This book does a really great job of representing many different physical or mental disabilities and treating them in a positive light. I would love to share this book with a classroom especially if any student feels discouraged because of a disability they have

One day his grandpa starts to get stuck and tell the same story over and over, and eventually he loses his balloons. This story faces memory loss and ends it in a positive note, telling the little boy that he can now share his balloons with his grandpa. I would use this book if I know that a student is struggling with a family member suffering from memory loss
This book is a very student friendly way to help students realize that some people are different, and it does a great job of not making those people feel less valuable than others. I might use this as a read aloud in a class where students might need help understanding the concept of neurodiversity
This book includes a ton of creepy cave animals with interesting facts and fun pictures. I would use this for a science and nonfiction section in a library for grades 3-6

This book tells students about the tar pits that captured many animals of all kinds and how we have discovered them today. It includes a timeline at the end of the book which would be fun for a research project. I would use this book in a nonfiction section of my library for 4-6th grade
This book uses a really cool art style to tell a fun fantasy story. I would keep this book in a classroom library because someone will enjoy flipping through it even if they don't have time to read the whole story. The pictures make it easy to follow along even if you aren't reading that closely. There is also some spanish woven into the story which you could use to suggest this book to a student who is struggling with reading english.
This book is a little hard to follow because it is made up of only black and white pictures with no words. There is a lot of sad animals and friendship and I think it could be a good book just to keep for kids who struggle with reading and you want to test their storytelling skills. It could work for any age
This graphic novel shows the story of two potatoes in a sack race and teaches about the importance of good sportsmanship and kindness. This book would be good to keep in a class library for 3rd or 4th graders
This story follows two native american baseball players and tells the story of how they came to be today. They face challenges from the public and are not treated the same as the other white baseball players. This is definitely controversial but teaches racism in the modern world.
This book is all about being proud of where you came from as a native american and the things they had to go through to get where they are now. It tells a brief history of many indigenous leaders and shows what you can be today because of them
This book is set in an classroom on indigenous peoples day and follows a few students who show what ways native americans are still here and still keep culture alive in the present age. This book is very wordy and uses some strong vocabulary so I would keep this for older aged kids, maybe middle school
This book shows a variety of people wearing their "mocs" and being proud of them in all different areas of life. It represents their culture in a significant but small way!
I would use this book as a read aloud for students when teaching about Native American culture today. I talks about tradition and culture in this family and how they are proud of their history
This book uses only imagery to depict the bravery, culture, and freedom of the native american people. This book might be confusing for a child to read on their own but it could also be relatable to some students
This book gives details to native american culture while focusing on a modern family and their car that has faithfully gotten them through so much together
This book depicts a modern native american girl who loves learning about her grandmothers traditions and wants to be like her. She watches her dance over and over and is proud of her heritage
This book tells an old story of a grandfather who is telling his grandson about his history. It feels very stereotypical because of its use of storytelling about native americans sitting my a fire and riding horses, but I might keep this book in a childrens library
My Antarctica: True Adventures in the Land of Mummified Seals, Space Robots, and So Much More by G. Neri
This book uses fun imagery to tell the true story of a trip taken to Antarctica. The writing style is very engaging by using humor and personal commentary along with imagery to tell the real story. This would be a great book to include in a classroom library for 4th-7th graders.
This book did a really good job of getting the message across that students are perfect just the way they are. It shows the recognition of a young girl who feels too fat in her body. She realizes that she doesn't need to change her body, she just needs to change her mind.
This book uses very few words to tell a story of a family fleeing from danger. It could be used in a read aloud to spark discussion and teach on black history or racism. Personally I did not think it was that engaging.
This book tells the story of a young black boy who is always surrounded by music. Music is his life and he makes it his passion to play the trombone. His efforts pay off as he becomes a successful musician.

This book is such a wholesome story about a black boy who lives on a farm and has to move to the city. He isn't allowed to share the white library so his new friends show him a black library in the woods that he can use. He brings a book home to his mom and his dad but he learns that his dad never learned how to read, so he reads the book to his dad.
This book is a little hard to follow and the visuals are kind of creepy. I probably wouldn't use this in my classroom but some students may enjoy it if they got it from the library. I would say around 4th or 5th graders
This book is a little longer and would be good to read over the course of a few days, or just do a longer read aloud. It could also be good in a small library in the classroom for silent reading with 4th or 5th graders
This book tells the story of a man who lives in a lighthouse tower and takes care of it. He misses his family and cherishes the moments when they get to visit. This would be a fun read aloud for 3rd-5th grade students
