MY BLUE IS HAPPY
YOUNG, JESSICA
Your neighbor says red is angry like a dragon’s breath, but you think it’s brave like a fire truck. Or maybe
your best friend likes pink because it’s pretty like a ballerina’s tutu, but you find it annoying — like a piece
of gum stuck on your shoe. In a subtle, child-friendly narrative, art teacher and debut author Jessica
Young suggests that colors may evoke as many emotions as there are people to look at them — and
opens up infinite possibilities for seeing the world in a wonderful new way.

MY MOM IS A FOREIGNER, BUT NOT ME
MOORE, JULIANNE
Bestselling author and award-winning actress Julianne Moore pays homage to all the Muttis, Mammas,
and Mamans who are from another country. A foreign mom may eat, speak, and dress differently than
other moms— she may wear special clothes for holidays, twist hair in strange old-fashioned braids, and
cook recipes passed down from grandma. Such a mom may be different than other moms, but...she is
also clearly the best. Vividly illustrated by Meilo So, this funny and heartwarming picture book about
growing up in multiple cultures celebrates the diverse world in which we live.
