We are more than halfway through 2021! We have been seeing some amazing picture books and I wanted to highlight just a few of my favorite ones.
Outside, Inside
LeUyen Pham
Roaring Books Press, 2021
This incredibly timely book celebrates essential workers and the community coming together to face the challenges of the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Joanna Ho
Harper, 2021
This lyrical, stunning picture book tells a story about learning to love and celebrate your Asian-shaped eyes, in the spirit of Hair Love by Matthew A. Cherry, and is a celebration of diversity. An excellent choice for storytimes.
Hope Lim
Candlewick Press, 2021
On her daily bike ride with her dad, a bird-loving little girl passes a woman who frightens her—until she discovers what they have in common. Hope Lim’s simple text and Hyewon Yum’s delicate, expressive illustrations create a touching story that encourages readers to embrace our similarities rather than focus on our differences.
Kyo Maclear
Chronicle Books, 2021
A picture book celebrating all the reasons to love the rain! No matter what kind of weather you prefer, Hello, Rain! is a great reminder of the natural beauty all around us. A perfect choice for a weather related storytime.
Jacob Grant
Viking, 2021
Here's a hilarious and warm-hearted look at a father-son relationship that shows there is more than one way of wearing--and thinking about--pants!
