Tune in for:

• Back Home: Story Time with My Father by ARLÈNE ELIZABETH CASIMIR. Lune loves hearing her daddy’s stories — the funny ones, the sad ones, the ones with lessons about truth and love. All of Daddy’s stories begin with “lakay” — back home — and each one ushers Lune to Haiti, her father’s homeland. Everyone has stories, her mommy tells her, so Lune begins to wonder: could she have stories of her own, too?
  
  
• When Isaac Hears the Rain by JULIE THOMPSON. When the rain starts to fall, others may dash, yelp, and dodge, as their smiles turn into frowns. But not Isaac. Isaac embraces the rain with curiosity and wonder, grateful for its renewing power and grounded in the world around him! 
  
  
• Miguel Must Fight! by JAMIE OFELIA. All his life, Miguel's familia told him he must fight! But his family's art of sword fighting never captivated him as much as his colored pencils did. When a dragon threatens his village, Miguel must make a choice: will he stand with his familia and fight, or can he prove that the pencil is mightier than the sword?
  
  
• All Food is Good Food by MOLLI JACKSON EHLERT. From salty to sweet, from cold to hot, crunchy to crispy, this inclusive and fun picture book shows all of the ways food can nourish and delights us!
