Here Wee Read is a blog written by a woman named Charnaie. She has a passion for connecting people to diverse and inclusive books. I felt that I was really able to connect with her through her blog and that helped build a lot of trust. She has multiple different book lists that I thought were really inclusive. For example, "books about self esteem, anti bullying" and "books about sharing and manners." Her blog has a very different perspective than a lot of my other resources so I thought it would be really important to include.

The Children's Book-A-Day Almanac is a blog by Anita Silvey that posts a new children's book recommendation every day. One thing that stood out to me is that she also predicts what children's books she believes are on their way to becoming classics. I like this source because it provides a lot of great book recommendations with very in depth reviews of each book. It is evident that Anita is very passionate about this endeavor. I would love to use some of her recommendations in my classroom.

The Association for Library Service to Children is an organization dedicated to library service for children. Even though this is a professional organization there was one aspect of this website that I found worthwhile. This resource lists common children's literature awards such as, the Newbery Medal, Caldecott Medal, Geisel Medal, etc. The source then provides a list of all the books that have won that particular medal in the past. I thought this was a very cool idea and I would trust the literature that had received these awards.

Reading Rockets is a source to help struggling readers build phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension skills. I have read a lot of really informative articles on Reading Rockets before but I didn't realize until this assignment that they provide children's books recommendations. They have a book finder tool which allows for teachers to create their own booklist. They also have a number of themed booklists that would make finding a specific type of book a lot easier. I trust this source a lot because I've used it in many of my college classes so I would be very willing to use it for a children's literature recommendation.

I think that some times the value of picture book art can be overlooked and this source highlights that. On the museum website they have a bookshop blog that includes picture book recommendations, reading inspired activities, and booklists. I would be really excited to use The Eric Carle Museum to find a piece of children's literature.
