Goodnight Ganesha
A gentle bedtime story featuring two children sleeping over at their grandparents' home in India and the various ways their culture plays a role in their nighttime routine. Reminiscent of Goodnight Moon. Illustrated by Kate Greenaway Medal finalist, Poonam Mistry.
A Voice of Hope: The Myrlie Evers-Williams Story
