BRANCHES OF THE VINE- My G-Tube Fills My Tummy Paperback
By: Shanice Solan
The Branches Of The Vine series was created with the likeness of diversity in mind. No child should be left out because of their disability or special needs, neither should they be made to feel different from those around them in any negative way. The author Shanice Solan would like to bring awareness to children and parents who may encounter others with physical disabilities and or medical needs like the ones in this book's series. Some eat different from others, talk different from others, see, hear, play, walk, understand and move around different from others; But just like you and just like me, we have our own unique differences that makes us who we are today. The Branches Of The Vine series dares you, to embrace that thing that makes you different. Be bold, wear that disability and or that special needs like it is the CAPE of your very own superhero.

Seven Days in June
By: Tia Williams
"When Shane and Eva meet unexpectedly at a literary event, sparks fly, raising not only their buried traumas, but the eyebrows of the Black literati. What no one knows is that 15 years earlier, teenage Eva and Shane spent one crazy, torrid week madly in love. While they may be pretending not to know each other, they can't deny their chemistry - or the fact that they've been secretly writing to each other in their books through the years."
