While this day commemorates the ratification of the 19th Amendment, securing women’s right to vote in the U.S., lets celebrate by reading a picture book about a child who does his best to make sure everything is “even.”
Steven likes to make everything EVEN which often means splitting something in half. That seems fair, right? But if Steven has one book, is it best to cut the book in half? Oh, Steven! Not all things that are even are fair and not all things that are fair are even, and Steven and his friends illustrate in a fun, light-hearted way the concepts of fairness and sharing. Finison’s punchy narration and speech-bubble dialogue combined with Wiseman’s cheerful, expressive illustrations make this book a great addition to your SEL-themed books.

This holiday is all about staying true to yourself, and this book shares that message with young readers:
Look at that cover! Isn’t Bartleby adorable? If that doesn’t grab you, the story sure will. Bartleby is a bear of few words, and the few words he does speak are, “I prefer not to.” He prefers not to share during sharing time, not to play the xylophone in music class, and to not sing a silly song. Even though Bartleby prefers not to do a lot of things, he still wants to be part of his class community, but in his own way and in his own time. This book has everything I love: an endearing main character, adorable illustrations, secret “undies” (different cover under the dust jacket), and a heartfelt message. I prefer to love Bartleby!
