A few notes....

The Nameless City and Restart are middle grade Nutmeg nominees; I am not a huge fantasy fan but I do enjoy a good graphic novel so The Nameless City was an enjoyable read and is the first of a series. Restart was a bit predictable but I loved the story and I found myself rooting for all the right characters.

The Cardboard Kingdom should be your go to book if you're looking for creative inspiration.

Feelings can be confusing but in Niko Draws a Feeling, Niko finds someone who gets it. 

An ABC of Equality is coming out in hardcover in July. This is a board book that I bought and sent off to my great nieces. I loved it.

The Fierce 44 is a collective biography of 44 Black Americans. Some excellent information in there about folks who have made the world a better place.

Lift is a visual delight!

One Last Shot is an enjoyable read about a boy just trying to find his way in the world while not disappointing his dad. Miniature golf is the answer.

I forgot how much I enjoy Andrew Clements. The Loser's Club did not disappoint. How could a book about making reading cool disappoint a librarian :-)
