Broken by X. Fang
"Beautiful story sprinkled with subtle humor and genuine emotion. Fang captures the fears and fun of childhood and the wisdom that comes with age in this gem of a book. Even though the title and cover illustration seem to tell the whole story, kids will be riveted by the characters' roles and reactions as the expected drama unfolds. This book is about empathy and owning up to your mistakes, but it comes with a healthy dose of X. Fang's humor, which delighted many of my students when we read "We Are Definitely Human" in 2025." -- nominators
Harold the Iceberg Melts Down by Lisa Wyzlic
The Humble Pie by Jory John
"This book is familiar to kids as it's a part of a "series", with digestible positive messages (being humble doesn't mean you can't shine!) and adorable illustrations I truly believe all children would benefit from the read." -- nominator
