Leilah keeps losing things: her keys, pencils, socks. She thinks they have fallen into the Other Side & decides to fix the holes. Illustrations are from both sides of a Palestinian embroidery. This is deeply imaginative and will spark discussion among older readers.

Book cover of “Loose Threads” by Isol shows a Red cross-stitch embroidery of trees and houses on a black background. A cartoon girl is stitching a hole with blue thread.

Daily(ish) #SmallPress #books: Ro-Bo by Mariana Ruiz Johnson, translated by Lawrence Schimel, @orcabook.bsky.social & Sonja & Carl by Suzanne Hillier, @touchwooded.bsky.social. See alt-text.

Book covers for 1. Ro-Bo by Mariana Ruiz Johnson, translated by Lawrence Schimel, Orca Book Publishers: One morning Milo gets an unexpected gift—RO-BO, a robot ready for any adventure. Milo only wants to spend time with his new robot, and together they play video games, listen to stories and learn new skills, like how to make breakfast. Then Milo’s mother insists he go outside to play with other kids. RO-BO can help with that too! Soon Milo and some new friends are building a spaceship together, and RO-BO steps in to take them on a great adventure to another world. But disaster strikes when RO-BO uses too much energy and its batteries run down. It seems like hope is lost until the friends start playing catch with RO-BO and its battery charges through kinetic energy. By working together, the new friends find their way home and plan for their next amazing adventure. https://www.orcabook.com/RO-BO and 2. Sonja & Carl by Suzanne Hillier, TouchWood Editions: Sonja Danychuk, a serious and introverted student with dirt-poor immigrant parents, takes pride in her intellectual and academic achievements—essential skills to help her survive and eventually leave small-town Davenport in Northern Ontario. When her father is cut down by a fatal heart attack, Sonja must find a way to pay for university, so she agrees to tutor Carl Helbig despite her strong aversion to his jock-like persona. Carl graduates and heads toward becoming Rookie of the Year for the Boston Bruins, but concussion-prone, he finds himself in the brain trauma unit of the Toronto General. He and Sonja are once again drawn together, but this time the risks are life-threatening. https://touchwoodeditions.com/products/sonja-amp-carl
