Melody and the Magic Music Box by Tim Tivis (Book Spotlight)

A heartwarming adventure that teaches kids to believe in themselves-no matter how small their voice may be.

When young Melody discovers a magical music box that only plays when someone smiles, she never expects it to lead her into a kingdom full of sadness. The princess has lost her smile-and with it, the music, laughter, and joy of the land. Melody knows she must help, but she’s just an ordinary girl… or is she?

To restore happiness to the kingdom, Melody enters the king’s grand singing contest. She doesn’t have the loudest voice-but she has something far more powerful: kindness, courage, and a heart full of hope.

Perfect for children ages 3 and up, this beautifully written story will:

  • Inspire confidence and resilience
  • Encourage kindness and empathy
  • Show that bravery comes from trying, not from being perfect
  • Help children discover the power of their unique gifts

Whether shared at bedtime, in the classroom, or during quiet reading time, Melody and the Magic Music Box reminds every child that their voice matters-and the world needs their smile.

No Victory Too Small: The Power of “We Can” by Dr. Akecia Owens-Cunningham (Book Spotlight)

Reading is a journey, and every reader’s journey begins with believing. Avery used to believe he could do anything until reading became hard. Now, self-doubt whispers louder than his dreams. But his little sister Alyssa still believes in him. And sometimes, all it takes is one person who believes to change everything.

This uplifting children’s book is ideal for early readers who are experiencing frustration, learning challenges, or low self-confidence. Through Avery and Alyssa’s journey, young readers will discover that struggling doesn’t mean failing, and that learning is a process that takes practice, patience, and perseverance.

No Books For Benjamin? by R.G. de Rouen (Book Spotlight)

Benjamin the worm loves his job at the Library of Congress—reading, organizing, and receiving letters from kids who share their favorite books. But everything changes when a strange illness sweeps across the world. Schools close. Libraries shut their doors. And suddenly… no more letters. No more books.
 
Kids everywhere are cut off from their favorite stories—and Benjamin knows he has to do something.
 
With the help of his clever and determined friends, Benjamin sets out on a mission to bring books back into children’s hands. Whether it’s finding new ways to distribute stories or helping build on each other’s strengths, this little team proves that determination—and a love of reading—can go a long way.
 
Because stories matter. And heroes come in all shapes… even squiggly ones.
