COMING FALL 2024:

XAVIER’S VOICE
Written by Ashley Franklin and illustrated by Tatiana Gardel

Xavier wishes his small voice was bigger and the anxious feeling he gets when trying to make friends was smaller. He makes many attempts to be louder, but he still isn't able to connect with any of his classmates. As Xavier withdraws into the world of his sketchbook, he wonders will he ever be able to make friends with such a small voice?

Congratulations to Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow and Luisa Uribe on their nomination for the WCCPBA!

Frustrated by a day full of teachers and classmates mispronouncing her beautiful name, a little girl tells her mother she never wants to go back to school. In response, the girl's mother teachers her about the musicality of African, Asian, Black-American, Latinx, and Middle Eastern names on their lyrical walk home through the city. Empowered by this newfound understanding, the young girl is ready to return the next day to share her knowledge with her class. https://www.wla.org/wccpba-2022-nominees
