CORETTA SCOTT KING HONOR BOOK: Black Girl You are Atlas by Renee Watson
In this semi-autobiographical collection of poems, Renee Watson writes about her experience growing up as a young Black girl at the intersections of race, class, and gender. Using a variety of poetic forms, from haiku to free verse, Watson shares recollections of her childhood in Portland, tender odes to the Black women in her life, and urgent calls for Black girls to step into their complete selves.

Fall in Love with a Great Book!
Max in the House of Spies by Adam Gidwitz
Leaving home is hard and Max is alone for the first time in his life. But not for long! Max is surprised to discover that he’s been joined by two unexpected traveling companions, a kobold and a dybbuk named Berg and Stein. Germany is becoming more and more dangerous for Jewish families, but Max is determined to find a way back home to his parents. He has a plan to return to Berlin. It merely involves accomplishing the impossible: becoming a British spy! After a few chapters, I was completely hooked on Max's story. I can't wait for the sequel, Max in the Land of Lies, to be released on February 25!
