This book is so nice. It is happy becauseMelena is happy about what she has, and she makes good choices and thinks aboutother people. She decides not to be rude, like she knows she can hurt herbrother but decides not to, and then she feels really good about doing goodthings. You will like reading about how Melena has a fresh start. You can havea fresh start every day, too!, "Elliott (Bird) weaves a contemplative and thought-provoking story of new beginnings as a brown-skinned girl named Melena wakes up "with a song in my heart." ...Befitting the sense of grace that Melena clings to, Boyd's (Luigi and the Barefoot Races) vibrant mixed-media images evoke the heft and poise of stained glass windows, whether showing Melena and her elders picking garden vegetables or the girl and her friends perched on the jungle gym, gazing at swirling clouds. An extensive author's note delves into the historical concept of jubilee and ties the book's messages to grassroots activism, social justice, and community self-improvement. Ages 4-10. (Oct.)", Little Melena learns the power of a fresh start... In Melena, Elliott creates a thoughtful, upbeat character whose impulses are convincingly childlike. In between her musings on fresh starts, she plays with her friends (a multiracial group) and helps her grandmother harvest lunch from the garden...Boyd's bright, multimedia illustrations depict a warm, loving family and a cheery urban neighborhood. An author's note provides context on the concept of jubilee--forgiveness--and tips for readers on making their own fresh starts. This cheerful meditation on starting over features a character that's hard not to love. (Picture book. 4-7), Melena awakes to a beautiful day with the feeling of new possibilities in her heart. The day before, one of Gramma's friends tripped over toys Melena forgot to put away, and the fall caused her mother's vase to break. On this morning, Melena puts her toys away, makes her bed, and chooses peace and kindness--she doesn't hit her brother with a pillow and doesn't ask for money she had lent out the previous week.Instead, she shares what she has and looks for ways to enjoy the things that are sometimes taken for granted. Colorful, collage like illustrations of brown-skinned Melena and her friends and family appear in rich, saturated tones and bright backgrounds, evoking the sunshiney atmosphere of the story. An author's note provides some additional background about the history of the Day of Jubilee and its importance to the African American community. Young readers might be moved to consider a more positive outlook after reading about Melena's kind choices and reflect on her wisdom as she appreciates the day from the start., "Elliott (Bird) weaves a contemplative and thought-provoking story of new beginnings as a brown-skinned girl named Melena wakes up "with a song in my heart." ...Befitting the sense of grace that Melena clings to, Boyd's (Luigi and the Barefoot Races) vibrant mixed-media images evoke the heft and poise of stained glass windows, whether showing Melena and her elders picking garden vegetables or the girl and her friends perched on the jungle gym, gazing at swirling clouds.

Instead of forcing her way through the day, Melena considers others first and treats the day as a fresh start, putting all her problems from yesterday behind her. Recommended for one-on-one reading with older pre-readers, or for independent reading for young readers.

Synopsis
Forgive and be forgiven. It sounds so appealing--why doesn't it happen every day? Finding herself forgiven on a rain-scrubbed morning after a difficult day, Melena seizes her fresh start and shares the song in her heart with her family and friends. It's a day of new beginnings. It's Melena's jubilee. This story introduces children to the concept of jubilee, which stresses the important principles of debt relief, generosity, and forgiveness. Aaron Boyd's mixed-media illustrations are as bright and vivid as a sun-washed day. "I write predominantly about Black children because I grew up believing I was invisible in the real world, and it hurt just as much to discover that I was also invisible in the realm of the imaginary. I write the books I wish I had had as a child." --Zetta Elliott, Forgive and be forgiven. It sounds so appealing-why doesn't it happen every day?
