Multicultural and Diverse Juvenile Books

Winner of the Asian/Pacific American Award for Children's Literature. In the companion novel to the beloved and award-winning Amina's Voice, Amina once again uses her voice to bridge the places, people, and communities she loves--this time across continents.

Newbery Honor Book. A gorgeously written, hopeful middle grade novel in verse about a young girl who & must leave Syria to move to the United States. Jude never thought she'd be leaving her beloved older brother and father behind, all the way across the ocean in Syria. But when things in her hometown start becoming volatile, Jude and her mother are sent to live in Cincinnati with relatives. At first, everything in America seems too fast and too loud. The American movies that Jude has always loved haven't quite prepared her for starting school in the US--and her new label of "Middle Eastern," an identity she's never known before.
