To encourage independent reading, librarians and teachers look to build a community of readers. What better way to build that community than by writing and sharing book reviews? 

Writing a review encourages students to reflect on what they’ve read, and when they share the review on Biblionasium, it lets other students see what their friends are reading! 

These reasons and many others are why we continue to encourage students to write book reviews with our Kid Review Contests. Check out the excerpts from some of the winning reviews from our Because of Winn-Dixie 20th Anniversary Book Review Contest below!

Whether your goal is to celebrate Black history, support and empower Black students, or educate others, this list will help you find that perfect recommendation for the month of February.
