Ripped from current headlines: Wendy and family move to Columbus, OH, hoping to avoid immigration issues. Family secrets, bullying/cultural insensitivity at school. Excellent answer for internship app! @AlmarieGuerra great on audio. 5⭐️ @ElisaStoneLeahy @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Delightful board book with Dog showing Baby all the traditions of Christmas, including not fetching the ornament balls or tugging the Christmas tree branches. Love the pic of them looking up under the tree checking for squirrels! @quirkbooks @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

An abundance of photos of Don the tapir, especially during his youngster striped & spotted fur days, are the highlights of this informative book on a lesser known animal. @sandiegozoo does an excellent job for young readers! @GeorgeIrvine @DISD_Libraries #NFfriday #bookaday

Delightful animal friendship stories with engaging illustrations and adorable antics: The Dance, telling time lesson, creepy cave, and of course, lots of cake and sticks! Love this chapter book series, your littles will too! 5⭐️ @Candlewick @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Picked this up when I saw my boys on the cover! Basic easy to read NF for young readers: large font size, clean layout, color photos, sidebars, usual back matter items. BTS gets a chapter to themselves, as they should! @TrudyBecker @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Cute, relatable for 7th graders. Look out Gigi - things can get crazy when you start switching around schedules just for a cute boy - good advice for adult girls also 😉Good ending - looking forward to next book. @SimonBooks @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Suicide ideation warning definitely needed - lots of talk about it and character attempts. Lots of psychology stuff. Funny twilight ref. Love mentions of characters from previous books and how they tie in. Mother of all cliff hangers! @AdamSilvera @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Adorable #readalong version with sound effects from @Sorareadingapp #SoraSweetReads! Penelope’s family is very busy with their jobs, she feels left out. She spends the week investigating various dog jobs but to no avail until … @SunbirdKidBooks @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Enjoy learning new vocab, either British sayings or more archaic language/usages. Nice return to the friend group from an Unsuitable Heiress. Love the horses aspect, will Eliza get her circus horse back? @JaneDunnAuthor #bookaday #regencyromance

Easy to read graphic novel format with engaging cartoons just shy of being cutesy, tell actual events of the heroic dolphin named Moko. So cool how he saved the stranded whales, how they communicated. @matthewkmanning @Dokeck @DISD_Libraries #NFfriday #bookaday

What if you’re on vacation at your summer cottage and wake up next day and things are way different - at least there still is electricity! But a dome?!? Worries about never having a kiss or sex makes this definitely YA. @Scholastic @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Why would anyone leave San Diego - right? “Suddenly it’s hip to be Korean and I’m not Korean enough”. Lots of fun Kpop stuff and snark. Funny “first time” story 😳Would this book be like a k drama? Haven’t watched any so I don’t know. 🤷🏻‍♀️ @InkyardPress @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Perfect book to read on Taco Tuesday, or for any other day that celebrates food! A short rhyme introduces each popular food item and then explains its origin & journey around the world. Engaging illustrations, small text blocks, maps! 😋@redcometpress @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Excellent poems & a🐶! “Some things are just tough and there’s no way around the hard parts. only through. sometimes there’s no good path - Just a bad way and a worse way - so you might as well choose one and get started..” Wow ending! 5⭐️ @KateMessner @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Hughie (Hearts Unbroken) volunteers at a haunted house, trying to steer the attraction away from stereotypical Indian themes while also investigating the creepy things going on at the crossroads. Great ending! @Candlewick @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

11 months after a devastating college party, cousins Aster and Katie go for a 4 day hike in Utah. What can possibly go wrong? People are the only things worth fearing. We do what every strong woman does, we save ourselves. @NatDRichards @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

I’ve been to 8 of the 9 national parks, stuck my head in the lodges, stayed at two of them. When planning a NP visit I first check if the park has a lodge! All the photos are excellent, love the term Parkitecture. When in doubt paint everything forest green! #NFfriday #bookaday

Mindy and her family fly to Jeju Island after visiting with her grandmother. She is so excited to see Hallasan, but when you’re traveling with a small baby, anything can happen. Great ending to the series, sad to see it finish. @dunghth @simonschuster @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Lovely watercolor-esque illustrations as all the northern creatures and people enjoy the northern lights - a bucket list item for me! Rhyming text gets stronger as book goes along. Good addition to winter storytimes. @yuvalzommer @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Based on actual events, filled with great characters, a folksy narrator, and 🦒🦒! “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” “Home’s not the place you’re from but the place you want to be”. Excellent author notes. 5⭐️ @LyndaRutledge #bookaday
