Picture Book children’s choice awards extension program
The program is geared towards students in second and third grades; however, the chosen titles are scalable for younger and older children in a library setting. The basic concept is to introduce and engage students with recently published nonfiction or STEM- related titles through elementary school partnerships and special library programming, as well as collaborate with community partners.
What are the titles?
Erno Rubik and His Magic Cube, Kerry Aradhya
Holding Her Own: The Exceptional Life of Jackie
Ormes, Traci N. ToddNothing: John Cage and 4’33”, Nicholas Day
One Day This Tree Will Fall, Leslie Barnard Booth
The Great Lakes: Our Freshwater Treasure, Barb Rosenstock
