Small Florence: Piggy Pop Star!
by Claire Alexander
Florence was shy and small but happy, and she has two older sisters. Her sisters take singing lessons, and Florence wishes she could be a ”piggy pop star.” So Florence sings in secret, and soon she is singing to her friends. Then one night, Florence and her sisters hear an announcement on television where the winner of a singing competition will get to perform on television. Florence wants to sing with her sisters, but she is too shy and nervous to sing for her sisters. So they tell her that she cannot sing with them. Florence does listen to them rehearse, though, and soon, she has their songs memorized. The night of the competition, many singers were there to join the competition. Florence waited and waited to see her sisters. However, when her sisters get onto the stage, they are suddenly shy and nervous. What will Florence do to help her sisters out? Will she become the “piggy pop star” that she dreams of becoming?

by Queen Rania Al Abdullah and Kelly DiPucchio and illustrated by Tricia Tusa
Salma and Lily are best friends, and they have a lot of fun drawing and playing together. They also eat lunch together. Lily eats peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and Salma eats hummus and pita sandwiches every day for lunch. Both of the girls believe that the other’s sandwich looks gross, and one day, Lily decides to say something about it to Salma. Salma gets very angry, and insults Lily’s sandwich, too. The girls are angry with each other and no longer draw or play together. At lunch the girls do not sit at the same table any more, and the other children also choose sides and say mean things back and forth to one another about food. Then one day, this leads to a food fight, and both Salma and Lily get into trouble for this. Will they be able to get past their differences and be friends again? Will they get the other children to be friends, too?
