#mustreadin2020 - fall update

This is my #mustreadin2020 fall update. I love participating in this reading challenge hosted by Carrie Gelson of There's a Book for That because it connects me with a community of readers and encourages me to read newly released books to share with my students. In January, I created my #mustreadin2020 reading goal. As a reminder, here they are:

I'm happy to report that I've read MOST of the books on reading list - plus A LOT of additional new titles!

My #pb10for10 - Picture Books that Encourage & Celebrate Individuality

I’m thrilled to be joining the #pb10for10 fun again this year! Many thanks to the wonderful hosts: Cathy Mere (Reflect and Refine), Mandy Robeck (Enjoy and Embrace Learning). I enjoy the challenge of creating a meaningful list for myself and others, as well as reading all the wonderful lists posted by the community.

My past #pb10for10 book collections are:

2019: Picture Books That Make You LOL

2018 - Girl Power Picture Books to Share with My Daughter
2017 - Picture Books to Encourage a Growth Mindset

2016 - Picture Books for a Makerspace

2015 - Picture Books that Make Great Read Alouds for Young Readers

I've fallen in love some recently published books that encourage and celebrate individuality and differences. Given recent events, this topic is more important than ever. Below are the books that I hope parents, teachers, and librarians share with children. Their stories are important and their messages are invaluable.
