I have students who love sports so having a book written by Lebron James is a big hit! The pictures are very inclusive and it has a great message about following your dreams.

This book is great because it gives students a lot of different perspectives. The family is traveling and picks up people from all different backgrounds along the way. You are able to see how everyone has their own battles but can help one another out.

Students identify with the family. I used one with a different cover and my students assumed the family was white until chapter 3. This led to a great discussion about WHY they assume they are white.

I like this book because it discusses topics of bullying, unaccepting families and the hole that grief can leave. These are some big topics, but most Intermediate or Middle Schoolers can relate to.

I remember reading Tar Beach by Faith Ringgold with my students toward the end of the school year before summer... it is a wonderful story that is rooted in a cityscape and shows a family enjoying the summer time. The quilt based artwork provides interesting illustrations, and kids can create their own quilt sharing how their family celebrates the summer. It centers joy :)
