  Pulitzer Prize winner and celebrated American master N. Scott Momaday returns with a radiant collection of more than 200 new and selected poems rooted in Native American tradition.  
   
  “The poems in this book reflect my deep respect for and appreciation of words. . . . I believe that poetry is the highest form of verbal expression. Although I have written in other forms, I find that poems are what I want and need most to read and write. They give life to my mind.” 
  One of the most important and unique voices in American letters, distinguished poet, novelist, artist, teacher, and storyteller N. Scott Momaday was born into the Kiowa tribe and grew up on Indian reservations in the Southwest. The customs and traditions that influenced his upbringing—most notably the Native American oral tradition—are the centerpiece of his work. 
  This luminous collection demonstrates Momaday’s mastery and love of language and the matters closest to his heart. To Momaday, words are sacred; language is power. Spanning nearly fifty years, the poems gathered here illuminate the human condition, Momaday’s connection to his Kiowa roots, and his spiritual relationship to the American landscape. 
  The title poem, “The Death of Sitting Bear” is a celebration of heritage and a memorial to the great Kiowa warrior and chief. “I feel his presence close by in my blood and imagination,” Momaday writes, “and I sing him an honor song.” Here, too, are meditations on mortality, love, and loss, as well as reflections on the incomparable and holy landscape of the Southwest. 
  The Death of Sitting Bear evokes the essence of human experience and speaks to us all.

  This charmingly illustrated children’s book follows a note left for a friend as it embarks on a “delightful adventure through the great outdoors” (School Library Journal). In I Wrote You a Note, acclaimed children’s author and illustrator Lizi Boyd shares the story of a girl who writes a note and leaves it outside for her friend to find. When the note is picked up by a turtle, it embarks on a wild adventure as various woodland creatures use it for various purposes. For a duck and her ducklings, the note becomes a dock; for a spider, it becomes a bridge; and so on, until it finally makes its way to the intended recipient.  The repetition and rhythm of the spare text make this a captivating read-aloud story, while the humor and colorful characters make it perfect for young readers to follow on their own. The brilliantly colored paintings share the gentleness of the text while celebrating nature, curiosity, imagination, and friendship.

  In her second adventure in Cyberland with her friend Webby, Nettie is shocked to discover Charlie the dog pretending to be her after she had left her tablet device unlocked. 
  Young children may not be able to read words or design passwords, but they can begin to understand the importance of keeping things safe.  Parents and carers will also be opening a discussion about privacy which is important to small children outside of their use of computers and devices. Using the story of Nettie and Webby, adults can continue their introduction to cybersecurity that they began in the first books.  For young children it is not only about getting them to behave securely online, it is also about establishing a way children and adults can talk about cyber security as they grow.  In this book the start the conversation is around the importance of locking screens on devices, but where it goes from there is up to you. Academic research has shown the importance of planting the seeds of understanding of password safety with children as soon as possible so they develop good safe cyber habits. 
  Further discussion at the end of the book points towards a basic understanding about designing secure password security and the importance of keeping passwords private.
