Erin Hunter's #1 bestselling Warriors series continues with the third book in the Changing Skies arc. Two cats--an elder and an apprentice--believe that only they can save the Clans from certain destruction.

Moonpaw finally confesses to her Clanmates that her dead sister has been torturing her in her mind, and the Clan rallies around her in support. But as Moonpaw grows closer to Goldenpaw, her sister's threats become more ominous, and even turn bloody. Moonpaw worries she's a danger to her entire Clan. Would Thunderclan be better off without her?

Tawnypelt is sure that the prophecy she received from Bluestar is a dire warning--and she believes that only the Elders can see the Clans through the oncoming danger. Frustrated with his mother, Tigerstar bans her from speaking of the prophecy, so Tawnypelt takes refuge in ThunderClan. She begins to wonder if her true place is in the Clan of her birth.

Amidst all this, Starlingpaw grows bolder in his belief that he alone must save the Clans. But can an apprentice really hold the key to their salvation?

In this poignant, magical tale by the acclaimed author of Eventown, two girls find themselves dropped into each other's world--and must face down dragons they've only imagined.

Auden "Denny" Greene is happiest with her friend Runa, creating stories set in their imaginary land of Sorrowfeld, where princesses rule and cursed dragons are a constant danger. But now that they are turning twelve, Runa seems ready to give up on the magic of Sorrowfeld just when Denny needs it the most...

Princess Auden is the last remaining princess of Sorrowfeld--and on her twelfth birthday, she will be expected to vanquish the dragons that took her family. Only, when a swarm attacks her birthday celebration, all she can do is run...

But suddenly. Auden is in Denny's world. And Denny is in Auden's.

The two Audens have switched places. No one but them has any idea. And now, each girl must come into her own power in order to fight the other's dragons.

The magical beasts of Impossible Creatures meet the body-swap of Freaky Friday, set in a world as fantastical as Wicked's Oz!

This powerful picture book biography spotlights Septima Poinsette Clark, the civil rights leader who taught Black adults how to combat Jim Crow-era voting regulations. Written by Septima's granddaughter, Yvonne Clark-Rhines, along with acclaimed author Monica Clark-Robinson, this is a must-have for readers who were moved by Hidden Figures, The Oldest Student, and I Am Ruby Bridges.

Septima Clark was born poor, Black, and a girl. Being one of those things in 1898 was hard, but all three meant that access to education was going to be a fight. But with strong, hard-working women in her life, a determination to learn, and a passion for knowledge, Septima learned to read and write against all odds.

With stunning art by debut illustrator Abigail Albano-Payton, this lyrical biography charts the monumental life of one tenacious woman--once referred to as The Mother of the Civil Rights Movement by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.--who made it her mission to bring equity to literacy. Thanks to her efforts, the Black community was able to rise up against oppressive Jim Crow laws that tried to stifle their votes.

Septima persevered through adversity, discrimination, and even wrongful arrests to ensure that the road to liberation remained open for all people. This story is a testament to the power and importance of community-minded action.

A child takes in meditative time outdoors before dawn-- until it's time to shout "Good morning!" to the sun.

Just before daybreak, a child steps outside to plant warm feet on the cool ground.

Though it's quiet, there's so much sensory magic to see and feel and hear: lacy slug trails on the porch; spiderwebs rippling in the grass; birdsong in the air; wet dew and spiky pine needles to walk through in the woods beyond the yard.

Expertly modeling mindfulness, the child breathes in the still-sleepy world, taking in every little detail. But when the sun's warm rays arrive, it's time to run and jump and cartwheel! GOOD MORNING, MORNING!

Good Morning, Morning! is a perfect read-aloud for restless youngsters learning to self-soothe, and may well serve families as a new ritual to ease chaotic mornings. The joyous shout of the ending will bring the energy right back up, with a new focus toward the natural wonders all around us.

What happens when the quest finds you, despite your best efforts? A reluctant adventurer sets off on an unexpected journey in this broadly appealing fantasy at once earnest and self-aware, funny and heartfelt, and thoroughly charming.

Nell O'Dell yearns for a quiet life tending her garden and caring for her chickens. Unfortunately, her family runs the bustling Crossroads Inn--accommodating all species of patron from fairies to fauns to half-giants, most of them questers on their way to seek glory and fortune. What's more, her parents are retired questers themselves, and everyone assumes that Nell will follow in their footsteps. Then the day comes when a letter arrives from the government, threatening the Inn and all that Nell holds dear, and someone needs to go on a short journey to the capital to take care of it. Nell is the only one available--but that's fine, because it's just a boring business trip, not a quest! Even if she does find herself up against an excitable travel partner, a thief in the night, a stolen treasure, and a mysterious knife . . .

A young child journeys toward independence in this award-winning picture book, "visual narrative of the highest level."*

With richly evocative art by a two-time winner of NY Times' Best Illustrated Books, here is a story of separation and return.

After a young boy unties the knot anchoring his small boat near his mother, he slips away from her on a gentle tide, floating off on a quiet and peaceful journey through town, jungle, and city. When he floats back to the beach--was it a few hours? a few minutes?--his mother is there at the water's edge right where he left her. Perhaps it was a dream? And yet he has returned from his solo adventure with a gift pressed into his palm, a tiny seed that when planted will grow on its own.

Separation from a parent, whether for a long period or just a few minutes, can fill a child with anxiety, but at other times that same child may long to do things on their own. Using gouache, collage and watercolor, Lundberg's stunning illustrations in Nobody But Me convey both the child's agency and the unbreakable bond with his mother. Here is a story that will bring joy to young and old readers alike. 4-7 years.

"The author invite us to witness the magic of a perfect childhood [story]."**

Here's a wondrous picture book for children ages 4-8 that will shake up the way readers think about plants.

Hey, creatures of the world! The plants would like to set a few things straight in this entertaining account of the astonishing skills they possess. Readers will be familiar with some of these abilities, such as photosynthesis, but others are likely to amaze children and adults alike, such as the fact that trees can communicate with--and send food and water to--one another through their roots with the help of fungi that connect them!

Bursting with fun facts and plants with attitude, We Can Hear Without Ears is an energetic account of the invisible ways plants defend, nourish, strengthen themselves, and communicate with others.

These plants are anything but boring; in fact, they're thrilling, and as they share their secrets, they are sure to transform the way you think about flora.

In the 1700s, Russia's rulers funded an expedition to Siberia and beyond--to the mysterious North American coastline of what would later become Alaska. Ambitious in scope and incredibly lengthy in time commitment, the Great Northern Expedition was ultimately doomed and largely lost to history. Italian artist Maria Cristina Pritelli here reimagines it through the eyes of the young son of Sven Waxell, second-in-command to the famous Danish captain Vitus Bering. Pritelli's cinematic landscapes and attention to both historical and natural detail imbue the fateful voyage with a subtle beauty that makes it easy to consider the appeal such a mission of discovery would have had centuries ago.
