The Tiny Journalist
Naomi Shihab Nye | BOA Editions | 9781942683728 | April 2019
“In this moment of our history, many poets feel called to the poetry of witness and resistance.

A Million Dots
Sven Völker | Cicada Books | 9781908714664 | September 2019
“One, two, ten, even one hundred—you can see that number of people or items in your mind. It’s hard, though, especially for children, to visualize a thousand, a hundred thousand, a half a million, even a million. In his stylish book, Sven Völker translates these numbers into dots and uses them to create images that are both humorous and awe-inspiring. . . . An entertaining and educational way to relay the idea of number to kids at home or in the classroom, A Million Dots will elicit multiple exclamations of ‘Wow!’ as the numbers add up.”—Celebrate Picture Books
