The Carpet by Azaad, Dezh
A day in the life of an Afghan refugee child and their family, where every moment revolves around love, family, and the carpet that connects them to home. For Preschool-grade 2.
Happiness Falls by Kim, Angie
“We didn’t call the police right away” begins this novel about a biracial Korean American family. Mia, the irreverent, hyper-analytical twenty-year-old daughter, has an explanation for everything—which is why she isn’t initially concerned when her father and younger brother Eugene don’t return from a walk. What follows is both a ticking-clock investigation into the whereabouts of a father and an emotionally rich portrait of a family whose most personal secrets just may be at the heart of his disappearance.
Shaped By Her Hands by Freeman, Anna Harber
Maria Poveka Martinez learned pottery under the guiding hands of her Ko-oo, her aunt. Her new firing technique turned her pots black and shiny, and made them--and Maria--famous. This story of family and creativity illuminates how Maria's belief in sharing her love of clay brought success and joy from her New Mexico Pueblo to people across the country. For preschool to grade 2.
