"This story recognizes the friendships in life that are truly built to last. I can't think of a Dan Santat (ill.) book that my students haven't liked -- and this one seems like it will be a crowd pleaser, too." -- nominator
Duck Duck Taco Truck by Laura Lavoie
A Friend for Eddy by Ann Kim Ha
"This is a clever mistaken-identity story. Great for teaching perspectives and pre-conceptions." -- nominator
A Friend Like No Otter by Nelly Buchet
"A great book about friendship that is just so cute!" -- nominator
The Three Little Mittens by Linda Bailey
"A fun take on individuality played out through mismatched mittens who learn to appreciate each other even when they don't MATCH. Lots of kid appeal and fun mitten and sock shenanigans." -- nominator
We Are Definitely Human by X. Fang
"The book is humorous and about kindness, but not in an overly "teachy" way." I think students would enjoy it a lot and teachers can use it to talk about what kinds of things humans can do to be kind." -- nominator
