For fans of Jasmine Warga and Starfish, an Iranian American girl navigates complicated relationships with her mother, her best friend, and her body image in this unflinching and ultimately uplifting middle-grade debut. Sometimes Yasmin feels like her body isn't hers. And it's not just because puberty has mounted a full-on alien invasion, or that emigrating from Iran a year-and-a-half ago has meant one change after another. It's also because her mother constantly pushes her to lose weight, like sewing Yasmin a beautiful blue dress for Persian New Year that is too tight on purpose. At school, it doesn't help that Yasmin's best friend, Carmen, is petite and close to her own mother, or that popular-girl Zoe always has a mean comment to spare. Yasmin is sure her crush, Jack, won't ever like her the way she is, either. With the pressure to fit in closing in on all sides, Yasmin starts taking desperate measures. But if being thin is supposed to make her happier, then why does losing weight feel like losing parts of herself, too? From debut author Rebecca Morrison comes The Blue Dress, a heart-rending, funny, and hopeful book inspired by her own life, relatable to anyone who has ever needed to break away from someone else's vision of how they should look in order to embrace their true self.

Sir Keith Wordsnot and the Sentence Symphony
Sir Keith Wordsnot and the Sentence Symphony is a wildly funny middle-grade adventure about a family for whom words are a way of life, and occasionally, a way of breaking reality.At 171/2 Glossary Crescent live the Wordsnots: Sebastian, who speaks brilliantly but spells like his letters have escaped on a school trip. Penelope, who writes like a dream but forgets that punctuation exists. George, who takes every sentence so literally it constitutes a hazard. And Sir Keith, a pompous, grammar-obsessed parrot who is definitely not an honorary parent, except that he absolutely is.When an ordinary family meeting about communication goes spectacularly wrong, words begin to behave very badly indeed. What follows is part language adventure, part household emergency, and entirely, gloriously, out of control.Sir Keith Wordsnot and the Sentence Symphony is a warm, riotously funny novel for readers aged 8-12 that celebrates neurodivergent thinking, different communication styles, and the spectacular mess that happens when a family of word enthusiasts takes language just a little too seriously. With laugh-out-loud moments, an ensemble of brilliantly voiced characters, and grammar concepts woven in so naturally you'll barely notice them over Keith's shouting, this is a book for every kind of reader, whatever kind of thinker they are.
Too Bright Outside
Too Bright Outside is a soothing, lyrical picture book for sensitive children who feel overwhelmed by noise, crowds, bright lights, busy classrooms, and fast moving days. Set in a lush village called Tukay, the Listening Place, the story follows Awiya, a spirited young girl who experiences the world with intense senses and a tender heart. She loves soft textures, quiet corners, gentle rhythms, and familiar routines. Sharp sounds, sudden changes, crowded spaces, and harsh lighting can feel like too much, too fast, too loud, too bright. When school begins and life grows noisier at home, Awiya starts to wonder if something is wrong with her. What she discovers instead is something far more powerful: she is not broken, she is not difficult, she is not too much. She is simply wired to feel deeply, notice more, and need kindness from a world that often rushes.Written with careful, compassionate language and paired with vibrant, expressive illustrations, Too Bright Outside helps children name sensory overload in a way that feels safe and understandable. The book supports young readers on the autism spectrum, highly sensitive children, anxious children, and any child who has ever felt overstimulated, misunderstood, or out of place. It also gives parents, caregivers, teachers, counselors, and therapists a gentle tool for opening conversations about sensory processing, emotional regulation, stimming, inclusion, patience, and empathy. The repeated refrain creates a calming read aloud experience, making it ideal for bedtime, classroom story time, social emotional learning, occupational therapy settings, and family discussions about big feelings.Awiya's journey is simple, relatable, and quietly transformative. She moves through everyday spaces that many children recognize, including school, the market, the park, and home, while learning how to find comfort, safety, and connection without being forced to change who she is. The message is clear without being preachy: different is not bad, different is human. The story reassures children that their needs are valid, their feelings make sense, and the right people will learn how to understand them. Too Bright Outside is a warm, affirming children's book about neurodiversity, sensory sensitivity, friendship, and self acceptance that leaves readers feeling seen, steadied, and hopeful.Perfect for ages 4 to 8, this illustrated picture book is especially meaningful for families navigating autism, sensory challenges, ADHD, anxiety, meltdowns, transitions, school overwhelm, or any child who needs reassurance that being sensitive is a strength.
