I can't get enough of Bree Paulson's adorable characters! I'm so happy to see the return of garlic and her other adorable little veggie friends. So sweet, a little spooky, and so well drawn.
Making a friend can be hard. Ooko is not a fox to be deterred by the challenge. (Read this book if you want your heart to grow 3 sizes).
A charming picture book that follows a crime hardened chickadee who loves to steal from...get this... bird feeders. Sure to make you chuckle and to teach you something new about chickadees with informative backmatter.
With playful rhymes and whimsical illustrations, a timely reminder for back-to-school season that there are many different kinds of intelligence.
A vibrant and stunning look at the history of the color blue. This book is sure to fascinate kids and spark their curiosity.
This is a really beautifully illustrated counting book, and interestingly not all the counting is in numerical order, which is good for growing brains! It's also a lovely ode to the art of noticing, and really captures the feeling of being shipped to school from the sticks early every morning.
An unexpectedly thrilling and eerie collection of stories from a cast of well-known and well-loved YA authors! This is a perfect introduction for anyone looking to dip their toes into the horror genre. Each story is self-contained, so you really could spend several, separate nights snuggling under the covers and reading to the tune of rain and thunder outside your window without the stress and worry of finishing a massive, nightmare-inducing volume prior to bed. (Also, Chloe Gong is in it!)
This is a book that balances perfectly on the precipice between joy and heartache. It's a story about two siblings transferring to a new school, but it is also so much more than that. You will find discussion of depression/suicidality, sexuality, racism, transracial adoption, and religion all handled with sensitivity and care. But honestly, the sibling dynamics in this book are everything. Read it, then call your siblings.

After reading this book, I walked around the store holding it to my chest for a good 20 minutes. These little creatures highlight the complexity of human emotions in such an original and personal way, making you feel valid in every little feeling you experience. Bonus - if you were also personally affected by Disney's Inside Out in a way that you didn't expect... this is the perfect book for you.

What does one do with a herd of cats? Stack them of course! A bright, cute counting book with a little bit of math thrown in.
