Much like Vibranium\, the Heart Shaped Herb is essential to the survival and prosperity of Wakanda. But something is wrong. The plants are no longer growing. No matter what the people of Wakanda do\, they can’t create new ones\, and their supply is running short. It’s up to Shuri to travel from Wakanda in order to discover what is killing the Herb\, and how she can save it.

For starters\, Kenny has a whole litter of baby sisters. His friends are at different schools and Sir George is off adventuring. At least Kenny still has his very best friend\, Grahame. That’s before Dante arrives. Dante is a legendary manticore and an old friend of Grahame’s. Old friends spend a lot of time catching up. And that catching up does not involve Kenny. But there’s a witch to defeat\, a pal to rescue\, and a mysterious book to unlock. And those are quests for best friends\, not old friends. Right? \nModerated by Angela DiTerlizzi

SUMMARY:Storytime: The Worst Read-Aloud Books Ever
DESCRIPTION:Grades PreK – 3 \nIntroduced by Cierra Bragan\, Miami Mom Collective. \nLet’s get real – the English language is bizarre. A might be for apple\, but it’s also for aisle and aeons. Why does the word “gnat” start with a G but the word “knot” doesn’t start with an N? It doesn’t always make sense in Raj Haldar’s P is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever\, but don’t let these rule-breaking silent letters defeat you! \nYou can’t believe everything you hear. A single word can have many different meanings. And sometimes two words that sound alike can be spelled completely differently. In No Reading Allowed: The Worst Read-Aloud Book Ever\, Haldar takes a fresh look at the English language for children and their parents to laugh together. Ptolemy the pterodactyl is back to show us all how absurd and fun language can be when homophones\, homonyms\, and tricky punctuation are at play. \n  \nSponsored by:\n \nThe Children’s Trust Family Resource Guide | Romero Britto Coloring Book \nBook Club Flyer – English | Book Club Flyer – Spanish | Book Club Flyer – Creole

SUMMARY:Poisoned Water: How the Citizens of Flint\, Michigan\, Fought for Their Lives and Warned the Nation
DESCRIPTION:Live Q&A: Wednesday\, November 18 @ 4 – 4:30 p.m. EST \nGrades 9 – 12 \nIn 2014\, Flint\, Michigan\, was a cash-strapped city that had been built up\, then abandoned by General Motors. As part of a plan to save money\, government officials decided that Flint would temporarily switch its water supply from Lake Huron to the Flint River. Within months\, many residents broke out in rashes. Then it got worse: Children stopped growing. Some people were hospitalized with mysterious illnesses. Others died. Citizens of Flint protested that the water was dangerous. Despite what seemed so apparent from the murky\, foul-smelling liquid pouring from the city’s faucets\, officials refused to listen. They treated the people of Flint as the problem\, not the water\, which was actually poisoning thousands. Poisoned Water shows not just how the crisis unfolded in 2014\, but also the history of racism and segregation that led up to it\, the beliefs and attitudes that fueled it\, and how the people of Flint fought – and are still fighting today – for clean water and healthy lives. \n
