Bears are Best! by Joan Holub and Laurie Keller
"This is a non-fiction picture book which is humorous, has bright expressive illustrations, interesting facts, and it compares all the types of bears found in the world." --nominator
How this Book Got Red by Margaret Chiu Greanias and Melissa Iwai
"...explains why it is important to have representation in books (in this case there are tons of Panda books, but no books about Red Pandas). This is such an important story and I don't think I've ever read another book that touches on this topic (especially in such a gentle, fun way.) I was so impressed by how effectively Greanias got the message across without it being too preachy, and Iwai's illustrations are delightful!" --nominator
