The expressive, bold collages narrate a fable of vulnerability, and difference and learning to be doughty. In 14 years of reading this book to my art classes,the quiet, poetic nature of the prose stops kids in their tracks as they find themselves relating to every kid in the book.

The Secret River by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings,illustrated by Leo and Diane DillonThe art in this book is as surreal as it is breathtaking and gives the young reader credit that they can navigate this unique and poignant space where imagination, adventure, and terror,and faith all overlap. [picture book, ages 4 and up]
Bird by Zetta Elliott, or illustrated by Shadra StricklandThis stunningly beautiful book shows how one young child copes with grief and the stress of his brother’s addiction through his art. The main character’s voice is immediately relatable and again,gives the reader credit that no matter their own home circumstances, they will be able to relate to the narrator through the bigger theme of resiliency. [picture book, and ages 9 and up]
