Call Number: 796.323 Ber
ISBN: 9781615705030
Stretch your legs, it's time to step On the Hardwood with the Los Angeles Lakers, in this officially licensed NBA team book. The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the preeminent franchises in the NBA.

From the team's original starting place in Minneapolis, to the Great Western Forum, and now, to Staples Center, 'On the Hardwood: Los Angeles Lakers' documents one of the most storied teams in professional sports and how they continue to stay in the championship mix to this very day.

Rules by Cynthia Lord
Call Number: F Lor
ISBN: 0439443830
Twelve-year-old Catherine just wants a normal life. Which is near impossible when you have a brother with autism and a family that revolves around his disability. She's spent years trying to teach David the rules--from "a peach is not a funny-looking apple" to "keep your pants on in public!"--in order to head off his embarrassing behaviours. But the summer Catherine meets Jason, a surprising new sort-of friend, and Kristi, the next-door friend she's always wished for, it's her own shocking behavior that turns everything upside down and forces her to ask: What is normal?

Miracle Mud by David A. Kelly; Oliver Dominguez (Illustrator)
Call Number: B Bla
ISBN: 0761380922
Lena Blackburne loved baseball. He watched it, he played it, he coached it. But he didn't love the ways players broke in new baseballs. Tired of soggy, blackened, stinky baseballs, he found a better way. Thanks to a well-timed fishing trip and a top-secret mud recipe, Lena Blackburne Baseball Rubbing Mud was born. For seventy-five years, baseball teams have used Lena's magic mud to prepare baseballs before every game. Read the story of how Lena's mud went from a riverbank to the major leagues and all the way to the Hall of Fame.

Baby Bear by Kadir Nelson (Illustrator)
Call Number: E Nel
ISBN: 9780062241726
Publication Date: 2014-01-07
From Kadir Nelson, winner of the Caldecott Honor and the Coretta Scott King Author and Illustrator Awards, comes a transcendent picture book in the tradition of Margaret Wise Brown about a lost little bear searching for home. This simple story works on so many levels: as the tale of a bear who finds his way home with the help of his animal friends; as a reassuring way to show children how to comfort themselves and find their way in everyday life; and on a more philosophical level, as a method of teaching readers that by listening to your heart and trusting yourself, you will always find a true home within yourself-and that even when it feels like you are alone, you never really are.
