Featured Book of the Month –  This year’s Newbery Award winner, When You Trap a Tiger, is a beautifully written book that combines Korean folktales with main character, Lily’s, quest to help her sick grandma.  Part realistic fiction and part magical realism, Tae Keller tells a vivid story about family and the stories that keep our loved ones with us for generations.
