At Last She Stood
A Robert F. Sibert Honor BookNCTE Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction for Children Honor BookAn ALA Notable BookA CCBC ChoiceRise: A Feminist Book Project ListChicago Public Library Best BookSchool Library Journal Best Book"A courageous, uplifting biography of a woman almost lost to history." -ALA BooklistWorld War II spy, Filipino guerrilla fighter, war hero, Medal of Freedom recipient, leprosy survivor, teacher, peacemaker . . . The legendary and inspiring life and work of Josefina "Joey" Guerrero is introduced to readers by two-time Newbery Medal winner, National Book Award finalist, and bestselling author Erin Entrada Kelly. For fans of Steve Sheinkin and Candace Fleming.Joey Guerrero, a native of the Philippines, was diagnosed with leprosy (Hansen's disease) as World War II unfolded in Europe and Asia. Soon after the Japanese occupied the Philippines, Joey--believing she would die soon--joined the guerrilla movement to complete covert missions in support of the Allies. Because of her condition, she was rarely searched by Japanese soldiers, which allowed her to courier secret messages, including an invaluable minefield map that she taped to her back. She was eventually awarded the US Presidential Medal of Freedom and admitted to the National Leprosarium in Carville, Louisiana, where she lived for nine years. When she was cured and released, she found it difficult to find work because of racial discrimination and her health history and was forced to pawn her Presidential Medal to make ends meet. Eventually, she shed her previous identity. When she died in 1996, her obituary identified her as a secretary from Manila. But Joey Guerrero was much more than that--she was a hero who changed the course of history.Erin Entrada Kelly's engaging nonfiction debut combines themes of the Philippines, World War II, the Asia-Pacific War, spy stories, Louisiana, immigration, disease and medicine, racism, perseverance, religious devotion, and hope. Illustrated with photographs, maps, and other illustrative material and featuring sidebars that clearly illuminate key moments in history, At Last She Stood is for readers and educators who love Candace Fleming, Deborah Heiligman, Christina Soontornvat, and Steve Sheinkin. Includes an author's note, source notes, index, and other back matter.

Human Rights and Liberty

Women of the NT Bible
Despite the misogyny and heterarchy perception of biblical women, as written by men, some were able to carve out positive paths, sometimes heroic even, for themselves, creating a more gender balance. Because of these gender imbalances, the book aims to bring awareness to the women mentioned in the Bible under six categories: Women in general, queens, prophetesses/disciples/healers, judges/rulers/leaders, heroines/warriors, and concubines/surrogates of the NT Bible. The NT featured women, and their contributions will be listed alphabetically for easy reference.

OT Books of the Bible
Following the fifth commandment: "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you" (Exodus 20:12). One may ask, what constitutes obeying, honoring, and loving one's parents? The answer lies inside this text. Should children willfully and unquestioningly accept their parents' authority, treat them with respect, appreciate and love them unconditionally, and provide for them when they become senior citizens and cannot fend for themselves? Another question that one might ask is, what if their parents are engaged in dishonorable activities that contravene the commandments? What should they do, especially if they are adult children? Again, the answer lies inside this text. Should children be forever obligated to their parents no matter what because their parents gave them life? If the child should choose to disparage their parent, will it contravene God's covenants and second-guess God? If, for whatever reason, parents are hard to honor, does it mean they have lost or never had admirable qualities or hone behaviors that are ignoble or sinful? Do children still need to extend honor to them because they are life-giving parents? God would want you to help bring them to redemption by repenting and returning to God's favor. Learn how.

Muzoon
"Muzoon takes readers on her perilous and ultimately hopeful journey from refugee child to advocate for others in need."--Malala Yousafzai, bestselling author and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize When her family had to flee Syria, 14-year-old Muzoon was told to pack only the most essential things--and so she packed her schoolbooks. This is the inspiring true story of a Syrian refugee who fought hard for what she needed--and grew into one of the world's leading advocates for education. This eye-opening memoir tells the story of a young girl's life in Syria, her family's wrenching decision to leave their home, and the upheaval of life in a refugee camp. Though her life had utterly changed, one thing remained the same. She knew that education was the key to a better future--for herself, and so that she could help her country. She went from tent to tent in the camp, trying to convince other kids, especially girls, to come to school. And her passion and dedication soon had people calling her the "Malala of Syria." Muzoon has grown into an internationally recognized advocate for refugees, for education, and for the rights of girls and women, and is now a UNICEF goodwill ambassador--the first refugee to play that role. Muzoon's story is absolutely riveting and will inspire young readers to use their own voices and stand up for what they believe in.

This STEAM nonfiction picture book for young readers reveals the story behind one of the greatest indigenous artworks in the Americas, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Maria Reiche wanted to put her curious mind to the test. When visiting Peru in 1941, she trekked across the land and discovered hidden lines covered in centuries of clay and sand. Fasciated, she picked up a broom from her tools and began sweeping for miles and miles to uncover more details, taking time to track her movement and sketch out the precise shapes she followed. Her first discovery was a spider-shaped carving spanning hundreds of feet of desert! Sweeping her way across the land, other shapes followed--a monkey, a condor, and a whale. But in the midst of these discoveries, she found out the land was going to be used for farming. She got to work again, this time demanding a press conference to announce her discoveries and stop the destruction of these ancient works of art--and it worked! Her efforts protected the land, which was later named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 thanks to Maria's tireless efforts. Author Michaela MacColl's lyrical writing and extensive research showcase Maria's triumphant tale, accompanied by art from Peruvian illustrator Elisa Chavarri, a past recipient of the Pura Belpr矇 Honor.
