Just when Valentina’s ballet recital is about to begin, she decides she does not want to be the red in a rainbow anymore. She wants to go on a colorful suburban adventure instead! Will the show go on, or has the runaway ballerina gone solo forever? #LatinxPitch #PB

A very prickly cactus wants nothing more than a home for the holidays. But customers want spirit, not spikes. If he wants to get purchased before Christmas, he needs a makeover fast, or risk getting dumped in the plant shop's compost bin with the other rejects. #LatinxPitch #PB

I've been reading @Thetututeacher's KINDergarten to my daughter in anticipation of her first day. Adding the Kindness Pledge from the story to the book jacket was a delightful surprise and a genius idea! I had to hang it up.

It's Esme's favorite tradition. When her grandparents announce their aguacates are finally ripe, the entire Ramos family gathers for a backyard bash. Over the course of this joyful afternoon, she learns how the memories made under the avocado tree span generations. #PBPitch #OWN
