But Roya was too young then to remember much—and her older brothers and parents don’t really like to talk about it. It’s only when the family welcomes a new member—Mishka, a little bunny rabbit—that they are all finally able to open up. Together Roya and Mishka listen to big Bashir, gentle Hamayun, tough Navid, and sometimes even Mom and Dad tell their story of how they got here. This tender chapter book—based on Anoush Elman’s own family’s experience—is a story about being there for the ones you love, bunny escapes, and the meaning of home. Young readers and their families who welcome in Mishka will treasure it forever.

Title: [Spanish] - El sueño de Texas Author: Alberto Vázquez Figueroa Narrator: Chema Aguyó Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 1 minute Release date: December 11, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: En 1730 una docena de familias canarias partieron de su Lanzarote natal y se embarcaron durante 44 días rumbo al estado norteamericano de Texas en lo que constituyó la primera colonización civil de la historia de los Estados Unidos. Huyendo de la sequía y de la miseria que por aquel entonces asolaban las Islas Canarias, estas valientes familias se lanzaron a una aventura desesperada. Su primera parada fue en La Habana, de donde emprendieron ruta a Veracruz y de allí, en caravanas tiradas por bueyes y mulas, continuaron enfrentando innumerables peligros y vicisitudes a la búsqueda del paraíso prometido. Una historia única de colaboración, de superación, en la que el lector acompaña por mares y desiertos a los viajeros, cuyo único patrimonio era una piedra de moler gofio y una descomunal determinación por alcanzar el sueño que se les había prometido.

Title: The Bone Picker: Native Stories, Alternate Histories Author: Devon A. Mihesuah Narrator: Charley Flyte Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 16 minutes Release date: November 12, 2024 Genres: The Americas Publisher's Summary: Under the shadow of gray clouds, three children venture into the woods, where they spot the corpse of an old man on a scaffold. Suddenly a wild figure emerges, with long fingernails and tangled hair. It is the Hattak fullih nipi foni, the bone picker, who comes to tear off rotting flesh with his fingernails. Only the Choctaws who adhere to the old ways will speak of him. The frightening bone picker is just one of many entities, scary and mysterious, who lurk behind every page of this spine-tingling collection of Native fiction, written by award-winning Choctaw author Devon A. Mihesuah. As a Choctaw citizen, with deep ties to Indian Territory and Oklahoma, Mihesuah grew up hearing the stories of her ancestors. In the tradition of Native storytelling, she spins tales that move back and forth fluidly across time. The ancient beings, we discover, followed the tribe from their original homelands in Mississippi and are now ever-present influences on tribal consciousness. While some of the horrors told here are 'real life' in nature, the art of fiction that Mihesuah employs reveals surprising outcomes or alternative histories. It turns out the things that scare us the most can lead to the answers we are seeking and even ensure our very survival.

'They Just Need to Get a Job': 15 Myths on Homelessness by Mary Brosnahan

Title: 'They Just Need to Get a Job': 15 Myths on Homelessness Author: Mary Brosnahan Narrator: Kristen Kallen-Keck Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 40 minutes Release date: November 12, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: “Readers will come away infuriated, with a greater understanding of the systemic causes of homelessness, and with more compassion for their homeless neighbors. Essential reading for any community affected by homelessness (which is all of them).” —Booklist, Starred Review For readers of Andrea Elliott and Matthew Desmond, the former CEO of the Coalition for the Homeless breaks through the highly destructive misinformation surrounding our homeless neighbors Conservative think tanks like the Manhattan Institute disseminate anti-homeless myths in the media, legislatures, and the larger culture, claiming that our homeless neighbors cause their own predicament and that the best we can do is manage the problem. Drawing on her deep legal knowledge, policy expertise, and decades of frontline service, Mary Brosnahan cuts through the misinformation to deliver two important messages: that homelessness ultimately stems from a lack of investment in affordable housing; and that the greatest myth of all is that we should have no hope. In fact, the proven solutions are well documented, and the ability to enact them depends on us all. Brosnahan takes a nationwide look from New York to Detroit, Philly to L.A., and from rural areas such as Cumberland County, Pennsylvania to debunk 15 widespread misconceptions, including: - that the problem is inevitable (in fact, Housing First approaches have shown great success) - that “handouts” cause homelessness (in fact, the primary causes are flat wages and high rent) - that homeless people need to prove that they’re “ready” to receive aid (in fact, enforcing hurdles is far more expensive and less effective than Housing First). With brilliant insight, Brosnahan showcases how by dispelling these pervasive myths rooted in fear, we can embrace the affordable, housing-based solutions that will bring our impoverished neighbors home.
