Winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal When a young boy embarks on a journey alone . . . he trails a colony of penguins, undulates in a smack of jellyfish, clasps hands with a constellation of stars, naps for a night in a bed of clams, and follows a trail of shells, home to his tribe of friends. If Lane Smith's Caldecott Honor Book Grandpa Green was an homage to aging and the end of life, There Is a Tribe of Kids is a meditation on childhood and life's beginning. Smith's vibrant sponge-paint illustrations and use of unusual collective nouns such as smack and unkindness bring the book to life. Whimsical, expressive, and perfectly paced, this story plays with language as much as it embodies imagination, and was awarded the 2017 Kate Greenaway Medal. This title has Common Core connections.

The newest Oprah’s Book Club 2.0 selection: this special eBook edition of The Twelve Tribes of Hattie by Ayana Mathis features exclusive content, including Oprah’s personal notes highlighted within the text, and a reading group guide. The arrival of a major new voice in contemporary fiction. A debut of extraordinary distinction: Ayana Mathis tells the story of the children of the Great Migration through the trials of one unforgettable family. In 1923, fifteen-year-old Hattie Shepherd flees Georgia and settles in Philadelphia, hoping for a chance at a better life. Instead, she marries a man who will bring her nothing but disappointment and watches helplessly as her firstborn twins succumb to an illness a few pennies could have prevented. Hattie gives birth to nine more children whom she raises with grit and mettle and not an ounce of the tenderness they crave. She vows to prepare them for the calamitous difficulty they are sure to face in their later lives, to meet a world that will not love them, a world that will not be kind. Captured here in twelve luminous narrative threads, their lives tell the story of a mother’s monumental courage and the journey of a nation. Beautiful and devastating, Ayana Mathis’s The Twelve Tribes of Hattie is wondrous from first to last—glorious, harrowing, unexpectedly uplifting, and blazing with life. An emotionally transfixing page-turner, a searing portrait of striving in the face of insurmountable adversity, an indelible encounter with the resilience of the human spirit and the driving force of the American dream.

Three Tribes of Little People, by Robert Perry, the long awaited sequel to his Life with the Little People doesn't disappoint. Robert uses his wonderful story telling ability to describe how the Chickasaws, Choctaws, and the Irish were brought together, accompanied by their magical friends, the Little People of the Indians and the Leprechauns of the Irish who brought them healing and fun. Most of the stories come from the life of Sebena Burris, a Chickasaw-Choctaw elder, for whom, as a young girl stricken with polio, the Little People were a constant source of help and companionship. Dr. Robin Gunning, Chickasaw author Bob tells the story of his early meetings with Chickasaw and Choctaw elders in Oklahoma. These were members of the Burris family who impart to him their tales of life in Mississippi and Indian Territory in Oklahoma, how the Little People contribute to the well-being of Native People. Along the way, you'll learn about docktors, found water, lye soap, and a host of other true lessons for today. Jim Stevens, poet, The Book of Big Dog Town The powerful stories in Three Tribes of Little People illustrates little people with Chickasaw, Choctaw and Irish origins. Written in vividly descriptive language, these stories paint pictures of little people in days gone by and illustrate they are still with us today, aiding the people of our three tribes and sometimes causing mischief along the way. Robert Perry has done a masterful job gathering these tales into a delightful story collection. Rebecca Hatcher Travis, Chickasaw author With the Three Tribes of Little People, Bob Perry captures the essence of tribal culture during the early years in Oklahoma. The stories of the Little People demonstrate how the Creator provides for his people and their needs. The interweaving of the Little People providing knowledge of plants to the "Docktor" was brilliant. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn more about the culture and to have a few laughs at the antics of the Little People with Sebena's family. Cindy Posey Williams, Echota Cherokee Tribe of Alabama Robert Perry's book gave me an interesting insight to native Americans beliefs. The Indians have very much in common with our native people in north of Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia- the Sami people, in the region they call Sapmi. One fascinating thing with Robert Perry's book about the tales of little people is the similarity to our little people here in Sweden, called "gratomtar." It was told that only goodharted people saw them. Every farm had their own gratomte who took good care of the farmers animals. Elisabeth Ornstein, Ulvsby, Sweden"
