Working on genrefying Upper School Fiction at the moment at my school; HOWEVER, When we get to Lower School, I'm wondering if anyone has a good title for "meatier" picture books; those that have heavier topics, are much longer, and lend themselves beautifully to important class discussions. Picture books that might be in this section are ones written by Patricia Polacco, Alan Say, etc.
