The Girl Who Built an Ocean: An Artist, an Argonaut, and the True Story of the World's First Aquarium by Jess Keating
"This book exposes children to narrative nonfiction and tells a really interesting story about the woman who created the first aquarium. Shark Lady is a very popular book in our school, and this book will surely have the same impact on students. These stories show children that every day normal people that work hard to follow their dreams can do amazing things and change the world for the better." -- nominator

Millie Fleur's Poison Garden by Christy Mandin

"Vibrant and moving illustrations." -- nominator
This is Not My Lunchbox by Jennifer Dupuis
