A personal favorite. The Plastic Island by Myung Ae Lee (releasing 7/14) is a stunning example of visual storytelling. The striking use of color transforms a complex environmental issue into an unforgettable experience. An important message for all ages. #KidLit #ThePlasticIsland #PictureBooks

"Always by Your Side" by Jonny Lambert is a beautiful reminder that believing in ourselves often begins with someone believing in us. Releasing 9/15 with breathtaking illustrations that tell just as much of the story as the words. 🐻‍❄️💫 @tigertalesbooks.bsky.social #KidLit #AlwaysByYourSide

I love a picture book with effortless rhyme, and Mama's Home (and Baby Too!) delivers. Releasing October 13, 2026, @dawnprochovnic.bsky.social's lyrical text pairs beautifully with Adèle Dafflon's warm illustrations. A sweet read-aloud for growing families. 💛 #FamiliusBooks #KidLit #PictureBooks
