Vashti Harrison‘s self-illustrated picture book is a beautifully executed look at fat bias and its impact on young children. The text is sparse with the focus on the images of the nameless little girl as she endures the taunts and well-meaning but still hurtful comments from adults. It‘s wonderfully done and very moving such that I am still thinking about it. I‘d definitely read more of Harrison‘s work on the strength of this.

I‘m so glad this picture book won some ALA Youth Media Awards today! It‘s a fantastic and beautifully illustrated story of how words can hurt, but how we can also work to control our self-image. Many of my students picked this as the Caldecott winner! *Graphic via Little, Brown Books for Young Readers‘ instagram

I‘m doing a “Mock Caldecott” unit with my students in the library, and these are the books we are reading. They are so beautiful! We‘ll find out the real winner next week! #schoollibrarian

#AutumnPlease! Day 27: Nigel and the #Moon made me wonder why adults often assume that young people would only want to be one thing when they grow up. It also begs the question of how realistic should young people‘s dreams be. Maybe dreaming more than one dream is, in itself, a subversive, revolutionary act in a world that demands you to be only one thing, and never all than you can possibly be.

Eggs Agree! There are many dreams to follow 💫✨ 5mo

This is a great book for upper elementary students. The character is in eighth grade and would be good for students going into, or currently in middle school. This would be a good book to use in a book club or allow students to read independently. It is important to allow students to read books they are interested in, to help get them to read more frequently. This is a book that many students may be interested in at this age level.

This graphic novel is also a speculative fiction book. It is about a girl who is not-so-normal, but trying to act normal at school. Moth Hush has recently uncovered her powers, but even her best friend doesn't understand entirely what it is like. On top of all this, she has to deal with her mom dating one of her teachers.
