Dina the Deaf Dinosaur by Carole Addabbo

Dina the Deaf Dinosaur by Carole Addabbo

# data[].attributes.body
This book was published in 1998 and all of the illustrations are done by water color! This book is all about a deaf dinosaur, Dina, running away from home because her parents won't let her learn sign language! She meets friends in the forest and they slowly teach her sign language! Dina feels so accepted that people are willing to learn her language. This book is important to me because both of my parents are deaf so it was important for me to know about deaf culture from a young age. I remember my mom and dad signing this book to me while reading, it is one of my core memories. This book is really good to bring awareness to deaf culture!

Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother, Too? by Eric Carle

# data[].attributes.body
This book was published in 2000. This book is all about different kinds of animals and if they have mothers or not. I remember reading this book with my mother when I was young. I always remember reminding myself growing up that every animal has a mother and father growing up. This book has impacted me up until today! For example, I decided to become vegan back in August 2021. I remember making that decision, while thinking of this simple book I used to read with my mom about how all animals have mothers too. I have always been an animal mother and I do believe it is because this book being read to me as a young child really set the thought in my head that animals have families like you and I!

This book was published in 2003. This book is about a young student, Vashti, who has a creative block and can't think of what artwork to create! Her art teacher tells her to come up with something, anything. She puts a dot on her paper and signs her name. By the next week, her artwork of the dot is hung up in her teacher's room! Vashti then got inspired and started painting all different color dots on different pieces of paper. She then starting mixing colors, and trying new sizes for her dots! She showcased all of her dots at the school art show. She has an interaction with a boy who claims he can't draw, not even lines. She handed him a piece of paper and says "show me." After he does, she says "please sign it." This book was read to me by my art teacher. It is such an important book because it shows that we can amount to anything, we just have to start first. Whenever I am in a creative block, I always find myself thinking of this book.

Have You Filled a Bucket Today? by Carol McCloud

# data[].attributes.body
This book was published in 2006. It was actually re-illustrated in 2015.  It is all about how we can share kindness everyday! I remember my parents both reading this to me. This book is all about a bucket (this is a metaphor) that sticks with you and can fill up depending on what we say or do and what others say or do to us! This book talks about how we can be bucket fillers by spreading kindness and appreciation! We can also be bucket dippers by being mean, and taking away people's kindness. We want to be bucket fillers! I really like this book because as a child I remember imagining having a bucket at school, at the grocery store, in the doctor's office, etc! It encouraged me to spread appreciation and kindness and I know this would be a really good book to share kindness and what it can do in people's lives to our students!

This book was published in 2012. I read this book in middle school, and then I re-read it in high school before the movie came out. It is such a good book about how looking different does not challenge your potential. I also love this book because it gives you a different perspective/outlook. We really see how words and gestures can really break someone down. This book is about a boy, Auggie, who was born with a facial difference who has to attend a public school. He is so nervous because he knows that he does not look like everyone else. He has a hard time adjusting, as some people are really mean. This book takes us through Auggie's perspective while he learns to accept who he is. It is an amazing read!

This book is one of my favorites when it comes to speaking on African American culture through a child's eyes. This book was published in 2020! This girl speaks about how black is her color, and there is culture and importance that comes with her color. I love how this book illustrates being proud of who you are and where you came from. This book would be perfect for Black History Month!

I absolutely love this book! This book was published in 2020. When we look throughout history, and even now, marching is a way of standing up for what you believe in. In this country, we have had to stand up together to make a difference. This book is all about people coming together and to march for what we believe in! I think this book is so cool. It shows students that when people come together, a change will be made. Although this does not focus on one specific culture, many different cultures have had to march to receive rights, or just to be treated equally. I think this book is a wonderful gateway to many lessons.

This book was published in 2019. This book showcases different special days and holidays in different cultures! I like this book as it showed me holidays I had never even heard about!

This book was published in 2020. I was originally introduced to the book during my Level 1 Internship. The school I was located at would focus on a specific culture every month. They were focusing on Ethiopian culture one month, and my CT read this book to her class. It is all about a little girl who got embarrassed and is trying to make friends by using one of her family traditions. She makes bunas for her class and it ends up going really well! I really enjoy this book.

These books were published between the years of 2008-2010. I read these books in middle school. It is all about a society where the rich and poor are separated, and there is a lot of corruption. The poor are treated terribly, and the rich are treated too well. Katniss is the main character that we see progress and attempt to change the society she lives in. She experiences a lot of heartbreak and loss. I would recommend these books to middle schoolers, as thats when I read them. The author does an amazing job writing and telling this story.

This book was published in 1975. I remember reading this book in elementary school and fell in love. Social studies/history was always my favorite subject (and still is to this day). My teacher always recommended these types of books to me. This book reminds me of the Disney movie "Mulan" as we see in both settings a women dressing and acting like a man to go fight in war. I definitely recommend this book!

This book was published in 2010. This book is so cool! The first time I read it I was fascinated by the pop-ups and 3D illustrations! This book includes many different myths and legends, not just Greek! It is so awesome but it is pricey. My 2nd grade teacher had this book in her classroom given to her as a birthday gift.

This book was originally published in 1952. I love this book as it shows the true story of friendship. It is such a sweet book that I believe children of all ages can enjoy. This book is a classic when it comes to literature. This book is all about a friendship between a spider named Charlotte, and a pig named Wilbur. Fern, the little girl on the cover of the book, saves Wilbur as he was the smallest pig out of all of his siblings. She raises him and grows a bond to him. This story is amazing, and I have loved this book since a young age. I cannot wait for all of my young readers to enjoy it as well!

Each book focuses on a specific teacher and what makes them "weird" or "crazy." These are smaller chapter books, so they are easy to read. There are also illustrations, which is even better!

This book was published in 2018. I actually had quite the group of students in my intern class recommend this book to me. So, of course, I read it (didn't need too much convincing to read a book)! This book represents friendship and bonding. In this book, if a unicorn and human bond, a strand of the person's hair will change to the same color as the unicorn's mane. In this book specifically, it revolves around Ava and Star who feel like they have bonded, but Ava's hair has not changed color yet! What will happen now...?

This book was published in 2014! This book is the sequel to the first book "Dolphin Tale" which is actually listed right above. This book also is based on a movie, that is inspired by the true story of Hope (Winter's "co-star"). Hope was rescued by Clearwater Marine Aquarium in 2010, which is 5 years after Winter was rescued! This is another sweet story of humans interacting peacefully with aquatic life, which I love to see. When I was young, reading stories like these always warmed my heart!

This book was published in 1980. I remember reading all of the Roald Dahl books when I was younger. These books make me crack up and laugh so, so hard! This book in particular is pretty funny. This book is all about The Twits. They are a married couple who hate everything except rather malicious things.  They own monkeys, which they call "Muggle-Wumps" and the Twits make them stand on their heads every... single... day! These monkeys have had enough and are going to try to plot revenge on the Twits, for making them do these terrible things.

This book was published in 2007. This book is all about a character named Michael Arroyo. He plays baseball and is AMAZING at it. But, his home life is not so amazing. He was recently orphaned, and only has one family member, his brother. He is scared of being separated from his brother, as it is the only person he has left. They work together alone, steering clear from the foster-care system. He becomes so famous due to baseball, that people want to know his backstory! He has no personal documentation, and is "outed" to the world (his situation). He finds family with the most unexpected people. This book is so heartwarming, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a good read.
