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.
I AM THE STORM: Children share gentle stories of resilience in a tornado, a blizzard, a wildfire, and a hurricane.
THE SAD LITTLE FACT: Follow a sad little fact who is locked away for telling the truth and meets other little facts who want to escape their underground prison.
SNOW FRIENDS: Oscar the dog can’t contain his excitement on the perfect day to play in the newly fallen snow. Sweet!
MAGGIE’S TREASURE: When Maggie’s found treasure collection grows too big and spills out of her house into an unsightly mess, Maggie has the perfect plan to get rid of it all.
THAT MONSTER ON THE BLOCK: When a moving truck pulls up, it’s not a goblin, ogre, or dragon that’s moving into Vampire’s old house, it’s something even more terrifying, it’s a clown! Funny!
THE PURPLE PUFFY COAT: When Beetle gives Stick Bug a purple puffy coat for his birthday, Stick Bug really sticks out in a crowd, much to his dismay.
GRANDMA AND THE ROOSTER: It’s Chinese New Year and Grandma has a special present for her family, a rooster to make into delicious soup, but when her granddaughter Xiaoyue meets the rooster, she begs to keep him.
BENNY WANTS A HAIRCUT: When it’s Sam’s turn for a haircut, Benny starts to bark and won’t stop because he wants a haircut too.
THE WORLD MADE A RAINBOW: A girl feels sad that she can’t go out and play with her friends or see her grandma, so she makes a rainbow to bring joy, hope, and togetherness to her neighborhood. Rhyme
STAR CROSSED: Two friends, a girl made of blood and bone and a boy made of space and stars, each make a wish to be where the other is.
