Yummy: The Last Days of a Southside Shorty
Graphic novel · age 12+ · 620L · 2010
A rare, unflinching graphic novel about a real 11-year-old who killed and was killed in 1994 Chicago; it's grief and accountability wrapped together, not redemption fantasy, and older kids benefit from the discomfort.
My Antarctica
Picture book · ages 4–8 · 350L · 2024
A visually stunning and quiet introduction to the polar world that prioritizes awe over action.
