You will find books from a wide range of topics that deal with the young minds of today — stories which relate directly to the children to whom you read. Even though these are picture books, many of the selections have very powerful messages and are wonderful for 5th and 6th grades (or older).

Geisel (Dr. Seuss) Award The Geisel Award is given annually to the author(s) and illustrator(s) of the most distinguished American book for beginning readers published in English in the United States during the preceding year. 2021 Medal Winner See the Cat: Three Stories About a Dog, written by David LaRochelle, illustrated by Mike Wohnoutka, and published by Candlewick Press See the Cat: Three Stories About a Dog is a deceptively simple book that teaches readers the power of words. The simple text on the unadorned left page provides a stark contrast with the whimsical and expressive illustrations on the right. “Short and simple sentences pull children into Max’s interactions with the book’s narrator, and they will delight as Max eventually learns the power of words and takes agency over his own story,” said Geisel Award Committee Chair Lori Coffey Hancock. 2021 Honor Books There’s a loud, messy, and bossy member in the family.
