It’s Oscar weekend, and we thought it would be fun to offer up some book recommendations to the men, women, and one bunny, who appear in the Oscar-nominated films.
Share you thoughts on our recommendations, and offer up your own in the comments or on Twitter using the hashtag #OscarBookRec
Judy Hopps’s greatest dream was to become a police officer, but as a bunny, she has to overcome prejudice and doubts about her abilities due to her small stature and non-predator status. We can imagine she’d be a big fan of Women in Blue.
“Young women considering careers in law enforcement will be empowered by the women profiled here.” —Booklist on Women in Blue
Moonlight wouldn’t be the same movie if a copy of Gay & Lesbian History for Kids had made its way into Little’s hands, but we can wish that it had.
“My hope is that this book finds its way into the hands of as many children as possible in the coming years, and adults should take a look too!” —Hotspots Magazine
Florence Foster Jenkins may have been called “the world’s worst opera singer,” but she was dedicated to her voice and her singing, and we’re sure she would have a copy of The Voice Book next to her throat lozenges.
Lee deals with losses in the past and the present, and this essential resource for grief management and recovery would fit right in on his bedside table.
There’s no way, no how that Sebastian doesn’t have a copy of The Jazz Book on his shelves that he bought either from that cool indie just down the street or an earlier edition that he found at some secondhand bookstore with notes scrawled on the pages.
The women on the ground who made it possible for men and women to go to space.
