For this week's #OPSuggests, Jenny recommends "Thank You, Omu!" and "Saturday" by Oge Mora: "Oge Mora's 'Thank you, Omu!' and 'Saturday' are two of my most favorite books to share when visiting young friends in their daycares or preschools. 'Thank you, Omu!' is a beautiful story about giving and receiving. 'Saturday' is a wonderful story about mindfulness and a reminder that it isn't always how you spend a day but who you spend it with that makes it special." Find them in the catalog at oppl.org/catalog and find more recommendations at oppl.org/we-suggest. #OakPark #OPReads

📚 This week Manager of Teen Services Stephen suggests: "The Best We Could Do" by Thi Bui. "Immigration has many effects on the family dynamic. Bui’s multiple life changes built her into the strong resilient woman she ultimately became. I strongly recommend this book if you love a good story of transitioning and reflection." All summer long, we're discussing six unique titles connected through one common theme: immigration, as part of our Many Voices, Many Stories series ➡️ oppl.org/many-voices #OPSuggests #OPReads #OakPark

📚 This week Middle School Services Librarian Beronica suggests: "'1919' is a definite must-read! Author Eve L. Ewing chronicles the nefarious ‘Red Summer’ race riots, a topic often overlooked in school history. She intertwines snippets of 'The Negro in Chicago: A Study on Race Relations and a Race Riot,' her own stylish poetry, and black-and-white images from the time period. In less than 100 pages, Ewing leaves readers feeling uncomfortable but aware of often unspoken accounts (such as the unfortunate deaths of Eugene Williams and Emmett Till). This quick read makes it clear that history is full of trauma; however, it is imperative to know the truth."
