Book excerpt: In The Elves Academy I, when some of the older elves want to retire, Santa selects a range of diverse children including those with disabilities to be trained as elves. Once the children are trained as elves, there is a conflict between the old elves who want to keep things the way they are and the new elves who want to change things. Santa resolves the conflict by getting each side to listen to the other and keep in mind the true meaning of Christmas. The Elves Academy II - Santa in his search for children to train to be elves decides to hold an Elf Olympics, making it possible to select children from around the world. A father is upset that his child is not selected and gets the idea to buy the North Pole and develop it as a theme park. He also realizes that if he owns the North Pole, he owns Christmas and comes up with an evil scheme of charging a per gift delivery change. Santa, Mrs. Clause, and the elves must find a way to fend off this evil developer. The Elves Academy III - Santa and his elves have had two amazing years of elf recruitment, but trouble is afoot in the third year because the popularity of Christmas and the elves have turned into the "next big thing." Entrepreneurs and entertainers have pounced upon the opportunity to turn everything they can into elf contests, merchandise, and reality shows. The world has turned greedy and everyone has forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. Can Santa and his elves overcome the work of three money-obsessed executives and help the world remember the spirit of giving before it's too late and everyone ends up on the naughty list?The Elves Academy IV - Santa is informed that the North Pole is melting and if the melting can't be stopped or an alternative location can be found for the North Pole, then there will be no more Christmas. The Elves Academy IV is about the Elves attempt to stop global warming or find another location for the North Pole. When all seems lost, Santa discovers that love is the solution. Jamal the Dancing Fish - The other fish in Jamal's school hear classic music and swim like they are in a ballet. But Jamal hears a range of music from Jazz and Reggae to gospel and moves to the music he hears. As a result, Jamal is always out of sync with the other fish and thus is bullied and suffers a lot of teasing. Jamal gets tired of being mistreated by those in his school and swims off, going on his own exciting adventure. Jamal eventually returns to his school and saves his school from danger. Everyone learns that being different is a gift.Little Man Bennie is inspired by the children's book, Ben's Trumpet by Rachel Isadora and the stage version by Tony Williams.

It is a place where children know and feel that people are there for them and that they are safe and loved. With its delightful watercolor illustrations of school life, School is More Than a Building paints a positive picture of a school environment where children know and understand that the people who work there care and look out for their best interests. When read aloud, children are reminded that they are part of a very special community and that schools are there for them. The pandemic made it painfully clear just how sensitive children are to the world around them and how important schools are for many children's health and well-being. Unfortunately, for some children, schools are more than just a place for learning, they are also a place of refuge and escape. It is important that children are aware that schools are a safe place where there are people that they can trust and go to if they need help. School is More than a Building, it is a place where people listen.In addition to celebrating schools and everything they do, School is More Than a Building is a great book to generate discussion about the many aspects of school life.
