Um, makes me wonder how Mr. Stephen has never bumped into his Substitute Librarian (wink, wink)

Mr. Stephen, the Children's Librarian in the school, is very good but not as great as the Substitute Librarian. When Ms. Sublime is in charge, the room becomes more creative, expressive and more active!

Within the pages of this book you will find children having the time of their lives in the library while learning interesting facts, reading stories and meeting Ms. Sublime's friends for a fabulous dance party.
This book presents a classroom full of diverse, inclusive and

I absolutely love this book and would recommend it to any child who is dealing with a bully.

This is another book about bullying. The little girl in this book is happy most days and loves school but on some days she is sad. This is because there is a school bully who is not letting her play, makes fun of her and takes her food.

In the end she finds the courage to walk past the bully and go to the top of the jungle gym.
One page in this book that really stands out to me. When the little girl is talking to the tiger (imaginary tiger I would assume.) This imaginary friend listens to her and does not say

This is a very hard book to read so definitely preview it before presenting to a child in need. The book ends in a positive light as the mother and child leave to live in a group home.

"The river's rhythm runs through my veins. Runs through the veins of my people" - We Are Water Protectors by Carole Lindstrom

This book about a child taking a stand against the pollution that is harming the her community.

[Library for the Kind @library4thekind]

The story was inspired by indigenous-led movements across North America. The pollution is represented as a black snake and is reminiscent of the pipeline but its not mentioned straight out. The art and the message is beautiful and inspires young activists.
