Designed to boost self-esteem, celebrate diversity, and build confidence in children ages 2-5, this beautifully illustrated rhyming picture book encourages kids to feel good about their hair, no matter how different it may be from other kids. In this hair-positivity book, children will meet Lola. Lola has really big curly hair, much bigger than the other kids at her school. While her big hair leads to lots of stares, ruins her games of hide and seek, and makes her easy to spot in a crowd, Lola embraces her differences and keeps kids entertained with the book's catchy refrain "I've got big hair and I don't care!"

Book Description
Megan's body hides the secret answer to a million prayers. Now the secret is out and it is her turn to pray. A mysterious substance, Raether's enzyme, has the power to prevent and cure cancer. It is the rarest of genetic gifts. It requires surgery to harvest. Hackers have raided medical databases for the names and addresses of likely donors and published them on the internet. The hunt is on. Megan Bishop looks like easy prey. Young and isolated, she will have to be quick and smart to evade the rogue bounty hunters sent to capture her by a twisted financial genius who seeks to weaponize mercy in his quest for power and vengeance. She will face betrayal and sacrifice. She will find herself at the gates of paranoia as the world closes in on the miracle within her. Her only way out may be to find the wisdom and courage to harness the strange power of Raether's enzyme. Raether's Enzyme is a thriller with a dash of science fiction. It shares a grounded contemporary setting with Neal Stephenson's Reamde. To borrow from Ursula LeGuin, it is a tale of an ambiguous dystopia, where a scientific discovery promises deliverance to the many as it imperils the few. It is a superhero origin story where the mutant power in play offers hope and life.

Book Description
When 16-year-old poetry blogger Tessa Dickinson is involved in a car accident and loses her eyesight for 100 days, she feels like her whole world has been turned upside-down. Terrified that her vision might never return, Tessa feels like she has nothing left to be happy about. But when her grandparents place an ad in the local newspaper looking for a typist to help Tessa continue writing and blogging, an unlikely answer knocks at their door: Weston Ludovico, a boy her age with bright eyes, an optimistic smile...and no legs. Knowing how angry and afraid Tessa is feeling, Weston thinks he can help her. But he has one condition -- no one can tell Tessa about his disability. And because she can't see him, she treats him with contempt: screaming at him to get out of her house and never come back. But for Weston, it's the most amazing feeling: to be treated like a normal person, not just a sob story. So he comes back. Again and again and again. Tessa spurns Weston's "obnoxious optimism", convinced that he has no idea what she's going through. But Weston knows exactly how she feels and reaches into her darkness to show her that there is more than one way to experience the world. As Tessa grows closer to Weston, she finds it harder and harder to imagine life without him -- and Weston can't imagine life without her. But he still hasn't told her the truth, and when Tessa's sight returns he'll have to make the hardest decision of his life: vanish from Tessa's world...or overcome his fear of being seen. 100 Days of Sunlight is a poignant and heartfelt novel by author Abbie Emmons. If you like sweet contemporary romance and strong family themes then you'll love this touching story of hope, healing, and getting back up when life knocks you down.
