163's Book of the Month: February 2025

In MAE AMONG THE STARS, young Mae has a dream. She wants to see Earth from space. Her mom tells her she'll have to become an astronaut, says anything's possible if she believes it and works hard for it, and takes her to the library for books about space and astronauts.

Abuelo’s daily ritual of walking Sofia to school comes to a halt when he injures his ankle at a local landfill, leaving Sofia (aka Sofi) to wonder what she can do about the hazardous Mount Trashmore. Determined to make a difference, Sofi envisions transforming the grim site into a park, and takes on City Hall as she strives to prove the impact one determined kid can have.
