Zero the Hero<\/a>
\nby Joan Holub (Author) and Tom Lichtenheld (Illustrator)<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. That\u2019s what all the other numbers think of Zero. He doesn\u2019t add anything in addition. He\u2019s of no use in division. And don\u2019t even ask what he does in multiplication. (Hint: Poof!) But Zero knows he\u2019s worth a lot, and when the other numbers get into trouble, he swoops in to prove that his talents are innumerable.<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong> Unlike most numbers, Zero believed himself to be a hero. He just needed a chance to prove it.

I Lay My Stitches Down: Poems of American Slavery<\/a>
\nby Cynthia Grady (Author) and Michele Wood (Illustrator)
\n34 pages<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> Through imagery drawn from quilting and fiber arts each poem in this collection is spoken from a different perspective chronicling the various experiences of American slaves: a house slave, a mother losing her daughter to the auction block, a blacksmith, a slave fleeing on the Underground Railroad. Each poem is supplemented by a historical note.<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong>
\nNorth Star:<\/strong>
\nAge six saw me with a new master. He
\nwas no slaver. Instead of tobacco
\nfields, I plowed the planes of Euclid. Instead
\nof flax, I spun my way through Homer’s verse.
