The Faithful Spy: Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Plot to Kill Hitler
John Hendrix
Plot twist! @sethmeyers talks about how he was inspired by McToad Mows Tiny Island and says @hendrixart name on the Today Show. I recommend Seth read John’s book The Faithful Spy for himself (not a picture book. 100% words. 100% pictures) #RecsforSeth https://www.today.com/video/seth-meyers-shares-5-favorite-children-s-books-135761989539

Mel Fell: A Caldecott Honor Award Winner
Corey R. Tabor
Mel Fell by Corey R. Tabor is a deceptively simple book about a bird who decides today is the day to leave the nest! Read from top to bottom (and SPOILER ALERT: then from bottom to top) rather than from left to right. #RecsforSeth https://t.co/SvhI94rvgP

Natasha Friend
Today is pub day for The Wolves are Waiting by @tashfriendbooks, a YA about an attempted assault and how the pervasiveness of rape culture impacts everyone in a small, college town.
