​

Don't Forget (Jane Godwin, Anna Walker):
Little Cub Literacy: 
“This gorgeously illustrated read is a reminder to our children to focus on the little joys in life.”

Everything Under the Sun (Molly Oldfield):
Oh, the Books We Love!: “[A] beautifully illustrated book full of questions that young readers will likely have asked aloud or wondered to themselves before. … I love the idea of reading aloud a question each evening and letting everyone have a go at answering the question before revealing the true answer.”

Find Your Happy (Emily Coxhead):
Storymamas: “This book is a wonderful read aloud to share with a younger audience to help them learn their different emotions, as well as easy ways to try and self regulate.”

Martha Maps It Out (Leigh Hodgkinson):
Homeschoolingabhi: “Step into Martha’s world, packed with notes, witty humor, facts, and fun details. … Such a clever book introduces kids to maps and compass and teaches them how or where they belong in this universe. Like Martha, we decided to make our community map and brushed up on our directions.”

One More Try (Naomi Jones, James Jones):
Little Cub Literacy: “[S]uper cute, highlights all the 2D shapes necessary for common core standards, and shows problem solving.”

Otters vs. Badgers (Anya Glazer):
Nanny Miss Monique: “Underneath this adorable and humorous tale lies a lesson about finding the good in us all despite our differences. Glazer does an incredible job creating this world for the reader and laying out the emotional conflict that is keeping these very similar groups apart.”
​
The Smile (Marie Voigt):
Nanny Miss Monique: “From the time you lay your eyes on the beautiful cover highlighted by gold foil print, you’ll be grinning ear to ear. This book also celebrates global diversity, music, education, and community, with intentional mindful wordplay and sweet, gorgeous illustrations.”

This Boy Can Do Anything / This Girl Can Do Anything (Stephanie Stansbie, Hazel Quintanilla):
Our World of Words: 
“[B]uild confidence in children and shows them that they can get up and try again if they get down. … very positive and encouraging …”

When You Joined Our Family (Harriet Evans, Nia Tudor):
Booklist: 
“[E]xtols the excitement of a child merging with the family, the many new experiences for both parent and child, and the permanence and security that adoption affords. … With endpapers depicting many of the families portrayed, this makes a reassuring introduction for young adoptees.”

Red Riding Hood and the Three Billy Goats Gruff (Tracey Turner, Summer Macon):
Nanny Miss Monique: 
“[A] clever re-telling full of gut-splitting humor, and beautiful artwork which will easily make it a favorite among early readers.”
