One of my favorite things we do at our school is celebrate books.  While we do this year round in many different ways, it's the Mock season that is the most fun.  We have finally whittled down our list and have our 2019 Mock Caldecott selections ready to read with our 2nd-4th grade classrooms!  Here's what we'll be reading this year:

When I cultivated our list this year I took in consideration:
  • number of female illustrators vs male
  • illustrations that are representative of diverse readers
  • diverse illustrators
  • stories that young readers will enjoy
I'm really excited about this list and can't wait to get started with our readers at school!

  1. Such a great list!! Many of my favorites are here. I'm predicting that Dreamers will win :).

    I absolutely loved The Day You Begin, both the text & the art--even the feel of the paper. It's just lovely.

    See you soon--yay!!!
