My Forest Is GreenDarren LebeufAn Asian child living in a city looks from a high window toward a large forested park and calls it a forest. The child also makes a second forest from drawings inspired by nature. During visits to the park, observations become artworks: trees are tall while ants are short; trunks can be wide or narrow; rocks feel heavy and stones light; leaves are crisp, while moss and lichens are soft. Further descriptions use colors and unexpected qualities to capture what the child notices. The book joins an urban green space with a young artist’s explorations of color, texture, scale, and nature.Under FiveLexile Text Measure AD320LATOS Book Level 2.4On the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
Roar Like a DandelionRuth KraussThis alphabet book uses an unusual approach to identifying initial letters.

Pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations accompany the language. The book treats letters and words as material for short, whimsical expressions rather than a conventional alphabet sequence.Under FiveLexile Text Measure 140LATOS Book Level 1.4On the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
