For Grades K-4
A True Home by Kallie George
When Mona the Mouse stumbles across the wondrous world of the Heartwood Hotel in the middle of a storm, she desperately hopes they’ll let her stay. As it turns out, Mona is precisely the maid they need to provide traveling animals with safety, luxury, and comfort. But the Heartwood Hotel is not all acorn soufflés and soft moss-lined beds, and danger lurks.
For Grades 5-8
We Dream of Space by Erin Entrada Kelly
As the country waits expectantly for the launch of the space shuttle Challenger, siblings Cash, Fitch, and Bird each struggle with their own personal anxieties. As the launch approaches, their teacher Ms. Salonga separates her students into spacecraft crews, and they must create and complete a mission. When the fated day finally arrives, it changes all of their lives and brings them together in unexpected ways.
