[CASL-L] Charter Oak Nominees Announced

[Jane Martellino]

All,
It's finally reveal time! This is the 9th year for COCBA!
4 fiction and 4 nonfiction.  Satisfying read alouds appropriate for K-3.

We intentionally do not choose authors who have previously won or do we
select extremely well known or award-winning titles. We know you will
expose your students to those titles.  Once an author wins or is nominated,
our hope is that the author is already on your radar and you are looking
for their next book!
COCBA is more about finding lesser known, newly published books that can
connect to SEL or curriculum; that were designed with many elements of the
"Whole Book Approach" and are books that make you think, feel, and wonder.
A few of this year's titles will provoke your students to take action and
impact their world whether locally or globally.

All books were published in 2018 or 2019.  Often we will select a title
when it is first released and then the buzz will begin to surround it;
which is what happened last year with Doll-E-1.0. Already seeing something
similar with at least one of our nominees...I'm not saying we caused the
buzz...just stating we picked it before it started getting a lot of
attention.

I'll link items of interest here although they are linked from the website
as well.
