A beautiful autobiographical picture book about climber Ashima Shiraishi. We learn how she approaches each climb and the problem-solving process she goes through as she tackles difficult climbs. Great lessons in general about problem-solving too.

A short and incredibly powerful graphic novel about race. Harris speaks of his own life and the lessons he learned from his uncle, who was in prison for a long time, about being black and how black people are often treated. Harris speaks honestly about his experiences and lessons, and he brings awareness to the flaws in the ways society often treats black people. Such an important read for both young and old. Middle grades and up.

Another fabulous picture about the life and impact of Malala.

A while back I shared a book about what would happen is sharks disappeared. This beautiful picture book is along the same line. A great way to teach kids about how we are all dependent on animals to keep our ecosystems in balance. The pictures are beautiful too!
