2023 | Publishers Weekly Best of 2023 | Winner of the Governor General's Literary Awards for Young People's LiteratureA heart-wrenching middle grade debut about Kemi, an aspiring scientist who loves statistics and facts, as she navigates grief and loss at a moment when life as she knows it changes forever.Eleven-year-old Kemi Carter loves scientific facts, specifically probability. It's how she understands the world and her place in it. Kemi knows her odds of being born were 1 in 5.5 trillion and that the odds of her having the best family ever were even lower. Yet somehow, Kemi lucked out.But everything Kemi thought she knew changes when she sees an asteroid hover in the sky, casting a purple haze over her world. Amplus-68 has an 84.7% chance of colliding with earth in four days, and with that collision, Kemi’s life as she knows it will end.But over the course of the four days, even facts don’t feel true to Kemi anymore. The new town she moved to that was supposed to be “better for her family” isn’t very welcoming. And Amplus-68 is taking over her life, but others are still going to school and eating at their favorite diner like nothing has changed. Is Kemi the only one who feels like the world is ending?With the days numbered, Kemi decides to put together a time capsule that will capture her family’s truth: how creative her mother is, how inquisitive her little sister can be, and how much Kemi's whole world revolves around her father. But no time capsule can change the truth behind all of it, that Kemi must face the most inevitable and hardest part of life: saying goodbye."My heart hurt as I raced through the last chapters of this unique book that shines a light on family, friends, grief, and love." —Lisa Yee, author of Maizy Chen's Last ChanceThe Perfect Sushi

Ce que j'affirme, c'est que ce témoignage qui vient après tant d'autres et qui décrit une abomination dont nous pourrions…
croire que plus rien ne nous demeure inconnu, est cependant différent, singulier, unique... L'enfant qui nous raconte ici son histoire était un élu de Dieu. Il ne vivait, depuis l'éveil de sa conscience, que pour Dieu, nourri du Talmud, ambitieux d'être initié à la Kabbale, voué à l'Eternel. Avions-nous jamais pensé à cette conséquence d'une horreur moins visible, moins frappante que d'autres abominations, - la pire de toutes, pourtant, pour nous qui possédons la foi : la mort de Dieu dans cette âme d'enfant qui découvre d'un seul coup le mal absolu ?Better parenting: a guide for Somali parents in the Diaspora
By Ruqia Abdi. 2018
Three issues confront Somali parents more than any other in their attempts to raise children in a new cultural environment:…
the education system, a lack of trust in Social Services, and a lack of a support system. The divide between the culture they grew up with and the new place in which they raise their children can seem too big to cross. Better Parenting promotes healthy parent-child relationships not only through helpful strategies but through a focus on the love and care mothers and fathers have for their children, examining the importance of early learning and play, parental investment, leading by example, and balancing schoolwork and free time. Ruqia Abdi helps each parent meet their children's needs, honoring Somali culture as it finds roots in new places and integrates with existing structures. By showing parents support during their transition to a new country and culture, Better Parenting successfully bridges gaps and builds parent-child relationships. Adult. UnratedMy otter half
