As part of my partnership with Follett, for each month of the school year, September – May, I curate a themed booklist with 20 recommended picture books that would be great for your #ClassroomBookADay read alouds. Below are links to all of the lists from the 2021-22 school year.
My themed picture book recommendation lists are also housed in Titlewave, one of my favorite free databases for looking up all things related to book information! You can easily find them all by just searching my name (Jillian Heise). Don’t have your free account? Grab it today.
