Our Books
We choose and recommend books for the One School, One Book program very carefully. These booksare listed below. Click on underlined titles to find out more about the book and to see the materials that participating schools receive while reading that book. Some books are better aimed at younger readers or entry-level reading families; others are more challenging – in theme or prose or length; and some somehow manage to hit the sweet spot, perfectly pitched to all elementary school audiences.
You are also welcome to browse our auxiliary list of books read by member schools.
