This fall's transition back to school is a little different than in past years. Some students are on campus, others are distance-learning, and pretty soon some of our distance-learners will be coming back to campus! To help you through these various transitions, Marin Horizon Librarian Anne Porter-Roth has put together a list of books for Pre-K–3rd students that will spark conversation and put student (and parent!) worries about the beginning of the school year, whatever that may look like.
