Afikomen by Tziporah Cohen. Art by Yaara Eshet. The cover is divided into two panels. Panel 1: Three children peek out from under a blue cloth.

The boy holds a small gray dog. Panel 2: In the foreground is a river where five black birds swim. Reeds grow on the far side of the river, and palm trees and pyramids are in the desert beyond.

Catch Me If I Fall by Barry Jonsberg. Identical twins. Sheltered lives. One day that changes everything. Two people mirror each other vertically, with one person standing upright on the bottom half of the cover, and the other person upside-down from the top half. They face away from us with arms outstretched against a cloudy blue background. They both have dark hair and light skin tone, and wear dark pants with purple shirts. They look identical, except that the person on the bottom has longer hair.

The Remembering Stone by Carey Sookocheff. A girl and an older man with light skin tone, and a white and brown dog, stand on the edge of a body of water, facing us. A stone the man has just thrown skips toward us. The girl has shoulder-length brown hair with a hair bow, and wears blue overalls, a long-sleeved white and grey striped shirt, and tan shoes. The man is bald with grey hair on the side of his head, and wears a brown cardigan over a white collared shirt, grey checked pants, and grey shoes.

We Are Lions! by Jens Mattson. Pictures by Jenny Lucander. Two boys with light skin tone and short dark brown hair follow behind a group of seven colorful wildebeests across an orange savannah. They tip-toe with their arms outstretched like claws. The taller boy looks back at the smaller boy, who follows closely behind. There is a white bandage wrapped around the taller boy's elbow. Blue tree trunks and patches of blue grass grow on the savannah. In the background, there is a house and a hospital.
