The picture books in this collection are written at multiple levels, so there are levels of metaphor, meaning, and humor that readers appreciate at different times in their reading lives. Although at first glance they may look as if they are for younger readers, these picture books often take up serious issues of justice and injustice in the context of different histories, peoples, cultures, and identities.
The books in this library shelf are also included in the complete Grade 4 Below Benchmark Classroom Library. For complete details about the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project Classroom Libraries please visit CalkinsLibraries.com.
