by Linda SarsourAn empowering young readers edition of We Are Not Here to Be Bystanders, the memoir by Women’s March coorganizer and activist Linda Sarsour. <p><p> You can count on me, your Palestinian Muslim sister, to keep her voice loud, keep her feet on the streets, and keep my head held high because I am not afraid. <p><p> On January 21, 2017, Linda Sarsour stood in the National Mall to deliver a speech that would go down in history. A crowd of over 470,000 people gathered in Washington, DC, to advocate for legislation, policy, and the protection of women’s rights—with Linda, a Muslim American activist from Brooklyn, leading the charge, unapologetic and unafraid. <p><p> In this middle grade edition of We Are Not Here to be Bystanders, Linda shares the memories that shaped her into the activist she is today, and how these pivotal moments in her life led her to being an organizer in one of the largest single-day protests in US history. From the Brooklyn bodega her father owned to the streets of Washington, DC, Linda’s story as a daughter of Palestinian immigrants is a moving portrayal of what it means to find your voice in your youth and use it for the good of others as an adult.

Learn to breathe through storms of emotions in this nautical meditation adventure. Whether you&’re grouchy or grumpy, gloomy or grey, the Wildering Billies cannot get their way. They yell and they shout and they cry and they weep but your breath holds you steady way down in the deep. When sailing through the open seas of life, the waters are not always calm. From out of nowhere waves of stress, worry, and anxiety—here personified as wild and furry creatures called the Wildering Billies—can rock our boat. Step by step, this story shows us how to calm the dreaded and colorful Billies, showing that their ruckus is no match for the stillness and quiet we can cultivate through meditation. By imagining ourselves as ships floating in the sea of our minds and anchored by our breath, we can learn to ride through the storms of life to smoother waters. Inspired by her decades of Zen practice and work with children, Zuisei has created this delightful introduction to the world of meditation. The book ends with a helpful recap of the steps Stop, Imagine, Breathe, and Anchor, so kids can remember how to tame the Billies whenever emotions are overwhelming, sending them on their way.
