Recs if you like Paletero Man...

I’m an elementary music educator, and these are the books that I use in my classroom for children ages 5 through 11, with a variety of topics. Some are music history books, some are about the power of music as a form of art, some can be read in rhythm, some help teach musical concepts, and others are just fun additions to the music classroom! (Suitable for home schooling music as well!)

🚧under construction! I’m just waiting for a bunch of books to be added to PB! 😉🚧

Picture books set in the summer, about the seasons changing from spring to summer, or featuring summer activities.

Not meant to be an exhaustive list (that might be impossible!), this is instead a curated collection meant to represent a diverse range of protagonists and moments, brought to life by charming illustrations.

These are the books that my storytime kiddos at the library have loved the most! They've had the most interaction, most attentiveness, most memorability, and most notable enjoyment.
