(3) K-3 Illustrated by Vanessa Brantley-Newton. This lively picture book follows Mary, a Black girl in a modern city setting, as she forms a quirky band with her nursery rhyme friends. As the racially diverse group struggles with noisy mishaps, Mary teaches her pals the importance of harmony. The bright, busy digital illustrations perfectly capture the chaotic yet entertaining energy of the story. With playful rhymes that scan well, this delightful read offers a joyful lesson about teamwork and creativity.
