I defy you to find anything more adorable and heartwarming than this bedtime story about little Bunny and his Dad. Check on your bunnies! We all need a hug like this. --Elese
There are so many things to see each day, what better way to learn than to ask! His spirit emboldened by curiosity, Daniel travels around the park asking his newest favorite question: "what's new?" A great book for a kid going through their "why" phase, encouraging them to see what they can find out for themselves by looking at their surroundings. --Jamie K.
Easily one of the most precious picture books I've ever seen!!!! Clarisse is a sweet little stray who loves books, and the library calls to her. The only problem - she isn't allowed in! Lovingly illustrated, the happy ending to this book made me tear up for sure. --Jordan
A very sweet story about acceptance and expectations. When Luigi the spider was found, she thought he was a kitten! To make her happy, he pretended the best he could - prancing, purring, catching a toy bug - but it wasn't making him happy. When he gets found out and exposed as a spider, he fears rejection - but gets love instead! Beautifully illustrated and all about how the truth can be freeing and just as lovely. --Jordan
If you're shy/struggle to take up space, then you can relate to Peggy! No matter where she tries to perch, someone tries to shoo her away! Luckily, she has a strong-willed seagull friend who is ready to help. This book is a silly way to learn how to stick up for yourself. --Ashley-Nicole
A lovely little story about bicycles, cycling, and the community and freedom that can come from it. Beautiful illustrations that come with a strong message - cycling can (and should!) be welcome to everyone everywhere - and filled with hope for a less car-centric future. Made the urban planner in me extremely happy. --Jordan
