What are good picture books for high school students?
I’m a high school English teacher looking for ways to supplement reading instruction. What are some good picture books to use with high school students? I have used The Three Questions and Grandfather’s Journey, picture books with pretty deep themes.

sidenote: I really like that you’re asking this question. I occasionally used picture books with 5th & 6th graders this past year. They LOVED it. It really helped build confidence and reading speed in the weaker readers.

I’ve always thought it would be neat to read different interpretations of fairy tales from picture books and have the students go from there with a research and writing project.
For example: Cinderella
Some of the versions I’ve seen are cowboy (Bubba, the Cowboy Prince), Chinese, and Mexican.
This information might be too young for your age group, but hopefully this is useful to you in someway.
