Together: A first conversation about love (First Conversations)
By Megan Madison. 2022
An audiobook edition of the board book about love, relationships, and families, offering adults the opportunity to begin important conversations…
with young children in an informed, safe, and supported way. Now in audio! Developed by experts in the fields of early childhood and activism against injustice, this topic-driven book offers clear, concrete language and beautiful imagery that young children can grasp and adults can leverage for further discussion. While young children are avid observers and questioners of their world, adults often shut down or postpone conversations on complicated topics because it's hard to know where to begin. Research shows that talking about issues like love, relationships, and families from the age of two not only helps children understand what they see, but also increases self-awareness, self-esteem, and allows them to recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination and prejudice. This fourth book in the series begins the conversation on love with a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult. With a simple and interactive style, this audiobook also includes additional resources and ideas for extending this discussionOur subway baby

By Alexis O'Neill. 2023
Melvil Dewey loved order (Organize mother's jelly jars), efficiency (Why spell his name Melville when Melvil has fewer letters and…
sounds the same?), and keeping records (Height! Weight! Earnings!). Melvil also loved books and numbers and decimals. When he realized every library organized their books differently (Size! Title! Color!), he wondered if he could invent a system all libraries could use to ORGANIZE them EFFICIENTLY. A rat-a-tat speaker, Melvil was a persistent (and noisy) advocate for FREE public libraries. And he made enemies along the way as he pushed for changes. (Like his battle to establish the first library school with WOMEN as students.) Through it all he was EFFICIENT, INVENTIVE, and often ANNOYING as he made big changes in the world of public libraries-changes still found in the libraries of today!A wolf called Wander (A Voice of the Wilderness Novel)
