Sing Them Home Sing Them Home
by Kallos, Stephanie
With her best-selling debut novel, Broken for You, Stephanie Kallos earned comparisons to John Irving, Anne Tyler, Margaret Atwood, and Carol Shields, establishing her as a writer of uncommon "wisdom and soulfulness" (Sue Monk Kidd). Sing Them Home is a deeply moving portrait of three grown siblings who have lived in the shadow of unresolved grief since their mother's mysterious disappearance when they were children.

Belonging: A Culture of Place Belonging: A Culture of Place
by Hooks, Bell
What does it mean to call a place home? Who is allowed to become a member of a community? When can we say that we truly belong? These are some of the questions of place and belonging that renowned cultural critic Bell Hooks examines in her new book, "Belonging: A Culture of Place". Traversing past and present, "Belonging" charts a cyclical journey in which Hooks moves from place to place, from country to city and back again, only to end where she began - her old Kentucky home. Hooks has written provocatively about race, gender, and class; and in this book she turns her attention to focus on issues of land and land ownership. Reflecting on the fact that 90 percent of all black people lived in the agrarian South before mass migration to northern cities in the early 1900s, she writes about black farmers, about black folks who have been committed both in the past and in the present to local food production, to being organic, and to finding solace in nature.Naturally, it would be impossible to contemplate these issues without thinking about the politics of race and class. Reflecting on the racism that continues to find expression in the world of real estate, she writes about segregation in housing and economic racialized zoning. In these critical essays, hooks finds surprising connections that link of the environment and sustainability to the politics of race and class that reach far beyond Kentucky. With characteristic insight and honesty, "Belonging "offers a remarkable vision of a world where all people - wherever they may call home - can live fully and well, where everyone can belong.

Hip Hop Speaks to Children: A Celebration of Poetry with a Beat with CD (Audio)
by Giovanni, Nikki
This collection truly has the potential to change the way young children see poetry. The intrinsic relationship between words and rhythm is amplified in a new groove. Bringing urban poetry into school curriculum will never be more fun than this October! We can't wait to share this with our neighborhood educators.--Angela Sherrill, 57th Street Books (Chicago, IL)
