Based on the writer’s own experience, MY BUTTERFLY SECRET tells of the struggle many impoverished children experience, trading precious parts of their home for a full stomach. 🦋 Kakak is torn between protecting the precious, secret butterflies his father showed him and selling them to collectors to feed his family. Eventually, hunger proves to be stronger than the butterflies’ magic. What if the village could come together to find a way to save the beauty of the environment and help disadvantaged families survive?  @crestonbooks

What would you do if a fountain offered up unexplained gifts?! @transitchildrenseditions   One Tuesday morning, a yellow hat bobs to the surface of the town fountain. The next day, there’s a yellow drum. Then a yellow rocking horse, roller skates, cowboy boots, a garden gnome, things with moustaches... By evening, the whole town is buzzing about the fountain’s incredible gifts. 💛 Notable experts from far and wide come to investigate. The mayor designates visiting days and installs a traffic light. But no one ever figures out the fountain’s secret. Then, one day, the fountain disappears as mysteriously as it arrived. But its magic remains...

Add this special book into your celebrations for Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! 💫 Vibrant and witty, AUNTIE KRISTINA’S GUIDE TO ASIAN AMERICAN ACTIVISM shows young readers how to love their bodies, fight for social justice, and be proud of the history that’s made them who they are.   Grounded in diverse lived experiences of featured Auntie Heroes and inspiring Young Rebels, this guide discusses the Asian American community, past and present; explores allyship with other communities of color; finds a place in national and global movements; and turns inward so young readers can practice love and self-care. Each chapter includes activism strategies for all kids––from those who love math and statistics to those who can’t wait for their next art project.  Along with her co-creators of Radical Cram School, Kristina Wong is Auntie Kristina, accompanying readers as they process uncomfortable realities, connect to the history of Asian America, and become leaders within their own communities and beyond.  @beamingbooksmn
