A moving graphic memoir in the vein of Almost All American Girl and Persepolis, Breadcrumbs is a coming-of-age story set in Poland as the country transitions from communism to capitalism.

In the late 1980s, Poland faces debilitating food shortages, worker discontent, and astronomical inflation. Seemingly overnight, the country transitions from communism to capitalism. During this period of flux, Kasia Babis is born.

In the shadow of national change, Kasia experiences her own journey of growth, from rebellious teen to politically minded activist. She grapples with her country's deep-rooted Catholicism and forges her own beliefs, leading to her becoming an active part of Poland's left-wing Razem party. Each new experience is a reminder that broader societal upheavals reverberate on a deeply personal level.

With a deft balance of the intimate and geopolitical, Kasia Babis chronicles her fight to uphold her progressive values while her country heads in the opposite direction. Breadcrumbs is a coming-of-age story--not only of Kasia but of Poland as a modern state.

Based on the research that race, gender, disability, and other important topics should be discussed with toddlers on up, this read-aloud series offers adults the opportunity to begin important conversations with young children in an informed, safe, and supported way.

Developed by experts in the fields of early childhood and activism, this topic-driven picture book offers clear, concrete language and compelling imagery to introduce the concept of disability. This book celebrates all bodies and abilities, just as they are, and addresses the inequities and opportunities for change in today's world.

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 tough issues 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.

These books offer a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult. Stunning art accompanies the simple and interactive text, and the back matter offers additional resources and ideas for extending this discussion.

But Millicent, Gertrude, Eugenia, and Dee-Dee are onto them, and they are determined to stop the KRA, even though they are now full pariahs in Antiquarium society.

Robert Louis Stevenson originally wrote "Dr. Jekyll And Mr Hyde" as a "chilling shocker." He then burned the draft and, upon his wife's advice, rewrote it as the darkly complex tale it is today. Stark, skillfully woven, this fascinating novel explores the curious turnings of human character through the strange case of Dr. Jekyll, a kindly scientist who by night takes on his stunted evil self, Mr. Hyde. Anticipating modern psychology, "Jekyll And Hyde" is a brilliantly original study of man's dual nature -- as well as an immortal tale of suspense and terror. Published in 1866, "Jekyll And Hyde" was an instant success and brought Stevenson his first taste of fame. Though sometimes dismissed as a mere mystery story, the book has evoked much literary admirations. Vladimir Nabokov likened it to "Madame Bovary" and "Dead Souls" as "a fable that lies nearer to poetry than to ordinary prose fiction."

A feel-good, refreshing contemporary YA romance from debut author Page Powars that follows a trans boy who starts at a new school and joins a boyfriend borrowing service masquerading as an Italian Club to prove that he's one of the boys.

When sixteen-year-old Noah Byrd starts fresh at a new school, he has the perfect plan to ensure the students see him as his true gender: join the school's illustrious [and secret] Borrow a Boyfriend Club, where members rent themselves out to their classmates for dates. The endless "slip-ups" that plagued him before will be old news once he establishes himself in the club.

Unfortunately, he fails the questionably rigorous interview process. Desperate, he strikes a deal with the club's prickly but attractive president, Asher--Noah will help lead the nearly-bankrupt club to victory at the school's popular talent show, and Asher will allow him to demonstrate his boyfriend skills in a series of tests that include romancing Asher himself.

If Noah can't help the club's members win the show, their whole operation shuts down, squashing his best chance at showing the whole school that he's "boy enough." But if Noah succeeds in securing the club their victory, he still loses. Because the most important, unbreakable rule of the Borrow a Boyfriend Club is simple: no real boyfriends (or girlfriends) allowed.

And as long as the Borrow a Boyfriend Club is still standing as high as Asher's man bun, they can never explore the feelings growing between them.
