Race & Social Justice for Kids
 As protests over the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and persistent systemic racism and violence in America continue it is still on all of us, especially non-Black and white Americans to read and educate ourselves. We know that it can be hard to find where to start when discussing race with children, so we’ve curated a list of wonderful children’s books, from Picture Books to YA, to help start the conversation. By starting to educate your children about race and racism early, you help to ensure that they can help change this country for the better now and when they’re older. |
Ruth Bader Ginsburg Books!
 We are continuing to honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg and encourage readers of all ages to learn about her life and legacy with a curated selection of books available both on our website and in-store on special RBG displays.

Each of Us a Desert Xochitl is destined to wander the desert alone, speaking her troubled village’s stories into its arid winds. Her only companions are the blessed stars above and enigmatic lines of poetry magically strewn across dusty dunes. Her one desire: to share her heart with a kindred spirit. One night, Xo’s wish is granted—in the form of Emilia, the cold and beautiful daughter of the town’s murderous conqueror. But when the two set out on a magical journey across the desert, they find their hearts could be a match… if only they can survive the nightmare-like terrors that arise when the sun goes down. Fresh off of Anger Is a Gift’s smashing success, Oshiro branches out into a fantastical direction with their new YA novel, Each of Us a Desert. |
