Extraordinary! (Penny Harrison, Katie Wilson):
Tons of Books and Bottles: “The text is lyrical and so fun to read aloud. I love how the typography is playful and filled with movement. The message of this book is incredibly important -- extraordinary moments are wonderful, but the smaller, more mundane, moments are beautiful too. … The illustrations are beautiful, diverse, and relatable.”
Two Teachers Writing: “Whether you’re about to embark on the 9th Annual Classroom Slice of Life Story Challenge or you’re about to begin a unit on poetry where you want to encourage students to capture the beauty of their ordinary lives in verse, consider using Extraordinary! as a mentor text.”
The Perfect Shelter (Clare Helen Welsh, Åsa Gilland):
Oh the Books we Love: “[Beautifully] portrays the experience a family goes through with life changing diagnoses, such as cancer.”
