But when he messes with Dad’s motorcycle and Mabel’s computer tablet, he’s gone a step too far and the whole family agrees--Santa’s gotta go!

The predominately white townsfolk have been waiting for Henson to play high-school ball, and now they're overjoyed to finally possess an elite Black athlete of their own. Until a horrifying incident forces Henson to speak out about injustice. Until he says that he might not play football anymore. Until he quickly learns he isn't as loved by the people as he thought. In that moment, Henson's town is divided into two chaotic sides when all he wants is justice. Even his best friends and his father can't see eye to eye. When he is told to play ball again or else, Henson must decide whether he was born to entertain people who may not even see him as human, or if he's destined for a different kind of greatness. Written for children ages 10 and up, Derrick Barnes's groundbreaking novel masterfully combines a modern-day allegory with classic-style tall tales to weave a compelling story of America's obsession with relegating Black people to labor or entertainment. Spanning the 1800s to today, this exceptional story shows how much has changed over centuries ... and, at the same time, how little." -- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4311114</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4311114</guid><category><![CDATA[PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Barnes, Derrick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4311114105</comments><format>PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798331706050/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=on1532795216</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Slumber Party Payback]]></title><description><![CDATA[Ruby wants to get back at her brother Roosevelt because he played tricks on her and her friends at her last slumber party.]]></description><link>https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3117171</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3117171</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Barnes, Derrick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3117171105</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780545017626/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=0216940318</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Incredibly Human Henson Blayze]]></title><description><![CDATA[""Derrick Barnes takes all forms of storytelling available to him­--allegory, folktales, and classics--to weave a novel that is empowered, empowering, and incredibly human.You won't be the same after reading it."" --Erin Entrada Kelly, two-time winner of the Newbery Medal * ""Bold, extraordinary storytelling: not to be missed."" -- Kirkus Reviews ...]]></description><link>https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4275013</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4275013</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Barnes, Derrick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4275013105</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781984836762/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1535978028</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crown]]></title><description><![CDATA[The barbershop is where the magic happens. Boys go in as lumps of clay and, with princely robes draped around their shoulders, a dab of cool shaving cream on their foreheads, and a slow, steady cut, they become royalty. That crisp yet subtle line makes boys sharper, more visible, more aware of every great thing that could happen to them when they look good: lesser grades turn into As; girls take notice; even a mother's hug gets a little tighter. Everyone notices. A fresh cut makes boys fly. This rhythmic, read-aloud title is an unbridled celebration of the self-esteem, confidence, and swagger boys feel when they leave the barber's chair-a tradition that places on their heads a figurative crown, beaming with jewels, that confirms their brilliance and worth and helps them not only love and accept themselves but also take a giant step toward caring how they present themselves to the world. The fresh cuts. That's where it all begins. Crown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut is a high-spirited, engaging salute to the beautiful, raw, assured humanity of black boys and how they see themselves when they approve of their reflections in the mirror]]></description><link>https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3636072</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3636072</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Barnes, Derrick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3636072105</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Incredibly Human Henson Blayze]]></title><description><![CDATA[LONGISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD • Newbery Honoree Derrick Barnes tackles timely issues of race and prejudice in this powerful, nuanced novel about an accomplished Black boy who strives to be seen for who he is."A novel that is empowered, empowering, and incredibly human.
