Entertainment Film Review Check It Out We Are Growing! by Laurie Keller Reviewed by Kristina Kora-Beckman, Librarian, El Segundo Public Library This week, I’m reviewing one of the best early reader stories that I’ve come across recently: Laurie Keller’s We Are Growing! Full of puns, laugh-out-loud antics and relatable struggles, my kids and I thoroughly enjoyed this story that is literally about grass growing. Sounds boring, I know, but I promise it’s anything but. Part of the Elephant & Piggie Like Reading series, Mo Willems fans will enjoy the similar dialogue style, exaggerated reactions and included commentary from beloved Willems characters Elephant and Piggie. My kids also love finding the character Pigeon, another Willems favorite, who is usually hiding out somewhere in the front or back pages. Other titles we enjoyed from the Like Reading series include The Cookie Fiasco by Dan Santat and The Itchy Book by LeUyen Pham. Willems’ original Elephant & Piggie series is also not to be missed as the beloved friends go on adventures, discover new experiences and work through big emotions that all kids (and their parents) can relate to these days. To check out We Are Growing, or browse more Willems favorites, please visit the library to apply for your free library card. For more hilarious early reading picks and staff favorites, stop by our Youth Services Desk, our friendly Youth Services librarians would love to help you find your next great read! • We Are Growing! by Laurie Keller.

Native Son and Honey Boy Prove Riveting Watches at Sundance 2019 By Ryan Rojas for www.cinemacy.com Native Son, directed by Rashid Johnson Adapted from the classic 1940 novel, Native Son is the story of a young, low-income African American male, who, after securing employment in the world of a wealthy white family, finds himself at the center of an accidental death that puts him in the direct crosshairs of cultural tensions. Adapted from the classic 1940 novel, first-time feature film director Rashid Johnson (along with Pulitzer Prize-winning screenwriter Suzan-Lori Parks) have made this updated version entirely their own. By highlighting the story’s underlying social issues and wrapping them up in his polished punk aesthetic, it’s a tale that feels as timely now as it must have been then. It’s undeniable that Rashid Johnson is a flourishing visual artist and one who we should all be watching to see what he does next. The biggest obstacle holding Native Son back from being even more impactful is in the jumps in its tonal shifts, which happen when the story plays on and the stakes are raised. The story’s pivotal and climactic plot point is surprising, but this hard crank of the (Top) Noah Jupe in Honey Boy. Photo by Natasha Braier. (Bottom) Ashton Sanders in Native Son.
