Fantasy, mystery, graphics, you name it! These books are perfect for those who read at a grade 5-7 level.
We would like to offer a grateful shout out to the magnificent and utterly beloved Oliver Jeffers: not only is he doing live storytime on Instagram, he's also written the picture book that no household, big or small, should be without. Here We Are is a loving, gentle introduction to our world, from planet to people, for those who are brand-new -- and those who've been here awhile; illustrations of everything from outer space (very big) to our bodies (very busy) accompany Jeffers' whimsical texts, weaving a love song in praise of home, and all who live here.

No matter how difficult things might seem right now, and no matter how lonely or frightened you may feel -- we're all in this together, and we're all here. In the words of Oliver Jeffers: you are never alone on Earth.
