(4) K-3 Illustrated by Grace Lee. This inspirational advice book based on the film Finding Dory uses the titular blue tang's mantra "just keep swimming" to encourage readers to persevere (e.g., when they're at a crossroads or when they don't know what they're looking for). While the expressive illustrations in sea-glass hues echo the ocean setting, sometimes the text misses the mark: "When you find yourself swimming alone...just keep swimming."
