This collection of books are ones that didn't fit into any other category -- but sometimes the outliers are the ones worth watching!
Are You Big? by Mo Willems
"The bold bright illustrations appeal to students and the text is easy to follow. Love the idea that students are taken on a tour of the universe in terms that they can relate to." -- nominator
Lefty: A Story That Is Not All Right by Mo Willems
One Chicken Nugget by Tadgh Bentley
"This story teaches a great lesson of being careful what you wish for with vibrant pictures and intriguing characters. My students who have read it love it!" -- nominator
When You Have to Wait by Melanie Conklin
"I have recommended this book to so many families that have a loved one traveling and the child is struggling with waiting. Waiting is very hard for children and this is such a simple story to spark conversations with families." -- nominator
The Wrong Book by Drew Daywalt
"This silly book breaks the fourth wall and the kids love it. A bookmark is the narrator, which is perfect for reading at the beginning of the school year." -- nominator
