I catalog hundreds of new picture books each year, and I read as many of them as I can. Unfortunately, I can’t review them all. But I can share them! Below are a few recent titles. (Summaries have been taken directly from the books whenever possible.) Check your local library or bookstore for availability.
WHEN NUMBERS MET LETTERS: Toy numbers and letters meet and, in some cases, clash in a classroom during recess, but soon discover that they have some things in common. Clever and fun!
OLD ROCK: Tall Pine, Spotted Beetle, and Hummingbird are certain that being a rock is boring until Old Rock shares what he has seen and done since he first flew out of a volcano.
THE GIRL WHO SPOKE TO THE MOON: When Sofia dreams of visiting the Moon one night, she discovers people are hurting the Earth, and with the Moon as her guide, she learns how we can work together to make the Earth feel better. Rhyme
WHERE LILY ISN’T: Lily is no longer in the house, or the park, or waiting by the door, but she remains in one little girl’s heart forever.
SNAIL CROSSING: A determined snail spots cabbages on the other side of the road, and thus begins his epic journey. Funny!
ONE HUG: A celebration of the many ways we embrace our loved ones. Rhyme
FREEDOM BIRD: In the antebellum South, two siblings shelter a large, mysterious, wounded bird and eventually follow it west toward freedom.
SUNNY: Sunny likes to look on the bright side of things, even when she was stranded at sea, until she found herself all alone and close to losing hope. Love this one!
MAGNIFICENT HOMESPUN BROWN: An exuberant celebration of feeling at home in one’s own skin.
Lauri Fortino's Frog On A (B)Log 
It’s sad we can’t get to the libraries to see these wonderful books right now. I hope soon. Thanks for sharing.

So true, David! But definitely keep them in mind when libraries reopen, whenever that may be.
