The Day the Books Disappeared by Joanna Ho
"Creative story about unexpected consequences. Super engaging illustrations." -- nominator
The Dictionary Story by Oliver Jeffers
"I think this is the most unique picture book I've read in a while! There is a ton of information within the book about it's creation, and so many little details that readers would love! The story is tremendous, and the little bespoke definitions included on the end pages and periphery of the story proper are delightful." -- nominator
Never Give a Baby a Library Card by Erin Sandberg
"Everyone loves babies, and this is a funny, empowering approach to planting seeds for lifelong learning." -- nominator
The Pass by Sara Laux Akin
"A heartwarming, satisfyingly circular tale of young athletes who are also dedicated readers. In quick tableaus, the protagonist experiences a myriad of relatable real-kid feelings as a best friend moves away and a new baby joins the family. A hand-me-down book dulls the ache and opens the door to a new friendship." -- nominator
