Picture+Books

Below are lists of picture books that can complement your classroom lessons. I'll add to them as I can. I invite you to do the same.

//Benno and the Night of Broken Glass// by Wiviott (Kristalnacht) //The Butterfly// by Polacco (Hidden Children) //The Cats in Krasinski Square// by Karen Hesse (Warsaw ghetto) //The Harmonica// by Johnson (concentration camps) //The Number on my Grandfather’s Arm// by David Adler (ID) //Yellow Star: Legend of King Christian// by Deedy (Star of David)

//The Mysteries of Harris Burdick-//Presents a series of loosely related drawings each accompanied by a title and a caption which the reader may use to make up his or her own story. (Pictures are excellent) //Tuesday-//Frogs rise on their lily pads, float through the air, and explore the nearby houses while their inhabitants sleep. //Why?-//A frog, peacefully sitting in a meadow, is suddenly attacked by an umbrella-wielding mouse in a confrontation that quickly turns into full-scale war. //You can’t take a balloon into the Metropolitan Museum-//In this wordless story, a young girl and her grandmother view works inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, while the balloon she has been forced to leave outside floats around New York City causing a series of mishaps that mirror scenes in the museum's artworks.
