We got our copies of This Book is Not for You! by @haleshannon & @subisnacks today, & this so perfectly aligns with our hearts and views on the "is this a girl or boy book?" ideology, aka absolute nonsense! What a brilliant picture book that we will share endlessly! #booksforall https://t.co/iS3cjKdVoA

This marvelous black & white picture book by @macbarnett & @MarlaFrazee had us gasping, smiling, and cheering. The Great Zapfino is a five-star #kidlit masterpiece and those elevator scenes are like funny & breathtaking at the same time. We LOVE this picture book! 🎪

"You may fall down.
You may be scared.
You may see shadows everywhere,
But you are brave and you are strong;
You'll make it home before too long."

Everything Will Be OK by Anna Dewdney (@AnnaDewdney) & Judy Schachner

Fill your heart with this #SEL story of hope. 💫

Mushroom Rain by Laura K. Zimmermann (@LauraK_PBwriter) & illustrated by Jamie Green (@Jamiemgreenart) is a delightful #kidlit picture book full of facts we never knew about this fungi! Awesome back matter included, too! 🍄

As big sisters ourselves, we adore Claire Keane’s Little Big Girl & have therefore eagerly awaited the release of Little Wonder. @claireonacloud’s new picture book is sweet but stunning and will be the perfect gift for life’s biggest events with the littles in your life! 🐚🌊📘

Last week @donalynbooks reminded us of the importance of teamwork and generosity when she gave a shoutout to @KateMessner for sharing her amazing resources. After presenting our latest faves in #kidlit many times this month, we wanted to make sure to share, too! Happy reading! 📘

Coffee, Rabbit, Snowdrop, Lost by Betina Birkjaer & @MargretheKj is a breathtaking picture book about #dementia with *all* the feels. 🐇

Sinéad Quirke Køngerskov’s Danish-into-English translation is painful and beautiful; it will break your heart and put it back together again.

Our kids at school already love @candynjames’ Archie & Reddie series, but we are all especially crazy about the latest book: Look What We Can Do! They’re totally accessible for our youngest graphic novel readers, but they’re enjoyable for bigger kids, too! A perfect mix! #kidlit

Troy Wilson (@TroyStoryToo) & Eve Coy’s (@evescoy) new picture book Hat Cat is a story of trust & friendship, & with a huge focus on #SEL in our schools, it’s a topic we don’t have many picture books in our collections with this theme. Grateful for this darling #kidlit story! 🐈

Super enjoyed My Pet Cloud by @amandarhill32 & @Apanona, but it turned a corner to epically adorable when when - following the picture book’s story - we turned to a “Rescue Clouds Ready for Adoption” spread and squealed with delight. How absolutely darling!!! ☁️
