Thanks for the great list. Several to add to my list.
Personal favorites:
OurFriend Hedgehog
Skunk and Badger
I would have considered Julian at the Wedding by Jessica Love. Because it allows us to be who we are and be included.
The Voice of Liberty by Angelica Carpenter. Because it tells a story of the early women’s movement to a younger audience.
The Curious Story of Edward Gorey Nonsense!
Because it depicts an interesting tale of the author/illustrator and shows the humor he had. By Lori Mortensen.
Thanks, Lisa
