5th grade @ACDSBobcats selected The Cat Man of Aleppo by @arabinalabama, @Irene_Latham, and Yuko Art as our Mock Caldecott medal winner. Students loved the message of hope and community.

5th grade @ACDSBobcats selected Lift by Minh Lê and Dan Santat as one of our Mock Caldecott honor books. "The details really matter since the reader doesn’t just want to read the book, they want to feel it as well."

5th grade @ACDSBobcats selected Swashby and the Sea by @BethFerry1 and @juanamartinez as one of our Mock Caldecott honor books. "The illustrations show how Swashby loves the sea and the sea loves him back."

5th grade @ACDSBobcats selected Honeybee: The Busy Life of Apis Mellifera by Candace Fleming and Eric Rohmann as one of our Mock Caldecott honor books. "The picture really made it seem like you were in that specific hive."
