Notable Books for a Global Society

Our Mission

I am currently the Co-Chair for the Notable Books for a Global Society committee, serving since 2021 as a member. This committee selects 25 books published in the previous calendar year for K-12 readers that represent diverse perspectives. Through this work, I read and review more than 500 books annually and am excited to share wonderful titles with readers, teachers, and families. More information about the committee can be found through the International Literacy Association, here.
