Growing up in Puerto Rico, I know how dangerous storms can be, and Island Storm had my heart in my throat. As the kids move farther from safety, the tension builds beautifully. Floca‘s text is masterful, but Sydney Smith‘s dark, textured art adds real urgency. A powerful, immersive picture book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A beautiful picture book biography that makes Augusta Baker‘s story accessible to readers of all ages. Centering her first as a storyteller is a smart, inviting choice, and the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. I‘m so glad books like this exist. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘ll be honest. I didn‘t realize winds were predictable/patterned/moved in certain ways. This book is fascinating and I have a much better understanding of our atmosphere and how wind shapes (literally) our planet. I also had to do some side research dives, which is always a good sign for me! With a blizzard predicted for this evening, this was a good day to read this one!

Frosty!!

4/5
Excellent children's book 📖 about female attires in history and how they used to be restrictive, and about Mary, a woman who fought for the right to wear comfortable clothes (namely pants).
It's a colorful book, with beautiful illustrations. Could be also a great book about bullying.

Every year at Christmastime, the Library becomes home to this beloved village and train setup, not just for our Polar Express Night (we read the story and eat treats and drink cocoa and Santa comes!), but for the whole season. It‘s become a tradition to which all of our patrons, young and old, look forward. 💖 #thepolarexpress #christmastraditions #librarylife
