All Eyes on Ozzy!

K-Fai Steele

Ozzy loves attention and looks forward to music class with Ms. Bomba. When the class is assigned instruments, she chooses drums because they are loud, but learns that her job is to keep the beat for the orchestra. After doing well, she is asked to play triangle too. At a school performance, Ozzy freezes when she sees the large audience and cannot play. The orchestra loses its rhythm until Ms. Bomba taps her shoe to help Ozzy focus, allowing her to play her part.

Cover of Strange Planet: The Sneaking, Hiding, Vibrating CreatureStrange Planet: The Sneaking, Hiding, Vibrating CreatureNathan W. PyleA child and an adult alien observe a household cat and record its behavior in elaborate, pseudo-scientific language. As the cat walks on furniture, knocks over a water container, cleans itself, sneaks, hides, and vibrates, the aliens try to identify and explain what it is doing. Their unfamiliar vocabulary turns ordinary cat actions into a comic investigation. A visual glossary at the end translates some of the aliens’ terms for everyday objects, including a bed, couch, and waffles.Picture Books for School-Age ChildrenOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
Cover of America, My Love, America, My HeartAmerica, My Love, America, My HeartDaria Peoples-RileyThis picture book addresses America through questions voiced by Black and brown children.

The children’s questions consider belonging, acceptance, and prejudice, while the book also insists on their connection to America. Images show children with a range of Black and brown skin tones. The narrative invites reflection on how people’s experiences of America can differ, and on whether all people are welcomed without bias.Picture Books for School-Age ChildrenOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
