She took her glove and joined her friends, Nicky and Louie, at tryouts. She could hit, pitch, and catch as good as any of the boys--better than many, even, and it was no surprise that Maria made the team.

Highlighting resilience and bravery in the face of opposition, this powerful story details the true events that led to girls being able to play Little League--all told from Maria's first-person perspective as a young athlete.

Fletcher and Bear
My name is Libby Baxter and i embarked on writing 'Fletcher and Bear' after the tragic loss of my son Fletcher. Fletcher was stillborn in April 2018 due to unknown circumstances. Fletcher had a rare physical condition called Amniotic Band Syndrome which had affected his hands and feet physically but if you looked past his condition he was a perfect little boy. This story was written to give Fletcher a life he was so sadly unable to live. The story line captures Fletcher's physical deformities as special and not something that should limit a child's happiness. I have a Bear that I like to imagine would have been Fletcher's favourite should he still be here with me. I have incorporated 'Bear' as Fletcher's side kick throughout the story. I wrote this book as a dedication to Fletcher and also in recognition of all parents, family and friends who have experienced the loss of a child.

Supersquads!: Animal Heroes
There's strength in numbers out there in the wild! In a lively comics-style format, the creators of Supermoms! and Superdads! deliver a funny, fascinating look at some ingenious ways that animal squads survive. Did you know that when honeybees find a food source, they do a dance to convey the direction, distance, and yumminess level to their hive mates? Or that chickadees add extra "dees" to their calls to warn their flock of danger? Or that a meerkat standing like a sentry may well be guarding its mob while they eat? Sometimes the key is divvying up tasks, like when beavers build a dam, or it's combining differences--like when a sea anemone protects a hermit crab with its stinging tentacles, then gets a ride and some tasty tidbits from the crab. Or it's power in numbers, as when hundreds of thousands of starlings fly in a murmuration, foiling predators trying to lock in on a target. With fun, fact-filled panels, Heather Lang and Jamie Harper delve into the ways animals band together to stay safe and thrive, from orcas to ostriches, spiny lobsters to snow monkeys, leaf cutter ants to zebras and more. Aspiring naturalists can find out more about the animals in the back matter, along with an array of resources for continuing to explore.
