The true story of how a small Seder dinner on the campaign trail inspired Barack Obama to bring the tradition into the White House and host the first ever Presidential Passover celebration.

In 1800, President John Adams held the first formal Christmas dinner at
the newly built White House. In 1878, President Rutherford B. Hayes
observed Easter with a public "Egg Roll." But it wasn't until 2009 that a US president officially celebrated Passover.

A year earlier, on the campaign trail, three staffers had to get creative in order to host a Seder dinner. They gathered in a hotel basement, joined by candidate Barack Obama. They made the most of their surroundings and modest dinner, shared the stories and rituals of the holiday, and found connections between their communities. They made a toast and a promise to a future, grander celebration: next year in the White House.

For the first time, this story is told for picture book readers by award-winning author Richard Michelson and lauded illustrator EB Lewis in this special partnership with PJ Library.

A New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children's Book!

"This tender tale highlights the beauty of the natural world while inviting readers to find wonder in everyday moments."--Booklist

This delights a family of children, and when they ask the wind, "How will you blow today?" they marvel at the surprise answers they'll receive. Will the wind send gentle breezes that tickle and delight, cooling them off on hot days? Or strong gusts that knock their hats off and send them running inside on stormy days? Only one thing is for certain to the wind watchers--the wind is an always-changing wonder that constantly takes their breath away!

Complete with stunning, richly textured collage illustrations and lyrical text, this thoughtful and whimsical picture book demonstrates nature's dynamic abilities, celebrating its awe-inspiring connection to those who watch.

Maeve Mulvaney goes from "family raincloud" to Feminist Superhero in this upper middle grade novel perfect for fans of Carrie Firestone, Julie Murphy, and Barbara Dee.

Fourteen-year-old Maeve feels more at home in the pages of her comics and sketchbook than she does in "Nowhereville" (her maybe-not-so-nice nickname for the small Florida town where her family just moved). In the comic-book version of her life, she's a brave superhero who always bests the bad guys. In reality? Not so much.

When a bully at her new school makes her life miserable over her weight (and a sexist teacher defends him), Maeve isn't sure what to do. Her mom thinks she should just cheer up, brush it off, and stay positive. But then Maeve hears from other misfit eighth graders who are also being picked on, and she decides that enough is enough.

Drawing inspiration from her comics, Maeve creates a feminist superhero club, hoping she and her new friends can inspire meaningful change in their community. But it turns out, fighting back without becoming the bully yourself is harder than it seems...

This heartfelt and uplifting novel serves as a sweet reminder that heroes are stronger together, that home is where you make it, and that the greatest superpower you have is your voice.

"Maeve & co. represent a younger generation that doesn't need to have it all figured out to want better for themselves and others." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)

A Jane Addams Children's Book Award Finalist

The story of a Cuban refugee and her joy in an unexpected encounter that connects her beloved home in Havana with her new home in Atlanta

Each evening Coqui waits for the familiar cry of the Peanut Man--"¡Mani! Peanuts!"--and watches for him to appear on the street below her window. They always greet each other in their own special way--Coqui tucks her thumbs in her ears and sticks out her tongue at Emilio. And Emilio, to her great amusement, does the same in return. Night after night, the two friends continue their ritual.

One evening, Coqui sadly announces, "Nos vamos." She tells him that they have to leave Cuba. They are going to the United States. Emilio tries to assure her that she will like many things about los Estados Unidos, especially beisbol, her favorite sport. "But don't forget your friend Emilio," he says as he walks away. "¡Nunca!" she calls out through tears. She could never forget him.

Coqui and her family arrive in Decatur, Georgia, in the dead of winter to snow-covered ground. Her father seals the windows with duct tape and they await the arrival of spring. Coqui watches for the Peanut Man, but he does not appear.

Several years pass, she learns wobbly English, and becomes a devoted Atlanta Braves fan. She forgets her beloved Peanut Man. Then one day her father surprises her with the perfect birthday gift--two tickets for a Braves game to see their favorite player Hammerin' Hank Aaron. As they settle into their seats amid the cheering crowds, Coqui hears a man yelling "Peanuts! Get your peanuts!" The delicious smell of roasted peanuts reaches her and memories of home and Emilio rush into her head.

With luminous illustrations by the award-winning artist Raúl Colón, this story of immigration, of being displaced and finding a connection to home, reminds us how much alike we humans are, regardless of culture, color, or creed.
