U Is for Understanding
Summary
Claire is an amiable and spunky second grader with a colorful imagination and short attention span. Ms. Sage, her wise teacher, is passionate about capturing her students’ awareness one breath at a time. Over the next eight weeks, she will introduce new concepts to her students in hopes to plant seeds for growing mindfully. By exploring their inner and outer experiences, scavenger hunts, and a gigantic jar of jellybeans, listeners are engaged as the students’ time in the classroom overflows into daily challenges of life. Through engaging and promising lifelike encounters from bullies to four-legged companions, there are interesting lessons that are fictitious yet believable and many of which happened in a similar way. A diverse method of teaching social-emotional learning while fostering a growth mindset for all listeners.

Orla's Canvas
Summary
Narrated by 11-year-old Orla Gwen Gleason, Orla’s Canvas opens on Easter Sunday, in St. Suplice, Louisiana, a “misspelled town” north of New Orleans, and traces Orla's dawning realization that all is not as it seems in her personal life or in the life of her community. The death of St. Suplice’s doyenne, Mrs. Bellefleur Dubois Castleberry, for whom Orla’s mother keeps house, reveals Orla’s true paternity, shatters her trust in her beloved mother, and exposes her to the harsh realities of class and race in the Civil Rights-era South. When the Klan learns of Mrs. Castleberry’s collaboration with the local Negro minister and Archbishop Rummel to integrate the parochial school, violence fractures St. Suplice's vulnerable stability. The brutality Orla witnesses at summer’s end awakens her to life’s tenuous fragility. Like the South in which she lives, she suffers the turbulence of changing times. Smart, resilient, and fiercely determined to make sense of her pain, Orla paints chaos into beauty, documenting both horror and grace, discovering herself at last through her art.

Her Soccer Story
Summary
Her Soccer Story It is my father’s fault that I love soccer so much. He doesn’t know much about girls, but as a former professional soccer player, we built a bond as he perfected my skills. My aunties have kept an extra eye on me since my mother died. I’ve avoided their insistence on dance classes that would take precious time away from my beloved girls’ soccer team. After my father’s transfer to a new poor town, a team was finally forming, but girls were not allowed! How dare they deny my super skills! I needed to convince the coach to give me a chance. Join me on my journey!
