Picture Books
Here are some newly released picture books recommended for ages 5-10, but I believe picture books are good for every age. Aaron Slater, Illustrator is the latest from the beloved series which brought us Ada Twist and Rosie Revere. It features a young boy who struggles with reading, but discovers that he can use other talents to be a great storyteller. It’s written in a special font that is easier for people with dyslexia to read. Fuzzy Inside & Out: A Story about Small Acts of Kindness and Big Hair from Picture Book favorite Zacharraiah Ohora is the story of a fuzzy and kind skateboarding friend. This Is a Gift for You by Emily Winfield Martin is a poetic tribute to the simple joys of life and nature, and a reminder that the greatest gift we have is time spent together. These three books are brand new releases, so they will make perfect additions to any home library.
