The child / by Barton, Fiona,author.;
"The author of the stunning New York Times bestseller The Widow returns with a brand-new novel of twisting psychological suspense. As an old house is demolished in a gentrifying section of London, a workman discovers a tiny skeleton, buried for years. For journalist Kate Waters, it's a story that deserves attention.

Wave it until its woven in their mind. From quiet moments in nature and lively school plays, to neighborhood walks and daydreaming in the park, each spread in Dear Black Child depicts Black children standing in their power, taking up their space in the world, making their own sunshine on rainy days, opening their doors to their communities, writing their own stories, and most importantly, being their own, jubilant selves. Rahma Rodaah's words are magical in their musicality.

Gray / by Dockrill, Laura.; Child, Lauren.;
"Poetic words, evocative art, and die-cuts throughout combine to explore a child's moods through color-or the lack of color-and offer a reassuring message of love and acceptance. Today I feel gray. But that's OK. Some days you may feel sunshine yellow or orange-balloon bright. Other days you're gray, or even night-sky black-like a dark scribble on a page, a storm in the clouds, or a puddle in the road. Gray is when you don't feel like yourself, or like you don't belong. But however you feel, there are big hugs (red) and loving lullabies (blue) waiting, and even the grayest sidewalk is a canvas for you to fill with the colors you choose. A tender narration from British spoken-word poet Laura Dockrill and subtle, spare artwork from former UK Children's Laureate Lauren Child offer a comforting read for young children that addresses feelings of sadness and assures them that they are never alone."--
