Brown Girl Magic

Dalilla Hermans; Illustrator: Fantinha Ramos

Noon gets home from school, sad and angry. Someone made fun of her dark skin and wild curls. He told her she should leave. But Noon doesn't want to leave. And she shouldn't, because Noon is perfectly fine the way she is. In fact, she's MAGICAL.

Growing up as a brown girl in the West comes with its own set of challenges. You rarely get to see yourself reflected in the images presented to you. On television, in movies, and even in books it is still a struggle to find characters that look like you, that deal with the same issues you do. Brown Girl Magic wants to help fill that void. It's a book for, by, and about brown girls. About kinky hair and golden skin, about bullying and loving, about all different kinds, shapes, and forms of brown girls. This book is an attempt to (further) empower those girls. Because let's admit it: they are quite magical!

Ages 8-12.

Pepita, the Girl Who Needed to Fly

Gracia Iglesias

Pepita, the Girl Who Needed to Fly is a fun story that serves a serious purpose of teaching young children to accept themselves and others for who they are. Pepita would soar all over the place and her parents went after her time after time. Concerned the day would come when they would not be able to retrieve her, Pepita's family tries to weigh her down with heavy clothing and by tethering her to a string, all to no avail. But when they keep her indoors, even with all the books and games she could want, Pepita is miserable. And with all the delicious food they give her to eat so she will gain weight, Pepita instead withers away to the point of almost disappearing altogether. Only a strong wind could save her then and only her safe return convinces her family of the truth: when you love a person, you let her be free to fly!

Ages 4-7.
