The Book Rescuer: How a Mensch from Massachusetts Saved Yiddish Literature for Generations to Comeby Sue Macy
Over the last forty years, Aaron Lansky has jumped into dumpsters, rummaged around musty basements, and crawled through cramped attics. He did all of this in pursuit of a particular kind of treasure, and he’s found plenty. Lansky’s treasure was any book written Yiddish, the language of generations of European Jews. When he started looking for Yiddish books, experts estimated there might be about 70,000 still in existence. Since then, the MacArthur Genius Grant recipient has collected close to 1.5 million books, and he’s finding more every day.

Samuel Morse, That's Who!: The Story of the Telegraph and Morse Codeby Tracy Nelson Maurer
Back in the 1800s, information traveled slowly. Who would dream of instant
messages? Samuel Morse, that’s who! Who traveled to France, where the famous
telegraph towers relayed 10,000 possible codes for messages depending on the signal
arm positions—only if the weather was clear? Who imagined a system that would use
electric pulses to instantly carry coded messages between two machines, rain or
shine? Long before the first telephone, who changed communication forever? Samuel
Morse, that’s who! ISBN

Liberty Arrives: How America’s Grandest Statue Found Her Homeby Robert Byrd
America’s most iconic national symbol was a gift from France to the United States—provided America raised the money for the pedestal on which it was to stand. Urged on by the publisher Joseph Pulitzer, it was raised, largely with the help of children, in the first example of a crowd sourced fundraising campaign. This book tells the story of the best gift ever: how it was designed, created, transported, and then finally erected on its pedestal in the entrance to New York Harbor. Readable text is enhanced with illustrations chock full of historical detail in Bob Byrd’s light-hearted, witty style. ISBN

Crossing on Time: Steam Engines, Fast Ships, and a Journey to the New Worldby David Macaulay
Prior to the 1800s, ships crossing the Atlantic Ocean relied on the wind in their sails to make their journeys. But the invention of steam power ushered in a new era of transportation that would change ocean travel forever: the steamship. This book artfully explores the design and construction of the most advanced—and last—of these steamships, the SS United States, and the life of its designer and engineer, William Francis Gibbs. ISBN

O Captain, My Captain: Walt Whitman, Abraham Lincoln, and the Civil Warby Robert Burleigh
Whitman and Lincoln shared the national stage in Washington, DC, during the Civil War. Though the two men never met, Whitman would often see Lincoln’s carriage on the road. The president was never far from the poet’s mind, and Lincoln’s “grace under pressure” was something Whitman returned to again and again in his poetry. Whitman witnessed Lincoln’s second inauguration and mourned along with America as Lincoln’s funeral train wound its way across the landscape to his final resting place. This book tells the story of one of America’s greatest poets and how he was inspired by one of America’s greatest presidents. ISBN
