(3) 4-6 Nora Notebooks series. Illustrated by Katie Kath. Science-loving Nora and her fourth-grade science-lab partner, pink-obsessed Emma, can't agree on a science fair project. Meanwhile, Nora records observations of her sister's new baby; doing so alerts Nora to all the gendered expectations around her. Realistic school and family relationships are at the heart of this sweet second book. The easy-flowing third-person narrative is supplemented with occasional grayscale spot illustrations.
