COOLIES
Illustrated by Chris Soentpiet
Shek and his brother, Little Wong, arrive
in California and join hundreds of other
workers, to build a great railroad across
the West. But as days grow into months,
they endure many hardships. Inspired by
actual events, this story reveals the harsh
truth about life for the Chinese railroad
workers in 1865, while celebrating their
perseverance and bravery. “Soentpiet’s
impassioned paintings add new emotional
resonance to the heroic saga of
despised immigrants whose heroism
matched the towering mountains of the
west.” —School Library Journal

SEVEN BLIND MICE
“It’s a pillar,” says one. “It’s a fan,” says
another. One by one, the seven blind
mice investigate the strange Something
by the pond. And one by one, they come
back with a different theory. It’s only
when the seventh mouse goes out-and
explores the whole Something — that
the mice see the whole truth. Based on a
classic Indian tale, Ed Young’s beautifully
rendered version is a treasure to enjoy
again and again. “[A] perfect book.”
