Rocco Travels with the Presidents! by Rocco Smirne, illustrated by John Hutton

Winner
Children's Nonfiction
2022 Best Book Awards

Every president of the United States has to travel to attend important events and to meet people around the world. For more than two hundred years, the presidents have taken journeys on horses, trains, ships, cars, airplanes, and helicopters. Sometimes, just for fun, they have also used bicycles, golf carts, and even parachutes!

Rocco is six years old, but he already knows a great deal about the White House and the presidents and the places he would like to go too, so he created this book to share some of the adventures he would have if he could travel with the presidents!

Rocco travels through time and around the world to ride horses with Abraham Lincoln and bicycles with Jimmy Carter.

He boards trains for a trip out west with Grover Cleveland and a New York jaunt with Franklin Roosevelt. He has fun riding in Lyndon Johnson's Amphicar and Joe Biden's Corvette. He ends the book with his favorite trip of all: a flight on Marine One.




Big Love by Louie Flores

Finalist
Children's Nonfiction
2022 Best Book Awards

During the 2020 Pandemic lockdown, Louie started drawing community chalk art to lift the hopes and spirits of not only his co-workers but the community at large.

He texted people in his neighborhood to set up a teddy bear in the window, so he knew after a long shift at the university exactly where to go and leave a driveway chalk drawing.

The 10-foot angel he drew at the hospital parking lot where the Nurses, Doctors, and Staff gathered in front of the huge plate glass windows was unbelievable. When he looked up, they were jumping, blowing kisses and hugs, making heart-shaped signs with their hands; some were even crying in tears.

The Global Kid: The World's First VR/AR Political Comic Book by Dr. Maha Hosain Aziz

Finalist
Children's Nonfiction
2022 Best Book Awards

From the Author: "My name is Maha and I'm an NYU professor, World Economic Forum risk expert and author focused on global politics. I wrote wrote the seven-time award-winning bestseller Future World Order (2019 & 2020) and sequel A Global Spring(2022). But my childhood dream was to be a cartoonist! This is why I drew the crowdfunded political comic book, The Global Kid, in 2016, which stars the superhero character of 14 year old Sami. Sami lived in different countries with his family (much like I did – 7 countries by age 14) and observes political problems (much like I do in my day job). My political comic book won its seventh education award in 2021. All my profits went to education nonprofits during 2016-2019 and then to my brother's memorial fund for Syrian refugee youth via charity Peace and Sport during 2019-2021."
