Dear Stray by Kirsten Hubbard and Susan Gal
"A small girl chooses to adopt a kitten that she understands--they both need their own space when feeling moody which is presented acceptable. Gradually the two bond with one another through empathy and patience. The bold, striking, spikey illustrations really capture the character of the girl and cat and show how their relationship grows." --nominator
Flat Cat by Tara Lazar and Pete Oswald
"It's a refreshingly simple book that's also very funny." --nominator
Fluffy McWhiskers Cuteness Explosion by Stephen W. Martin and Dan Tavis
"Humorous books are always a huge hit. It's also the opportunity to highlight a NH illustrator." --nominator
Sometimes Love by Katrina Moore and Joy Hwang Ruiz
"This story has all 'the feels,' especially when the mother of a young girl gets deployed overseas and they relocate, leaving their family pet behind in the U.S. There are so many potential real-life connections for students, especially those in military families or who have ever owned a pet or moved to a new place." --nominator
