What an impactful book with a bold, inspirational voice. 3 sisters who migrated from Puerto Rico to the Bronx show us the power of perseverance to create meaningful change, by holding people and institutions accountable for discrimination. @Soaring20sPB

This biography is a literary work of art. I especially love @Soaring20sPB Angela Kunkel's descriptions of color as metaphors for Barbara Cooney's refusal to live or create in a black-and white world. Becca Stadtlander's illustrations are stunning. A really special book.

A masterfully-woven tale of hilarity, hijinks heart! Written by @COffsay, the cumulative structure builds laughter suspense, while the ending emphasizes the satisfaction of compromise and community. A perfect read-aloud, w/adorable illustrations by @Soaring20sPB Abi Cushman🐭

SO much to love about this book, and so much to learn from it. @Soaring20sPB @PatriciaNewman pulls the reader into a fascinating world of elephant communication. I found myself really relating to the elephants... feeling joy at their reunions, and grief over their losses.❤️

In 'The Different Tree,' by Elisa Boxer & Marieke Nelissen, the rest of the forest’s trees shed their leaves for the winter, but an oak tree hangs onto her dried, brown leaves. So stubborn, the wind whispers. What’s she waiting for? @eboxer
