Rationale:
This category was chosen after the introduction of The Arrival at our first class. I find the endless opportunities to retell a story and see things in a different way fascinating. I also love that students with reading disabilities can still “read” these books in a way that does not intimidate them and isolate them from peers, but includes them in conversations and learning.
