The most magnificent idea / by Spires, Ashley,1978-;
Usually, the girl is an idea machine -- sometimes her brain is so full of ideas that her hands can't keep up. But today feels different. She seems to have everything she needs to get to work... but she doesn't know what to make! She searches high and low for an idea. She and her dog go for a walk, they brainstorm, they research, they dig through the entire house, but the girl can't find a single idea anywhere. What if she never has another idea ever again?LSC

Liliana the strong / by Blake, Quentin.; Chichester Clark, Emma.;
Liliana wears her super power lightly, using it to help others in a crisis. A resilient child, she thinks nothing of singlehandedly rescuing a highland cow stuck in the mud, or of stopping an out-of-control steamroller in its tracks, or of throwing a beached whale back out to sea.

Calling the moon : 16 period stories from BIPOC authors / by Salazar, Aida.; Méndez, Yamile Saied.;
For Angela, it came on the basketball court--while playing on the boys' team. For Penny, it came on a school field trip to the lake (making for some cringeworthy moments of humor). And to Layla's disappointment, it came at the start of her first fasting Ramadan, meaning that she won't be able to fast after all. Whether it spurs silence or celebration, whether the subjects are well prepared or totally in the dark, the young people in these sixteen stories find that getting a period not only brings change to their bodies, it also brings joy, sorrow, self-discovery, and yes, sometimes even gifts.
