My one year old is enthralled by this book, and I find it more aesthetically pleasing than your average touch-and-feel book. Special shout out to the yellow page with fuzzy duck, scratchy sandcastle, and buzzy bee (that last one is parent-supplied).

From the same author as the Al Capone series is a story about a family and a dog. The kids are awkward and sweet and learning that popularity and knowledge are not all that you need. Most importantly, they're learning that it's okay to be a nerd!

Two middle-schoolers think they're doomed to a boring summer, stuck at their grandparents' house in rural Vermont ... until their grandparents turn out to be hiding a preserve for magical creatures! One of my all-time favorite books, and the start to an absolutely amazing series. Fablehaven is the perfect summer fantasy adventure in the style of Narnia.

In the Beautiful Country is a story about a girl, her family, and their tumultuous pursuit of the American Dream. Heavy with the weight of what we call home, this book is full of rich introspection and stunning lines. These poems plant you right into Anna's world: a small city in California called Duarte, a school of bullies, a church of friends, a cozy apartment with a pull-out couch, and a restaurant named Dino's at the edge of Route 66. Kuo's fluid writing makes you forget that you're reading at all.

For the slightly morbid child in your life, a somewhat less-well-known Jan Brett masterpiece following the lives and deaths of a cat on Nantucket Island. Like any larger-format Jan Brett, the illustrations and page design are unbelievably detailed and well-composed: this book takes re-reading over and over.

Please open to any page in this book and tell me it's not absolutely gorgeous. The Katha chest is a wonderful story about family and the memories that we store in physical objects. I suggest talking to your kids about what things remind them of their family members (and then staring at the pictures for several hours).
