Luna Loves Library Day

Joseph Coelho, illustrated by Fiona Lumbers

Library day gives Luna time with her father, who waits for her after her mother drops her off. Together they explore books about bugs, magic tricks, the island where he grew up, and a fairy tale that reflects their family situation. Luna hopes a magic book might make her father return home, although he no longer lives with Luna and her mother. The illustrations show the books coming alive as Luna and her father read.

Cover of “Fall in Line, Holden!”“Fall in Line, Holden!”Daniel W VandeverHolden, a young Navajo boy at boarding school, moves through a day governed by schedules and demands to fall in line. While the repeated commands emphasize conformity, Holden’s imagination transforms what he sees: wall pictures become animals, janitors become circus performers, gym becomes a gladiator battle, and the computer lab suggests space exploration. His classmates eventually begin to embrace creativity and nonconformity as well. The book contrasts the school’s strict routines with Holden’s vivid inner world.Picture Books for School-Age ChildrenOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
