A Year of #ClassroomBookADay Recommendations: 2021-22 School Year

I have been posting a month’s worth of picture boo I have been posting a month’s worth of picture book read aloud recommendations for #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth since 2021. Swipe for the last four years — 120 titles you could choose from — for sharing with children in your life that honor Native American cultures, peoples, and traditions. And remember: It’s not just for November. Native representation should be included in the books we highlight, recommend, read aloud, and share throughout the year.
🪶What are your favorites titles to share in November that honor Native Nations?

Although I would love to highlight many of the new Native American picture books published this year, that will have to wait a few months yet since I’m on the Caldecott Committee for the 2026 award. I am not able to post about eligible 2025 picture books until after the awards are announced on January 26th, and since every book published in the U.S. with an illustrator who is an American citizen or resident is eligible for award consideration, it’s better to just avoid all of them for a little bit longer. But I don’t want us to forget about all of the wonderful picture books we’ve discovered in previous years we could still be sharing this month!

I feel like a large percentage of my outdoors photos is capturing moments of just right light with sunrises, sunsets, & clouds. There's something about the sky, & the show it can put on, that is soothing to the soul.
