Fly, Firefly

Fly, Firefly
by Shana Keller (Author) and Ramona Kaulitzki (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound

Booktalk: One evening at dusk a wind current carries a lone firefly out over the sea. Glancing down into the water, the insect is mesmerized by the glowing bioluminescence, mistaking it for other fireflies. Seeking company, the firefly plunges into the waves. Luckily, there are human bystanders who can lend a hand. Based on an event experienced by nature writer and ecologist Rachel Carson and her niece.

Snippet:
My niece and I saw him sink into the sea.
His poor little wings couldn’t break free.

by Amanda Jackson Green (Author)

Booktalk: Many important moments in history have not been taught in schools or explored in the mainstream media. These events often include people of color and involve Black history. Intentional or not, this puts all Americans at a disadvantage. Learn about Black history moments that shaped America, from the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in Virginia in 1619 to the Freedom Summer of 1964, and read about efforts to reshape how we teach Black history in schools in the 21st century as we prepare for Juneteenth on June 19th.

Snippet:
