There is nothing quite like the power a child feels when they open a book and discover they have the wonders of the world at their fingertips. It is imperative that students--especially at a young age--are given access to nonfiction texts that are both modern and engaging. I am a first year teacher, and my classroom library has been funded out of my own pocket. While it does have many wonderful books, the nonfiction section is desperately lacking. The books I have listed for this project are filled with vibrant illustrations and interesting text that address difficult concepts in a simple and inviting way. These nonfiction books will lay the groundwork for exciting intellectual conversations with my students that may be otherwise difficult to attempt. With these new books, my students will finally have access to nonfiction texts that are appealing, informational, and address the topics they are excited about. Many of the books I have chosen are culturally representative biographies of real scientists that I can use to teach my students that anyone can be a scientist, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. With a classroom library full of relevant nonfiction texts, I can easily encourage my students to conduct their own scientific research within the confines of our classroom. By providing students with fun nonfiction books, I hope to instill a love of nonfiction that will last them a lifetime.
