In the vein of I Am Enough and Hold Them Close, this inspiring and beautiful picture book celebrates how hair wrapping ties together past and present. When I wrap, my roots run deep. As deep as an African marketplace or a city sidewalk or the stories between them. With lyrical text by acclaimed author Shauntay Grant and vibrant illustrations by Jenin Mohammed, When I Wrap My Hair is both an act of joyful recognition and a demonstration of how knowledge is passed through generations.

Two boys start their day in their own neighborhood, and then explore the downtown, taking in all of the sights and sounds the city has to offer. Basketball, water pistols, skate parks and street performers; the kids are pulled through the city streets by rhythm and rhyme, music and dance. With her signature spoken word-style poetry, Shauntay Grant creates an appealing and accessible follow-up to the award-winning Up Home. The City Speaks in Drums is a great way to encourage kids to explore their own city and get them talking about the special places they like to visit and the different people they meet.

Apples and Butterflies is a gentle, lyrical poem about a family's autumn vacation that shows Prince Edward Island in a light we don't often see—the "bright blue and orange light" of fall. Tamara Thiébaux-Heikalo's rich and wild illustrations build a narrative with the text, depicting the family beachcombing, flying kites and picking apples. Shauntay Grant's award-winning poetry makes readers long to go with her and conveys the wide-open space of the island.
