Books
Jack (Not Jackie)
This book shows how different doesn’t mean wrong and the most important gift a family can give their child is love, acceptance and unconditional support regardless of their gender identity.
We Don’t Eat Our Classmates
Super adorable and a great read-a-loud book about Penelope the T-Rex, who overcomes her innate desire to eat her delicious classmates and finds a way to make friends with them instead.
The Neighbors
Translated by Annette Appel. Readers will be amazed and delighted as a young girl imagines what goes on behind the doors of her neighbor’s apartments. Who knew an old explorer and his pet tiger, an acrobat, a pirate and many more, all live in the same apartment building?
