On Sale Now : New Releases

Side by Side/Lado a Lado by Monica Brown illus. by Joe Cepeda - This is really good its the story of Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez working together. As far as I know this is the first children's book about Dolores Huerta.


Time to Pray by Maha Addasi illus. by Ned Gannon.
This is a late addition. Usually when I miss a book, I'll add it to next weeks new releases. However, the Holy month of Ramadan is being observed until September 9th. This picture book is about a young girl visitng her grandmother in a middle eastern city and learning the proper way to pray. The reason I know about this book and when Ramadan is celebrated is thanks to Jama Rattigan



Amazing Faces edited by Lee Bennett Hopkins I found about this one @ Literate Lives


Swing Cafe by Carl Norac - Amazon has the release date as Sept. 14th, it was listed as Sept 1st somewhere else. I decided to still include because it looks really good. And I have no qualms about listing it again the week of amazon's release date.
