Una Wimple Charts Her House by Reif Larson, ill. by Ben Gibson: “This one introduces the concepts of various charts (bar, pie, venn) through playful observations!”
Plain Jane and the Mermaid by Vera Brosgol: “This story is inspired by several myths/folktales, but the way that the author weaves them together makes it feel totally fresh. It provides a great message while also being zany and fun!”
