by Sara StridsbergThe award-winning and beautiful story of a child coping with her father's absence. The book tackles a difficult subject with great tenderness, validating a child's experience of a parent suffering from depression. "This poignant, gentle book . . . will be immensely helpful to anyone caring for the child of someone with major depression. It fills an important gap in literature for young children."—Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon (winner of the National Book Award) and Far From the TreeZoe&’s dad isn&’t home. She still sees him in photographs, laughing and playing tennis, but for now she can only visit him in a building where everyone looks sad and the walls are an ugly pink color. Some days Zoe&’s dad is too sad to see her, but she goes to the hospital anyway. While waiting she meets Sabina who invites her to swim across the world. Zoe&’s not sure it&’s possible, but Sabina tells her, &“A girl can do everything she wants.&” Even though Sabina sometimes dives deep into her own thoughts, the two of them swim around the world many times that summer, until eventually Zoe&’s dad is ready to come home. The Summer of Diving is a book full of imagination and hope with a tender child&’s-eye understanding of the world. Stridsberg&’s story and Lundberg&’s lush and colorful paintings reflect and validate a child&’s feelings of loss and longing for closeness when a parent&’s joy for living temporarily fades.

The Sun Is Kind of a Big Deal
by Nick SelukA hilarious nonfiction picture book from the New York Times bestselling author and creator of Awkward Yeti.Oh hey, guess what? The Sun never stops working to keep things on Earth running smoothly. (That's why it's been Employee of the Month for 4.5 billion years.) So why does the Sun get to be the center of attention? Because it's our solar system's very own star! This funny and factual picture book from Awkward Yeti creator Nick Seluk explains every part of the Sun's big job: keeping our solar system together, giving Earth day and night, keeping us warm, and more. In fact, the Sun does so much for us that we wouldn't be alive without it. That's kind of a big deal. Each spread features bite-sized text and comic-style art with sidebars sprinkled throughout. Anthropomorphized planets (and Pluto) chime in with commentary as readers learn about the Sun. For instance, Mars found someone's rover. Earth wants the Sun to do more stuff for it. And Jupiter just wants the Sun's autograph. Funny, smart, and accessible, The Sun Is Kind of a Big Deal is a must-have!

The Sunsets of the West
by Tony JohnstonIt is Pa who decides to leave New Hampshire. "Gather your necessaries," he tells his family. So they pack up pots and pans, food, and farm tools. Ma hates to leave her home. Still, she says, "Gather your loved things." So they take a book and seeds and their dolls. "Good-bye," the youngest calls. Then they are gone. With the necessaries clanking tink-tink, tonk-tonk, and wagon wheels creaking, they make their way. They meet other families, and Ma hears stories that cause new dreams to pull her heart, too. But the dreams must share the trek with tears. Tears for the days without rain, then tears for the bullet rain that comes, for the swelling rivers that carry their cow and chickens away, for the graves they pass. The family keeps its hopes alive by singing songs: storm songs, wheel-fixing songs, songs for going on. Johnston's graceful story gives readers a strong feeling for one family's struggle and accomplishment on the westward journey to a new home.
