Fourteen teachers and Ms. Small are participating in a discussion group to enhance knowledge and appreciation of children’s books while finding ways to connect them to our curriculums as well as to build community. For our classrooms, each group member received the following 22 books that include fiction picture books, nonfiction picture books, graphic novels, and young adult books to use with students.
