1
How to be a Better Friend Discussion
It's so nice to tie into grade-level Teaching Curriculum when selecting read alouds for the library.
It's also nice to tap into known age-level issues/themes like name calling or inclusion, and knocking it out of the park with book selections that open positive conversations.
Name Calling: How can we be a better friends?
Don't Call Me Fuzzybutt! "What is Bear’s problem? What does Bear do to try and solve the problem" (Sleeping Bear Press)?
2
Caring for Our Littlest Wild Cousins
When we talk about planet Earth, we really need to care for everyone. This is a nice story that shares what many citizens did (and students can do) to puzzle out more about Monarch Butterflies.

Seeing Sharks Through The Eyes of a Scientist
Eugenie Clark's fascination with the underwater world helped her see, with new eyes, her unique relationship with Sharks... and it was not a scary one. What myths, or beliefs, about sharks did she help us see?

Learning Some Savvy Soul Moves
"What does sisterhood sound like? STOMP, CLAP! How does pride move? FLIP, FLAP! How do we uphold tradition? GO HARD, SNAP BACK! SOUL STEP "(Amazon)!

This one is "As special as can be," according to Kirkus Reviews starred review, and we agree. Giving Good explores family dynamics and the importance of knowing that "Daddy always giving good."
