Danny has a friend that some people can see and other people cannot.

Pure joy and the power of community radiate from this sweet picture book about a young Black girl’s perseverance and confidence in following her double Dutch dreams. Africa’s grandmother was a double Dutch legend, and Africa knows she can become the same. Her brother scoffs when she signs up for a double Dutch competition, though—how can she hope to compete when she’s never done it before? But Africa has all the tools she needs: memories of her grandmother, her bestie Bianca’s dance moves, her friend Omar’s rhythm, and her classmates’ Mary Mack timing and cartwheels. If Africa can pull everything together to jump some winning moves, she might just fly, but it’s the birthmark in the shape of her name that tells her she’s always been a winner.

"Texas reservoirs are famous for their big bass and sunfish; Texas Hill Country hosts spring-fed streams; on the vast Texas flats you can stalk red drum, seatrout, founder and more; in Texas' surf you will find tarpon, snook, jack crevalle; and beyond the surfline you can target tuna, sharks, barracuda, billfish, and many other species that live in the Gulf of Mexico. Texas Blue-Ribbon Fly-Fishing is a comprehensive guide to fly-fishing the state's fresh and salt waters. Covering the seven regions in Texas, Hicks discusses fresh- and saltwater fish species; the waters you'll find within each region; coastal history; Texas weather; dangers such as flash floods, snakes, alligators, scorpions, fire ants; and the most productive flies for fishing Texas' varied waters"--Page 4 of cover

Aviation books were a unique and prolific subgenre of American juvenile literature from the early to mid-20th century, drawing upon the nation's intensifying interest. The first books of this type, Harry L. Sayler's series Airship Boys, appeared shortly after the Wright brothers' first successful flight in 1909. Following Charles Lindbergh's solo flight across the Atlantic, popular series like Ted Scott and Andy Lane established the "golden age" of juvenile aviation literature. This work examines the 375 juvenile aviation series titles published between 1909 and 1964. It weaves together several thematic threads, including the placement of aviation narratives within the context of major historical events, the technical accuracy in depictions of flying machines and the ways in which characters reflected the culture of their eras. Three appendices provide publication data for each series, a list of referenced aircraft and an annotated bibliography; there is a full index.
