Remarkably You – Pat Zietlow Miller

Remarkably You is a wonderful picture book that provides encouragement to embrace your unique you-ness.  Uplifting text is coupled with delightful illustrations.  This book would be a phenomenal resource to use at the beginning of the school year no matter what age learners you might be working with this year.

When You Are Brave – Pat Zielow

When You a Brave explores finding courage within yourself.  It is a lovely book that includes beautiful illustrations and rich use of literary devices.  Although a picture book, it would make a terrific read aloud for older students.

My Side of the Mountain – Jean Craighead George

I revisited this classic and so enjoyed it.  My Side of the Mountain shares the adventures of Sam Gribley as he spends a year living alone in the Catskill Mountains.  His ability to live self sufficiently with his pet falcon Frightful was fascinating.

Plant a Kiss – Amy Krouse Rosenthal

Plant a Kiss is an uplifting story about generously sharing your gifts.  The text is deceptively simple for a book with such a meaningful message, and the pictures are a delightful addition to the text.  This book could be easily used for a meaningful read-aloud with learners of all ages.

North! Or Be Eaten! – Andrew Peterson

The second book of The Wingfeather Saga is a winner!  Filled with more irony and even more plot twists, North!  Or Be Eaten! is a suspenseful read that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.  As soon as she finished this book, our middle school age daughter was ready to start reading the third book in the series!

While this complimentary book was provided for review by WaterBrook Multnomah, no other compensation was given.  All remarks are my personal and honest opinions.
