A Sky-Blue Bench
It's Afghan schoolgirl Aria's first day back at school since her accident. She's excited, but she's also worried about sitting on the hard floor all day with her new prosthetic 'helper-leg.' Just as Aria feared, sitting on the floor is so uncomfortable that she can't think about learning at all. She knows that before the war changed many things in Afghanistan, schools like hers had benches for students to sit at. If she had a bench, her leg would not hurt so much. The answer is obvious: she will gather materials, talk to Kaka Najar, the carpenter in the old city, and learn to build a bench for herself. In A Sky-Blue Bench, Bahram Rahman, author of The Library Bus, returns again to the setting of his homeland, Afghanistan, to reveal the resilience and resolve of young children—especially young girls—who face barriers to education. Illustrator Peggy Collins imbues Aria with an infectious spunkiness and grit that make her relatable even to readers with a very different school experience.

Fragrance of the Qur'an
Many Muslims and non-Muslims are unaware of the Qur'an's deeply spiritual verses-words that inspire inner transformation, love, and wisdom. Fragrance of the Qur'an explores these often-overlooked passages, offering reflections that transcend religious boundaries. Imam Jamal Rahman draws on sacred teachings, Sufi wisdom, and the poetry of Rumi to reveal the Qur'an's message of spiritual growth, surrender, and divine connection.
