Our librarian and I partnered closely on this project, knowing that these beautifully illustrated books would inspire students not only as readers, but also as young artists who learn through visual storytelling.\r\n\r\nOur English Language Development classes were the first to explore the new books. Students paired up, chose a picture book, and took turns reading aloud—alternating pages and helping one another with new vocabulary. After reading, they talked about the main message, what they learned, and how they might use that lesson in their own lives. Those conversations were full of thoughtful connections and genuine pride. Picture books are especially powerful for ELD students: the art supports comprehension, the concise text builds confidence, and the engaging language invites them to keep reading. Their written summaries afterward showed just how much these stories helped them grow as readers and thinkers.\r\n\r\nOur Science teachers are excited too—they'll be checking out picture book biographies like \"Comet Chaser: The True Cinderella Story of Caroline Herschel\" and \"Life After Whale\" for a fun, exploratory activity that introduces scientific ideas through story. These books make big concepts feel accessible, human, and inspiring.\r\n\r\nOne of the joys of this new collection is simply how beautiful it is. Whether it's the vibrant illustrations in \"Child of the Flower-Song People\" or the energetic storytelling in \"A Plate of Hope,\" each book draws students in with art and language that feel inviting, relevant, and full of wonder. These books are truly gorgeous!\r\n\r\nEven though they just arrived, these books will be used all year long—by history teachers, science classes, College and Career Awareness, and of course by students who browse and discover something new on their own!\r\n\r\nThank you for giving our students picture books that spark curiosity, build confidence, and make learning feel joyful.
