One of the best parts of summer (besides unlimited time for reading!) is having the opportunity to learn and grow as educators! Whether it is attending a conference, or a one-day Edcamp, my professional development is a summer priority for me. Sometimes that means presenting, and recently I had the privilege of doing just that, sharing #kidlit titles with teachers in my district.
I had to limit myself! After all, I only had an hour, and I was co-presenting with a fellow district librarian. As you can imagine, it was hard for me to decide! We each decided on a set. If I had to decide again, I would include more.
These are some of the titles I shared. Most were picture books (both are fiction and nonfiction) as teachers are busy looking for titles to include in their lessons and/or classroom libraries next year.
I gave a brief description of each and it was so fun to share them! I hope you find this list helpful!
Great concept for a picture book with satellite photos!

A delightful new character with an interesting way of solving mysteries!
A reverse timeline book about Harriet Tubman with poetic verse and the most lovely watercolor illustrations! A gorgeous book!
A cat who sees things in a different way! A great story based on the meaning of one word: catawampus.
Gorgeous photos that bleed off the page! Perfect for any unit on fall or the seasons! Read any and ll books by April Pulley Sayre.
The first in a an early reader series from Mac Barnett and Greg Pizzoli! Jack is a monkey that is always getting into trouble!
A wonderful Little Red Hen story with a twist! I loved Ruby and her spirit for learning new things! #makerspace, too!
Stories inspire imagination! From Peter Sís!
What if your tongue could act like a sword or straw? Fun nonfiction!
How did our homes begin? What natural resources were used to build them?
Beautiful gatefolds in this one! Perfect for a planting unit!
Ada Lovelace's story with detailed illustrations that include letters and numbers!
These weren't all of the titles, of course! I look forward to sharing with teachers again this summer and I am already compiling my next stack!
The Shoes:
Because it was summer, I wore jeans to this session! I decided that sandals were the way to go! The pair I wore was similar to this style and they are Baretraps shoes.
