LGBTQ: Nonbinary them
Joyful and intricate collage illustrations accompany the celebration of a nonbinary school-aged child. With short, rhyming sentences and positive energy (without a negative side story), this would make an excellent book to introduce and/or support nonbinary children.

Sometimes bad things happen, so give what you can. Simple acts of kindness and reassurance spread through a school and community. No new ground is tread with this subject but the oil illustrations are incredible and the subject of paying it forward is always worth revisiting.

Grandpa asks Daniel, "What's new with you?" His response? "I don't know yet. I'll go find out." Daniel proceeds to walk around the park asking natural objects, animals, and plants what's new with them during the spring season of change. I love that the natural things respond back, an imaginative way of presenting the idea of mindfulness and observation in nature.
Beautiful artwork, a charming protagonist, and the celebration of nature make this a winner.

Daisy really wants to be the line leader on her class fieldtrip but her teacher will only choose the best listener. As Mrs. Dill begins her lesson, clouds start gathering around Daisy's head and she is unable to focus. She is disheartened but not defeated! Daisy draws the lesson and an impressed Mrs. Dill gives Daisy a special job for the fieldtrip.
Goldfinger uses blue, fluffy clouds as a charming visualization of a distractible imagination. A touch of humor and a problem to solve make this neurodiverse-affirming book perfect for the daydreamers out there.

An informative, historically accurate overview that was not afraid to mention the "unflattering" aspects of Gandhi's life (early loyalty to the British crown). Simple black and white paintings add ambiance with simplicity.
Appendices: chronology, map, additional facts about Gandhi after the separation of Pakistan and India

The love between a child and mother is tenderly celebrated as they marvel in their mutual love for mama's panza. The soft illustrations of various body types highlight the author's gentle delivery that bellies are beautiful and have distinct and loving purpose, whether that be to beat like a drum, hide a shy child, or grow a baby.
What a beautiful book to give comfort to mothers adjusting to new bodies and children being raised to love their own.

Noor doesn't have the right ingredients to make Dadijaan's special samosa recipe but that won't stop her from making her own unique fillings. I can't believe I read this while I was hungry!

Emotions: Anxiety, racing thoughts
A mother encourages her sleepy daughter to fill her mind with happy thoughts instead of worries that may keep her up at night. A bit of an oversimplification for anxiety, but it is one technique for sleepless nights.
