This delightful tale is sure to resonate with Spanish speakers from all corners of the Americas, who grew up hearing this familiar tune.

Señora Sanasana guides her neighbors through the ups and downs of childhood, and her magical apartment is a safe place for her community to play and learn. Along the way, readers will be introduced to a host of colorful characters, each with their own unique problems and ailments that Señora Sanasana helps to cure. As the story unfolds, readers will find themselves caught up in the rhythm and flow of the language, which is expertly crafted to evoke the musicality of the original nursery rhyme. The story, co-authored by father-daughter duo Ashlee Campbell and Duncan Campbell, is written in uptempo verse and sprinkled with Spanish words and Peruvian references that reflect the authors' family heritage. From the catchy refrain of 'Sanasana colita de rana' to the lilting verses that describe Señora Sanasana's healing magic, this book is a true celebration of the Spanish language and its many rich traditions. Whether you are a native Spanish speaker or simply love the beauty and poetry of the language, Señora Sanasana is a must-listen book that will leave you feeling uplifted, inspired, and nostalgic for the simple joys of childhood.

    Summary:
    With striking prose and inspired by real wrongful conviction cases, this layered takedown of the criminal justice system follows one woman’s quest for answers as the fate of two innocent men hangs in the balance. Denver, 1992. Claudette Cooper, Moses King, and Dexter Diaz have been failed by the justice system. Claudette was sexually assaulted. Blinded by her perpetrator, she’s not able to identify him until she has a dream. As a result of that dream, Moses is wrongfully convicted. Dexter gave a false confession to murder after a grueling and unethical interrogation. Now, he faces a sentence of life without the possibility of parole. Musician turned lawyer Liza Brown has seen firsthand the failings and shortcomings of the justice system. Her father, Langston Brown, also suffered the injustice of a wrongful conviction. As she's working at a nonprofit to free those who have been wrongfully imprisoned and helping Dexter’s case, Moses reaches out to her. Liza sees the cracks in the evidence against Moses, and when he confesses that he knew her father, she’s determined to help even though his case doesn't qualify for the young innocence project. Recruiting her old friend Eli Stone to both men’s causes, Liza sets out to prove their innocence. But Eli is dealing with demons of his own. Corrupt cops are targeting the black residents of Denver, and when his nephew is beaten by the cops, Eli doubles down on his efforts to expose them. Frustrated, Liza turns to Moses’s accuser, Claudette, for help. But Claudette is hiding a dark secret, and as political tensions in Five Points rise, the city of Denver erupts in protests and riots. In the aftermath of injustice, destruction, and desperation, will hope persevere?

    Title: In My Humble Opinion: My So-Called Life
    Author: Soraya Roberts
    Narrator: Sharmila Devar
    Format: Unabridged
    Length: 3:58:45

    Genres: Non-Fiction, Social Science

    Summary:
    A smart, engaging investigation of the show that brought real teens to TV My So-Called Life lasted only 19 episodes from 1994 to 1995, but in that time it earned many devoted viewers, including the showrunners who would usher in the teen TV boom of the late ’90s and the new millennium. With its focus on 15-year-old Angela Chase’s search for her identity, MSCL’s realistic representation of adolescence on TV was groundbreaking; without her there would be no Buffy or Felicity, Rory Gilmore or Veronica Mars. The series’ broadcast coincided with the arrival of third-wave feminism, the first feminist movement to make teen voices a priority, and Angela became their small-screen spokesperson. From her perspective, MSCL explored gender, identity, sexuality, race, class, body image, and other issues vital to the third wave (and the world). To this day, passionate fans dissect everything from what Rickie Vasquez did for gay representation to what Jordan Catalano did for leaning, and Soraya Roberts makes an invaluable contribution to that conversation with In My Humble Opinion.
