Trains
All aboard for this bold and graphic visual history of trains and railroads by award-winning author-illustrator Lynn Curlee--now with a new look! A symbol of adventure and possibility, trains have been getting people and things to where they need to go for almost two centuries! First, steam engines hissed billowing clouds into the air, then gleaming diesel locomotives pulled boxcars, freight cars, and sleek passenger cars north, south, east, and west. The story of how trains began barreling across the landscape is one of new machines, new inventions, new jobs, and new hopes. Railroad travel started with steam-powered wagons on a tramway and developed into a technology that would change the day-to-day life of Americans in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries--and forever connect one coast to another.

Angry Girls Will Get Us Through
Two starred reviews! In her "brilliant" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) first book for young readers, New York Times bestselling author and New York magazine writer-at-large Rebecca Traister draws material from her award-winning books and articles to show girls their anger has the power to be a force of change, just like for many trailblazers before them. From an early age, young girls are taught anger isn't an emotion they should express. They're told--either implicitly or explicitly--to spend their lives keeping their fury locked inside for the benefit of others. But partly, Traister argues, that's because the anger of women and girls has been a crucial catalyst for change, putting in motion some of the most defining social and political movements in our nation's history. And it's that anger that will blaze the path forward for the future. Traister chronicles a concise history from the colonial era to the Women's March of 2016 demonstrating how women's rage has forged coalitions and created political change through movements for women's and civil rights and more, and how the past decade has created an inflection point for women and girls who have yet to experience rights equal to men's in the United States.
