Abdul’s Story
A realistic look at what it takes to improve, this book will find a wide audience among other children who have struggled with words.

Will You Be My Friend?
The lessons of the book are questionable but the pursuit of friendship is an evergreen topic. Include this on the preschool shelves.

Big as a Giant Snail
This work fits into so many lessons, from endangered species to climate change and habitat preservation, that’s it’s hard to imagine a collection that would not benefit from having it on its shelves. Funny, fast-paced, and full of information.

Not a story as much as a workbook, this title brings even the youngest children into an important, essential conversation, and points a way to understanding and change.
PREMIUM
Love Was Inside
The pandemic shelf is still lightly populated; here’s a title that presents what’s happening in an upbeat, quietly joyful way.

Snail’s Ark
The miraculous flight aside, this tale has a lot to offer for little-snail-that-could devotees. For collections that don’t have Stewart’s It’s Hard to Hurry When You’re a Snail, this works for children of any faith.
