Love shines through in the sticky notes shared between a mother and daughter in this picture book about making time for family in the midst of our busy lives. Between work and school, homework and housework, a mother and daughter don’t always get to spend as much time together as they’d like. Add to that a little girl’s fears about leaving home for the first time, and the need to stay close through handwritten notes becomes even more important. As the camp departure date gets closer, Mom does her best to soothe her daughter’s nerves. A visit from her grandmother helps to calm her fears and convince her that she’ll have a good time, even away from her mother and beloved cat. Camp ends up being a wonderful adventure – but nothing is sweeter than a back-at-home reunion. Qin Leng’s watercolor illustrations are the perfect complement to Emil Sher’s simple text. This nuanced story about a parent and child’s unconventional way of connecting is full of humor and affection. Young readers will enjoy spotting Lester the cat as he paws his way into the story. Key Text Features speech bubbles Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.3 With prompting and support, identify characters, settings, and major events in a story.

Young Man with Camera

By: Emil Sher

Emil Sher's acclaimed YA debut is now in paperback! T-- is used to getting grief. Grief from his mother, who worries about him constantly; grief from Mr. Lam, who runs the corner store and suspects every kid of stealing; grief from the trio of bullies he calls Joined at the Hip, whose cruelty has left T-- so battered he fears even his whole name could be used against him. But T-- has his own strength too: his camera, which he uses to capture the unique way he sees the world. His photos connect him to Ms. Karamath, the kind librarian at school; his friend Sean, whose passion for mysteries is matched only by his love for his dog, Watson; and most of all to Lucy, a homeless woman who shares his admiration for the photographer Diane Arbus. When Lucy is attacked by Joined at the Hip, T-- captures the assault on film. But those images lead him into even deeper trouble with the bullies, who threaten to hurt Sean if T-- tells. What's the right thing to do? Do pictures ever tell the whole truth? And what if the truth isn't always the right answer?

Montana Midnight

By: David emil Henderson

As described by reviewer/biographer Larry Bailey (The Wildwood Independent), "Montana Midnight is a brightly glowing literary Aurora Borealis. Plot, dialog, characters, intrigue, small-town politics, emotions, images, places and events twinkle and shimmer across 355 entertaining and richly rewarding pages."Author David Emil Henderson ("Escape ") describes it as a novel of adventure and environmental conflicts in Jackpine, Montana, circa 1974, "when everything changed -- even Montana."Against a background of national turmoil, a young Vietnam veteran returns home to Montana, only to encounter new battles when the Jackpine City Council appoints Nathan Chambers as mayor. The town is suffering economic doldrums, Nathan's beautiful wife Valerie is expecting their first child, and his best friend is urging Nathan to support a militant environmental attack against corporate kingpins who have chosen the quiet Jackpine environs as "a super playground for the rich.""My idea of a literary novel may not be the same as critics and others," Henderson says. "But this is one of those character-driven tales that doesn't fall into the common genres. I call it 'Montana Midnight' because it suggests that at any prior time in its history, this state hadn't quite made it to the next day. It's like all the hands on all the clocks were raised straight up in surrender to the status quo... until powerful factions came to make war, not love. "The pressure for change forces the entire community to assess where it wants to go. And for a young man involved in politics for the first time, it's a dangerous situation. "And it's lessons are meaningful for today," he adds with stern conviction. Henderson based this story on his former experiences as a newspaper publisher in the nation's fourth largest state.
