This is a strange book about a grandmother and her granddaughter who explore New York city together by magically flying. It was very peculiar so it kept me engaged. It would be a great book for a Spanish speaker because it intermingles Spanish phrases and culture in the book.

A Crayon's Story is one of the most unique children's books I have ever read.
It is focused around a blue crayon who has a red label. His peers and teachers try to force him to be red when he truly is blue and his struggle to be what he really is shown. This is a very culturally relevant book that could be used to display the celebration of diversity.
