She's the smallest girl in the smallest grade — quiet, easy to overlook. But Sally notices everything: the twenty-seven keys on the janitor's ring, the leaves as they turn green to gold, and the pushes and shoves on the playground that everyone else pretends not to see. And one day, she decides she's seen enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten in irresistible rhyming verse by GRAMMY®-nominated children's musician Justin Roberts and brought to life in vivid colored-pencil illustrations by Caldecott Honoree Christian Robinson, The Smallest Girl in the Smallest Grade is a picture book about the quiet power of paying attention — and the courage it takes to say enough out loud. Booklist called it \"a serious topic given serious treatment,\" and it won the 2015 Horace Mann Upstanders Award from the Anti-Defamation League for promoting empathy and social justice in children's literature.

Narrated in gentle, first-person rhyming verse, it's a love letter from a parent to a child — a promise that no matter how blustery things get, you will always have a polar bear in your corner. Chuck Groenink's luminous illustrations, created with acrylic paint, graphite, and digital techniques in deep arctic blues and warm golds, are simply gorgeous: a father and child skating figure eights, sheltering in a cave, watching an aurora bloom overhead.

Everyone gets them — even grown-ups. And they're not here to stop you; they're here to guide you. Colombian illustrator Paola Escobar — known for her work on the award-winning Planting Stories: The Life of Librarian and Storyteller Pura Belpré — fills every page with rich color and warmth, showing each child in the classroom trailing their own flutter of wings.
