If it’s good enough for the Caldecott committee, it’s good enough for me (that’s not a hard and fast rule, but in this case it is). I love this retelling of the classic. My girls can’t get enough of this one, and even though I usually go for a book that’s a little less text-heavy, in this case, I don’t mind a bit.

The Strange Case of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger – $2.99

I read this when it first came out and I was working as an elementary school librarian.

The series starts out with Dwight, a sixth-grade oddball who loves origami. And when he makes an Origami Yoda finger puppet, it suddenly starts to seem that this little paper Yoda can predict the future and give great advice. How could this be!?

6 hours 47 minutes
Back in January 2020, Ella and I went to our library’s “Best Books” night where the librarians shared their favorite books from 2019.
