Rise Up! The Art of Protest
by Jo Rippon (Author)

Booktalk: Human rights belong to every single one of us, but they are often under threat. Developed in collaboration with Amnesty International, this middle grade book encourages young people to engage in peaceful protest and stand up for freedom. Photographs of protest posters celebrate the ongoing fight for gender equality, civil rights, LGBTQ rights, refugee and immigrant rights, peace, and the environment.

Snippet: Protest is not a new idea. It might seem that way because of recent high-profile marches, rallies, and demonstrations. But throughout history there are many examples of people coming together to make the world a better and fairer place.

Immigrant Architect: Rafael Guastavino and the American Dream
by Berta de Miguel (Author), Kent Diebolt (Author), Virginia Lorente (Author / Illustrator)

Booktalk: The Spanish architects Rafael Guastavino Sr. and his son, Rafael Guastavino Jr., designed more than one thousand iconic spaces across New York City and the United States. The book is written in the voice of the son, who was eight years old in 1881 when he immigrated to America with his father. An introduction to architectural concepts and a timely reminder of immigrant contributions to America, the book includes four route maps for visiting Guastavino-designed spaces in New York City: uptown, midtown, downtown, and Prospect Park.
