Resource for finding children's books

Children's books can be effective in helping not only elementary students but also high school and middle school students understand content area concepts. Because the text is accessible, students don't have to manage difficult text and new concepts at the same time. In other words, children's books can lighten the cognitive load for students as they encounter new information and concepts.
