THREAD: With #alamw19 here, everyone’s attention is (understandably) on Mon’s #alayma announcement—but it’s also making me think of all the favorite picture books that didn’t get a Caldecott sticker but remain totally beloved. ❤️ Here are just a few from the past 5 years:

Starting my third year of using @cfellis Du Iz Tak with my third graders. They love figuring out the bug language. Hey, Candlewick Press, anyway an ebook can be made? I so would buy it to share the great images on a large screen.

A few lucky raffle winning fifth graders won the chance to complete the Harry Potter Escape Room. #ZervasLibrary #libraryescaperoom #harrypotterescaperoom

Hey @FollettLearning It’s hard enough to find fun chapter books that celebrate strong black and brown main characters. Why oh why would you cover up the face of the character with the barcode? #follettfail #librarianproblems

So very beyond excited about this! Way to go, Kekla!!
