Book Description
“Just Be a Kid” is for the workaholic. The story begins with a child telling his mom to “just be a kid” and that she is “becoming quite cranky” and “that’s no way to be”. The child proceeds to make suggestions about how to become less crabby by being more like a kid. He suggests they run up a hill and then roll down, row a boat or go to a movie because “kids get in for a buck”. They could “watch some construction” and “see the dump trucks”. The child suggests they do something the parent used to do “before being grown up”, like “ride roller coasters and try not to throw up”. Jumping in puddles, chewing bubble gum, lighting a candle or going to a museum or the zoo may help clear mom’s head. In the end, mom admits that she does not know how far off track she’d gotten and all of the fun she’d forgotten. She’s up and ready to do anything in his heart. She wants to know how he got to be so smart.

Book Description
In this companion to the enormously popular A Family Is a Family Is a Family, a group of kids share the silly questions they always hear, as well as the questions they would rather be asked about themselves. Being the new kid is hard, a child in the school playground tells us. I can think of better things to ask than if I’m a boy or a girl. Another child comes along and says she gets asked why she always has her nose in a book. Someone else gets asked where they come from. One after another, children share the questions they’re tired of being asked again and again — as opposed to what they believe are the most important or interesting things about themselves. As they move around the playground, picking up new friends along the way, there is a feeling of understanding and acceptance among them. And in the end, the new kid comes up with the question they would definitely all like to hear: “Hey kid, want to play?” Sara O’Leary’s thoughtful text and Qin Leng’s expressive illustrations tell a story about children who are all different, all themselves, all just kids.

Book Description
From acclaimed journalist Ben Bradlee Jr. comes the epic biography of Boston Red Sox legend Ted Williams that baseball fans have been waiting for. Williams was the best hitter in baseball history. His batting average of .406 in 1941 has not been topped since, and no player who has hit more than 500 home runs has a higher career batting average. Those totals would have been even higher if Williams had not left baseball for nearly five years in the prime of his career to serve as a Marine pilot in WWII and Korea. He hit home runs farther than any player before him -- and traveled a long way himself, as Ben Bradlee, Jr.'s grand biography reveals. Born in 1918 in San Diego, Ted would spend most of his life disguising his Mexican heritage. During his 22 years with the Boston Red Sox, Williams electrified crowds across America -- and shocked them, too: His notorious clashes with the press and fans threatened his reputation. Yet while he was a God in the batter's box, he was profoundly human once he stepped away from the plate. His ferocity came to define his troubled domestic life. While baseball might have been straightforward for Ted Williams, life was not. The Kid is biography of the highest literary order, a thrilling and honest account of a legend in all his glory and human complexity. In his final at-bat, Williams hit a home run. Bradlee's marvelous book clears the fences, too.

Book Description
I'm one of the most popular girls in my class. I was born on October 15, 2003, in Charleston, South Carolina. This book is written to help young writers like myself in the twenty-first century. There're many reasons to write this book; primarily, I used it as a tool to pass the time while waiting for mom to pick me up from the Boys and Girls Club, where kids go when their parents work the late hours. I know Mom's work is very important; other moms think so. She's the manager of Anna's Linen Store. I know mom enjoys her job; I would if I were older. This book is very comprehensive, I think, and addresses most of my life. Each part will connect with my family and my best friends around the world. Most of all, it places special emphasis on how hard it was to write it. You know, I estimated that there are over 200 members in my family. I don't know each of them, but when I complete this book, I hope to be able to call each by their correct name. Also, I hope to be able to ask them many questions about the role that they play in my life, at our upcoming Thanksgiving dinner, which will be at my sweet Uncle Ellis's house.
