I chose this book because it shows children how important the role of a sibling is. It also has a deeper meaning, teaching children about acceptance and the importance of being aware of what others may be going through. This author also has other books in her collection that are powerful.

I chose this book because it is one that I already own. I purchased it for my daughter in Spanish and I was amazed at how colorful and informational this small book with pop-ups was. It tells how the moon changes shape, how astronauts travel to space, and why it looks the way that it does.

I chose this book because once again, it has more than one message. This book teaches children how we inherit traits that make us look the way that we do. It also teaches of acceptance because while we are different, we are the same.

Grow Happy by: Jon Lasser and Sage Foster-Lasser

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this book because I love a story that has a double meaning. Children go through a lot at such a young age so any opportunity to help them build character is a bonus to me. This book talks about a little gardener who is giving her plants all that is required for them to survive. In the process, it also helps children understand what they need to be happy.

I chose this book because it looks fun, with bright colors. It discusses the weather but in a way that will not make children feel like they are being taught a lesson. It shows patterns of weather as we move through the seasons and does not focus solely on hot, cold, sun, snow.

Freddy the Frogcaster and the Terrible Tornado by: Janice Dean

This book tells the story of Freddy, a frog. He is met with severe weather, a tornado is coming their way. I like this book and would use it in my classroom as a way to teach children the importance of taking precautionary measures that could save their lives. It would be a good opening for a tornado drill done by the school.

Does a Woodpecker Use a Hammer? By: Harriet Ziefert

# data[].attributes.body
This book teaches students how animals like woodpeckers use the environment to meet their needs. I chose this book because it is said to be playful and colorful. Those two things are sure to grab the attention of young children.  Educational books can be too informational and overwhelming for some children, in my opinion. This book is kid-friendly and educational.

# data[].attributes.body
This book teaches Issac Newton's laws of motion in a very kid-friendly way. The story tells the adventure of a boy and his dog, Newton. They go through their day involved in motion and stability activities, like throwing a ball. I chose this book because it involves the everyday life of a typical kindergartener, making it relatable.
