Newberry Award..............


FIRST EVER NEWBERRY AWARD TO GO TO A GRAPHIC NOVEL: NEW KID, BY JERRY CRAFT, AND SAS IS ONE OF THE FIRST LIBRARIES TO HAVE THE BOOK! 



 

Welcome to the Library...I am very happy to be a part of the St. Ann's family. St. Ann's is a very special place and I hope that the library will continue to bring us together as a learning community.

Reading a book can take us to places we can only dream of, introduce us to friends of other cultures and finally bring the world of adventure and imagination to use in our own backyard.

My own girls have cherished the books they grew up with (The Kissing Hand was a favorite /mine too)and have helped them to grow into the young women they are today. 

Stop by the library and visit with us! We have already begun our road to adventure and ignited our imagination. We have lots to share with you!!

Thank you for allowing me to share the adventure with you and your child.
Smiles,
Mrs. Ortiz

------------------------------------------------------

Fire Truck vs. Dragon by Chris Barton; illustrated by Shanda McCloskey Don’t let the title fool you: Fire Truck and Dragon are actually good buddies. Instead of the fire-versus-water battle the neighborhood kids hope for, the two friends camp together, bring food to a cookout, and help with party games. Why kids might like it: Hilarious misdirection undercuts the frustration of readers' foiled expectations, and a twist ending provides surprising satisfaction. Further reading: Kids who do want a showdown between rivals might enjoy author Chris Barton’s earlier book, Shark vs. Train. The Three Billy Goats Buenos by Susan Middleton Elya; illustrated by Miguel Ordóñez What it is: a bilingual spin on The Three Billy Goats Gruff that asks readers to consider why the troll is so grumpy in the first place. Why kids might like it: With bright, chunky art and appealing rhymes in a mix of English and Spanish, this empathy-building tale makes a crowd-pleasing read-aloud. Want a taste? “There once were three goats, a brotherly trio. They needed to crisscross a fast-moving río. But under the bridge lived a grumpy gigante with tootsies as big as a small elefante.” Hat Tricks by Satoshi Kitamura What it’s about: Hattie the magic rabbit emerges from her top hat and entreats readers to recite along with her: "Abracadabra, katakurico!" A cat pops out of the hat, and with every repeat of the magic words, Hattie conjures another creature, each one larger than the last. Art alert: Bold, scribbly lines and cheery watercolors pop against a crisp white backdrop, although the pages become more crowded every time Hattie pulls a new friend from her hat. We Are Water Protectors by Carole Lindstrom; illustrated by Michaela Goade What it’s about: One brave Indigenous girl describes the sacredness of water, the way it unites nature and communities, and the importance of defending it against “the black snake” of an oil pipeline.  About the creators: Author Lindstrom (Metis/Ojibwe) and illustrator Goade (Tlingit/Haida) infuse the book’s powerful text and lavish, flowing illustrations with stories and symbols from their own rich heritages. Reviewers say: “An inspiring call to action for all who care about our interconnected planet” (Kirkus Reviews). Everyone's Awake by Colin Meloy; illustrated by Shawn Harris Featuring: the increasingly absurd nighttime antics of a wide-awake family living in a ramshackle lighthouse. What they get up to: tap dancing, roof repairs , international intrigue, trapeze routines on the ceiling fan, and playing whist with a ghostly visitor. Read it for: madcap energy; bouncy rhymes (author Meloy is the singer/songwriter for The Decemberists); and clever, adult-directed references to everything from the Pulitzers to Prince. Elementary School

When Sue Found Sue eBook In 1990, at a dig in South Dakota, Paleontologist Sue Hendrickson made her biggest discovery to date: Sue the T. rex, the largest and most complete T. rex skeleton ever unearthed! Named in Sue’s honor, its now placed on permanent exhibition at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.

Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! Audiobook When a bus driver takes a break from his route, a very unlikely volunteer springs up to take his place—a pigeon! But you've never met one like this before. As The Pigeon pleads, wheedles, and begs his way through the book, readers answer back and decide his fate.

We Are Grateful: Otsaliheliga! eBook The word otsaliheliga (oh-jah-LEE-hay-lee-gah) is used by members of the Cherokee Nation to express gratitude. Beginning in the fall with the new year and ending in summer, follow a full Cherokee year of celebrations and experiences, as written by a citizen of the Cherokee Nation.

Projekt 1065: A Novel of World War II Audiobook Michael lives with his family in WWII Berlin. But like his parents, he is a spy. Things get increasingly complicated after he joins the Hitler Youth and is tasked to find out more about a secret Nazi mission—and taking this on could threaten the lives of his family... and himself.

Tracking Pythons: The Quest to Catch an Invasive Predator and Save an Ecosystem  eBook Burmese pythons are native to Southeast Asia, so when one showed up dead along the side of a Florida highway in 1979, scientists were perplexed. No one knew the snakes had launched a full-scale invasion. Today a group of scientists is tracking Burmese pythons to find ways to stop their spread.

Monstrous: The Lore, Gore, and Science behind Your Favorite Monsters eBook Could Dr. Frankenstein's machine ever animate a body? Why should vampires drink from veins and not arteries? What body parts are best for zombies to eat? This fascinating encyclopedia of monsters delves into the history and science behind eight legendary creatures.
