Activism: Environmental
To the backdrop of "One Love" by Bob Marley, a school-age girl and her community help rehabilitate a park by cleaning up garbage and planting a garden. Big illustrations, an ability to alternate between singing and reading, and a simple story make this a perfect all-ages storytime book.

"A day at the park. A ride on Daddy's back. Run, Daddy! Faster! Faster! How fast can Daddy go? Faster than a dog? A horse? How about a cheetah? Must his feet even touch the ground? Leslie Patricelli reprises the duo from Higher! Higher! in another humorous riff on a favorite pastime" (goodreads feature review).
Bold, attractive canvas paintings accompany this little girl's imagination. A fun twist at the end.

Words may seem small, but they can do big things like encourage, spread love and kindness, bring out the best in people, and let others know they're not alone. Warren focuses primarily on the impact of positive words yet doesn't forget to include the lasting power of words spoken in anger. Well balanced with a narrow focus, this book stands out in the ever-growing field of SEL books for kids.
As an evangelical pastor, Warren manages to keep the presence of God to a minimum, using the word only once (which can be exchanged for a more secular word like "we" or "the world" if needed).

Things that go: Spaceship
Stranded on the moon, a grade-school student makes friends with the gray inhabitants via art and color. Without words, emotions and relationships and the plot are expertly conveyed through Hare's illustrations. Aspiring artists will feel connected to the artist protagonist and can visualize how important artwork can be when telling a story.

Two bears are adamantly assertive that the big, comfy chair is, in fact, "mine!" While grumbling and trickery and playfulness ensue, an apology and forgiveness lead to an amiable ending. A great read-aloud to show children that fighting and bickering may occur in a friendship or between siblings, but we can all move on afterwards.

Han has a light, but not trite, writing style and the characters were charming, believable, and interesting. A sweet YA romance that I would have been obsessed with as a middle schooler.
The ending was a little too bizarre and unresolved for me. Lara Jean, integrity queen, is still reeling from a rumor that she slept with her "fake" boyfriend, and she believes that he has helped spread the rumor. But, on the last two pages, she decides to forgive him. Like whaaa?

Rhythmic text describes a girl's bedtime routine from dancing through the halls to jamming out with her sister to snuggling up into bed with dreams full of hip-hop. My 2-year-old loved the bouncing text, the energy, and, of course, the girl's name (Lollipop!).
