Alight
Client: Charlesbridge, Penguin Random House | Author: Jennifer Torres
Alight: How Urban Parrots Found New Places to Belong tells the story of the resilient red-crowned parrot and how the species found a new home in urban, sunny California from their native habitat of rugged slopes and wooded canyons of Mexico. More than seasonal migration, thousands of parrots thrive in their built community where they squawk and screech from the rooftops.
The book has already been selected as a Gold Standard title by the Junior Library Guild ahead of its June 9, 2026 release.
