Ancient astronomical knowledge, nationalist aspirations, artistic imagination, and community practices intersect in Mexico in Space. Through rich ethnographic detail that spans from Aztec cosmology to modern satellite programs, dark sky communities to collectives imagining Mars, anthropologist Anne W. Johnson challenges dominant narratives about who belongs in outer space.

In Our Colorful Garden of Kindness Blooms, a group of children from diverse backgrounds come together at a community center to create a beautiful garden. Through planting, caring for, and harvesting their unique fruits, vegetables, and flowers, the children discover the importance of teamwork, kindness, and patience. As they nurture their plants and share stories from their lives, they learn that despite their differences, they all share a common desire to grow something beautiful. The garden becomes a symbol of unity, as the children realize that when they work together, they can overcome challenges and create something greater than they could alone. This heartwarming story encourages young readers to embrace diversity, foster kindness, and appreciate the earth''s many gifts.

It is Christmastime in the small town of Chapin, South Carolina. All of the churches are preparing for a special Christmas Eve service to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Chapin United Methodist Church is putting the last plans for the service of worship all together. Unknown to the staff or Pastor Jody, there is another secret member of the staff scampering about, yes, scampering to check on each person as they finish up. John Wesley Church Mouse VI is doing his job although a little more slowly this year. His arthritic knee slows him down some. Up and down the church halls he runs, checking on Pastor Jody and all of the staff. His little mouse legs still carry him well. "Twas the day before Christmas and all through the church..." Read the poem to hear about a tornado, a fire, a box of hymnals, and a brave little mouse ending in a lesson of great joy!

"There is real life in Sarah Anne Johnson''s new book, and genuine family drama too, all grounded in an authoritative evocation of old Cape Cod''s waterways, marshes, and waterfront towns. The Last Sailor is memorable, clearly seen, and deeply felt."—Jon Clinch, author of Marley and Finn From the author of The Lightkeeper''s Wife comes a poignant and powerful historical novel about grief, redemption, and brotherhood set on the shores of Cape Cod. Cape Cod, 1898: All that Nathaniel Boyd wants is to be left alone. His hopes of marriage died years ago, not long after the storms and the seas and the sails took away his youngest brother. He''d rather be in the marshes of Cape Cod, with their predictable rhythms and no emotion. The Cape doesn''t blame him for the accident. The other Boyd brother, Finn, dives headlong into his fish trading company, trying to prove something to himself. When their father asks the brothers to sail a schooner down from Boston to their harbor village, he didn''t expect them to bring back a young girl fleeing her home, much less a girl who slips off the boat and nearly drowns. The Boyd men take Rachel to the nearest home to the harbor—that of Nathaniel''s first love, Meredith. As Rachel''s recovery brings Nathaniel back into Meredith''s world, nothing will be the same. And when their father dies and upends the world as they know it, Finn spins into a violent rage. Nathaniel will be forced to sail his own ship, taking command of his family and of his future. For fans of Sold on a Monday by Kristina McMorris and Lost Boy Found by Kirsten Alexander, The Last Sailor is the painful, but hopeful story of two boys scarred by the loss of their brother, and the men they know they must become.
