| Summary/Abstract |
A boy grows up to bring positive change to his village in India. This story is true, and it started with a boy named Sundar. After the deaths of his mother, and later his daughter, Sundar Paliwal knows what he has to do. He is determined to live in a place where girls and boys are treated equally and where the surrounding countryside is not ravaged by irresponsible mining. And so he comes up with a plan. In rural India, where many people cling to age-old customs and gender inequality and discrimination are encouraged, Sundar manages to convince the people of his village to welcome every girl born with the planting of 111 trees. His efforts have turned a desert village into a green oasis that is safe and prosperous for girls.

| Summary/Abstract |
Separated from his family when they were forced to flee their home, a young East African boy named Deo lives alone in the Lukole refugee camp in Tanzania. With scarce resources at the camp, bullies have formed gangs to steal what they can, and a leader named Remy has begun targeting Deo. Then one day a coach gathers all the children to play soccer. Though Deo loves soccer and has even made his own ball out of banana leaves, he's unsure at first about joining in when he sees Remy on the field. But as Deo and the other boys get drawn into the game, everything begins to change. Their shared joy in playing provides the children - including Remy - with a sense of belonging.

| Summary/Abstract |
"Here's a deep dive into how real journalism works, what fake news is -- and most importantly, how to spot the difference. Organized into chapters that explore fake news and why it's so popular, how real news gets made, some common types of fake news, and how to investigate what you see online, this book is a must-read guide for kids who get most of their information online. With hilarious examples and humorous and lively illustrations, Can You Believe It? teaches critical thinking skills AND makes them fun. Readers will become familiar with everything from clickbait to advertorials, learning along the way about how bias creeps into fake news, why celebrity Instagram posts may not always be truthful, and why they should be extra suspicious of anything that makes them feel super smart. Thanks to two step-by-step guides to deconstructing fake news articles, and an additional article kids can use to test themselves, as well as a number of tips to keep in mind when browsing online, readers are empowered to build their skills. An engaging, understanding tone never talks down to kids, and a mix of illustration styles, from comics to fake news examples, makes tricky concepts visually appealing. Supported by backmatter that includes an author's note, a glossary, sources, and an index, this book contains everything kids need -- they'll never fall for fake news again!"--Provided by publisher.

The rescued baby is brought to an elephant orphanage for care, and given the name Zambezi.

| Summary/Abstract |
Imagine if you could condense all 3.5 billion years of life on Earth into just one hour. If you did, the dinosaurs wouldn't show up until 56 minutes into the hour and they'd be gone three minutes later. Modern humans (the ones we are related to) would amble into view at the very end of the hour, with just 0.2 seconds to spare. This amazing title introduces readers to things that are simply too big to grasp. By scaling them down, the author bring them into focus. Besides being a useful too to engineers and architects, scale is an important part of numeracy. Here big ideas and issues are scaled down into something more meaningful.
