From two-time Caldecott Winner author-illustrator Sophie Blackall!

If You Come to Earth is a glorious guide to our home planet, and a call for us to take care of both Earth and each other.

This stunning book is inspired by the thousands of children Sophie Blackall has met during her travels around the world in support of UNICEF and Save the Children.

And I don't wanna be the guy who has to start it

But I’m not gonna let myself become a target

And I don’t wanna be the guy who has to end it

And I swear I will do my best to try and mend it

Will we last if I'm not around?

Everything ain't as it seems

Tried to change the world, but the world changed me

Thank You, Omu!

Oge Mora

As Omu begins to cook her thick red stew the scent of it can be smelled throughout the entire city. One by one, people begin lining up at her door to ask for a taste of this delicious stew. But will Omu give away too much of it before she is able to get a taste for herself? The story follows a semi-repetitive narrative structure that allows for readers to use context clues and the illustrations to guess who or what is coming next. The language is simple yet descriptive, allowing the reader to become fully immersed in the colorful world that Mora creates. Along with the words, the illustrations truly create the environment that story is set in. Mora uses mixed media elements such as acrylic paint, china makers, pastels, patterned paper, and old book clippings in order to create scenery and characters that are full of expression and life. The words “KNOCK! KNOCK!” are uniquely different from the rest of the text, allowing for the onomatopoeia to stand out and be louder among the rest of the descriptions. All of the characters are diverse both in physical appearance and occupation, allowing for a multitude of groups to be represented. From a little boy to a hot dog vendor, everyone is treated with the same respect despite their occupation and role within the world of the story. The main character, Omu, is an older black woman whose race or status is never mentioned as part of the plot. Rather, her actions are what defines her character. This story shows what it means to be compassionate and how to share something special with those around oneself. It also exemplifies the power of community and receiving both physical and emotional benefits from giving to others. There is also a learning opportunity to be found in the name “Omu.” The front of the book provides the pronunciation (Ah-moo) as well as the meaning (Igbo term for “queen.”) This can be used to teach readers to recognize the importance of names and to take the initiative to learn how to pronounce them correctly. Overall, Mora creates a vibrant world with a simple lesson for young readers to enjoy.

BIBLIO: 2018, Little, Brown and Company/Hachette Book Group, Inc., Ages 3 to 6, $18.99.

April 1st is the birthday of American librarian and storyteller Augusta Braxton Baker (1911-1998). Born to two schoolteachers in Baltimore, Baker was a voracious student who read at a young age and careened through elementary and high school. With advocacy support from Eleanor Roosevelt, Baker was admitted to the Albany Teacher’s College and in 1934 earned a B. A. in Education and a B. S. in Library Science making her the first African American to earn a librarianship degree from the college.

In 1939, Baker went on to work as the children’s librarian at New York Public Library’s Harlem branch, founding the James Weldon Johnson Memorial Collection of Children’s Books to showcase representation of Black children and life in books, and beginning a lifelong career with children’s literature and the New York Public Library (NYPL). In 1953, she was appointed Storytelling Specialist and Assistant Coordinator of Children’s Services, quickly moving into the Coordinator of Children’s Services position years later and becoming the first African American to hold an administrative position with NYPL. Throughout her career, Baker was active with the American Library Association, and chaired committees for the Newbery Medal and Caldecott Medal recognizing excellence in children’s literature.

In celebration of Baker’s birthday, we’re sharing The Golden Lynx and Other Tales, a collection of international folk tales compiled by Baker and illustrated by Austrian artist Johannes Troyer (1902-1969). This is the first edition of the book published in 1960 by J. B. Lippincott and is signed by Baker, who writes in the introduction, “No story has been included in this collection that has not stood the supreme test of the children’s interest and approval”.
