December is Read a New Book Month! We asked our teacher librarians to share a recent book and why they loved it.
Kyra Bell, OAKBROOKE ELEMENTARY, read The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy. She loved the lesson that no matter who you are, what you look like, or how you act, your differences are what make you. That's all that matters"
