In a stunning story set against the rise of white nationalism comes an unflinching exploration of the destruction of hate, the power of fear, and the hope of redemption.

In this entertaining follow-up to Moons First Friends (2019), which portrays similarly anthropomorphized cartoon planets, lonesome Mars wishes for a playtime pal, particularly a pet. But as Dad, the Sun, points out, the family already has Plutoand besides, Mars has seven siblings to play with. But nobody is interestedbrother Jupiter is busy juggling his many moons, and sister Earth is exhausted (Just as I put half the humans to bed, the other half wake up). But then Opportunity and Spirit arrive. Earth has sent the rovers as a gift, and soon the spacecraft pets are crisscrossing a delighted Mars surface, exploring craters and gathering rocks. Later, as he cuddles them and falls asleep, Mars hopes for others. Bright, cheerful art echoes the lively text, depicting the rovers mission somewhat fancifully from Mars perspective. Although the riffs on planetary traits may resonate less with kids unfamiliar with them, the appended material, seemingly geared more toward older readers, provides information on the solar system, planet characteristics, and NASAs ongoing rover program, including the expeditions highlighted here.

Feelings are a normal part of life for children as well as adults, believes author Janan Cain, who wanted kids both to understand the concept of emotions and be able to express their feelings with words. Her delightful The Way I Feel has drawn praise from parents, educators and medical professionals across the country. It's used at bedtime, when parents want to talk about what happened that day; in classrooms, when teachers want to talk about pride and disappointment; and with sick children who are suffering from fear and confusion as well as pain. Illustrations and rhyming text portray children experiencing a range of emotions, including frustration, shyness, jealousy, and pride. Feelings are neither good nor bad, they simply are. Kids need words to name their feelings, just as they need words to name foood, clothes, toys, people, etc. Strong, colorful, and expressive images go along with the verses to help children connect the word and the emotion

Amelia Mac Guffin is no detective. She's eleven, quiet, and unlike her four younger siblings, she has no special talents. But Amelia loves her town. Her family has lived there forever. Her parents run the Pacific General Store, and she and her best friends, Birdie and Delphine, are about to start middle school. If Amelia doesn't find the staff, the Dragonfly Day Festival will be canceled. The town needs that tourist money to survive. Unless she cracks the case, Amelia's family will lose everything-including the adorable stray dog they've fallen in love with. She only has seven days to solve Urchin Beach's crime of the century. It's not a lot of time, but Amelia has her list of suspects. It might be the new kids next door. Or the grumpy mystery writer who lives in the town's creepiest mansion. Or perhaps even someone closer to home. Amelia wants to save the town. She wants to save the dog. She wants both, so much. But first, she has to catch a thief.
