A Junior Library Guild Selection February 2022 The true story of the people who helped make every public school a more inclusive place. There was a time in the United States when millions of children with disabilities weren't allowed to go to public school. But in 1971, seven kids and their families wanted to do something about it. They knew that every child had a right to an equal education, so they went to court to fight for that right. The case Mills v. Board of Education of the District of Columbia led to laws ensuring children with disabilities would receive a free, appropriate public education. Told in the voice of Janine Leffler, one of the millions of kids who went to school because of these laws, this book shares the true story of this landmark case.

As the first day draws to a close, there can be no doubt—this school year will definitely be the best!
The first book in the "Zuri Pi Wonders Why" series, "Do I have to go to School?" is an enchantingly illustrated story of a little girl, Zuri Pi, heading off to her first day at school. In spite of her mother's encouragement, Zuri Pi imagines disasters that she is sure will take place once she is left in the classroom. Her biggest fear, of course, is that her mother will forget to come back for her. The story ends when mom comes up with a clever solution to help Zuri Pi make the transition into the classroom. This story goes to the heart of the issue that children deal with on a daily basis--the desire to play on their own coupled with the need to know that mommy and daddy always come back.
