Book: Raashi's Rakhis: A New Celebration of Raksha Bandhan (New Release)
Author: Sheetal Sheth
Illustrator: Lucía Soto

This is an empowering story of a young girl bold enough to start her own traditions and blaze a trail toward inclusivity. Raksha Bandhan is Raashi’s favorite festival! The siblings give out rakhis— handmade bracelets meant to provide protection. Since traditionally rakhi’s are only given to boys, Raashi looks to update this South Asian festival with her idea that both boys and girls get to trade rakhi bracelets.

Author: Hayley Rocco
Illustrator: John Rocco

Adorable chipmunk, Piper Waterstone, loves her books. So much so, that she cannot, will not, share them with anyone. That is, until a friendly librarian presents Piper with a magical card that will give her all the books she could ever dream of if she shares them with all her book-loving neighbors. Join the celebration and share just how special it is to have access to ALL the books.
