“Navigating Night is a beautifully illustrated picture book that powerfully demonstrates the unique relationship between immigrant parents and their children. The story follows a young girl who joins her dad on his route delivering Chinese takeout food and becomes a crucial part of the journey as his guide and translator. She hates doing this at first, but as she learns more about her dad’s experience immigrating to the U.S., she grows to appreciate how he has made her American life possible.”

A powerful YA nonfiction examination of the epidemic, The Fight of Our Lives not only details key historical moments and figures, but also features first-person narratives, essays, poems, interviews, and more. The result is a stunning patchwork of voices that tell a story of grief, fear, inequity, and ignorance, but also one of advocacy, creativity, community, and love.”
