All Welcome Here by James Preller
This book walks through a little girl's first day of school! This book is realistic fiction, but it is told in the form of Haikus. Each haiku introduces a new character or aspect about the first day of school. This story tackles the issues many young students are faced with on their first day of school such as going to a new class, trying to make friends, and struggling to fit in. This book celebrates diversity and individuality.

Cleonardo, The Little Inventor by Mary GrandPre
What a beautiful book!It talks about Cleonardo, a young girl that comes from a long line of inventors. She admires her father's works and is inspired to create something to make him proud. I think a lot of kids can relate to this book. the book inspires children to be creative. When Cleonardo's father's invention starts to fail at the Invention Contest, it's her fast thinking and creative invention what saves the day.

This book won the Caldecott Award. there's so many great things about the ilustrations. The amount of detail from cover to cover is amazing. The more you see each page, the more things you find in it. She (Mary GrandPre) plays with colors and texture in a beautiful way.I personally loved the first page where Geonardo (the father) is in his workshop and in the wall are pictures of his ancestors Neandernardo (a neandethal), Sapphonardo (Sappho, the Greek poet), Magellanardo (Ferdinand Magellan) and Leonardo (Da Vinci).… (more)
