An engaging historical fiction book for ages 10 and up. It's 1972 and Viva's Indian family has been expelled from Uganda and sent to a resettlement camp in England, but not all of them made the trip. Her father is supposed to meet them in London, but he never shows up. As they wait for him, Viva, her mother, and her sister get settled in camp and try to make the best of their life there. Just when she is beginning to feel at home with new friends, Viva and her family move out of the camp and to a part of London where they are not welcome. While grappling with the hate for brown-skinned people in their new community, Viva is determined to find her missing father so they can finish their move to Canada. When it turns out he has been sponsored to move to the United States, they have to save enough money to join him. Told in verse, Wings to Soar follows a resilient girl and the friendships she forges during a turbulent time. "These rich, vivacious lines combine an insistence on self with undaunted hope. A supreme heart-changer." --Rita Williams-Garcia, Newbery Honor, National Book Award, Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, and Coretta Scott King Award Winner
