As tensions spike, tempers flare, and the family&’s differences become glaringly obvious, Zadie realizes her family&’s most daunting challenge might not be rescuing the dragon but working together.

La June Nwa e Jenefer Blan, epi yo pa remake ke tout lÒt timoun yo chita ak zanmi ki sanble yo. Men, lÈ Jenefer demenaje, La June pa konnen ki kote pou li chita. Li santi l diferan. Yon nouvo tifi, Eva, demenaje nan ansyen kay Jenefer lan, e tout bagay de li diferan pou La June, tou. Nan lekÒl la, pwofesÈ La June an ap eseye yon eksperyans: chanje plas yo nan rekreyasyon midi. Apre sa, li rasanble klas la nan yon sÈk pou l pale sou rezon ki fÈ li te difisil pou yo chita ak moun diferan, sa yo te aprann sou youn ak lÒt, e ki jan yo ka pataje plis bagay toujou nan tan kap vini an. La June ak kondisip li yo kÒmanse konprann ke pafwa li konfÒtab pou nou antoure de moun ki tankou nou, men nou kÒmanse bati yon kominote selman lÈ nou aprann de moun ki diferan. Reflete ti sÈk gerizon rasyal pozitiv ke Fondasyon W. K.

A story about sharing our identities and making new friends from La June Montgomery Tabron, the President and CEO of the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. La June and her best friend, Jenefer, love going to school in Detroit. They're in the same class, and they always sit together at lunch. La June is Black and Jenefer is White, and they don't notice that all the other kids are sitting with friends who look like them. But when Jenefer moves away, La June doesn't know where to sit. She feels different. A new girl, Eva, moves into Jenefer's old house, and everything about her feels different to La June, too. At school, La June's teacher tries something new: changing up the seats at lunch time. After, he gathers the class into a circle to talk about why it was hard to sit with different people, what they learned about each other, and how they can share more in the future. La June and her classmates start to understand that sometimes it's comfortable to be around people who are like us, but we begin to build a community when we learn about people who are different. Reflecting the transformative racial healing practices that the W. K. Kellogg Foundation promotes and celebrates around the world, Our Differences Make Us Stronger shows young readers that sharing our stories, listening to others, and learning about our differences are the first steps to building a stronger community.
Disconnected: Understanding Alzheimer's Disease
by Connie Goldsmith“The common perception of Alzheimer’s from people who haven’t experienced it is that it’s more like a ‘quirk’ which all elderly people experience at some point. But Alzheimer’s is so much more than simple forgetfulness. With the memory loss comes confusion . . . What was once the bedroom turns into a frightening place . . . . They may not recognize family members and instead see them as strangers with unknown intentions. This gives them so much stress every day that they may lash out or become depressed.” —Charlie Poole, Alzheimer’s caregiver Alzheimer’s patients are one of the fastest-growing populations among aging communities in the United States. In 2024 roughly 6.9 million Americans aged sixty-five and older had Alzheimer’s disease. By 2050 that number is set to nearly double. An Alzheimer’s diagnosis affects more than just the patient—it impacts their family and friends too. As the disease progresses, the patient’s memory deteriorates, and their behavior may suddenly change. They may need more attention, care, and supervision. Many people are thrust into the role of a caregiver without preparation or knowledge of what's to come. In Disconnected: Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease, author and registered nurse Connie Goldsmith looks at the stages of Alzheimer’s, details current clinical research, and shares more than a dozen stories of patients and their families. No matter what age you are, it’s important to grow awareness for Alzheimer’s, recognize its signs and symptoms—and learn what you can do in the event that someone you love is diagnosed with the disease.
