![]() I’m especially hungry for more middle grade. ![]() Let’s nurture the next generation of activists and advocates! Climate change and pollution (still looking for a great book about plastic) are topics I very much want to see more books about across all ages. ![]() I’m particularly passionate about the environment, conservation, animal welfare, and social justice and these are all themes I’m always happy to see in picture books. I would especially love to see more biographies about young climate activists. I’d love to find more biographies and what some call “ficinformational” picture books (books with a fictional story that ties into the Common Core, or with a true-life story that has been fictionalized but includes factual back matter), a la Jess Keating’s EAT YOUR ROCKS, CROC! and Karen Jameson’s WHERE THE WEE ONES GO as examples of the former and Carole Lindstrom’s WE ARE WATER PROTECTORS and Laurel Neme’s THE ELEPHANT’S NEW SHOE for the latter. (Science! Biographies! Common Core topics made fun!). I’m also on the hunt for nonfiction picture books. I’m looking for picture books that inspire emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and empathy in a non-didactic way. And, on the other side of things, I’d like to find something sweet with a deeper meaning and beautiful language. I love irreverent character driven stories with a surprise ending or twist. ![]() I’m looking for picture books, middle grade, and YA (no chapter books please).įor picture books, I love to laugh. ![]()
