Every year I spend the last few weeks of the year compiling my favorite book finds of the year. They are not always new books. Just books I discovered for the first time and really, really liked. The pandemic along with the lack of a in-person storytimes, made for a sporadic book reading year.
PICTURE BOOKS:
The Three Billy Goats Buenos by Susan Middleton Elya,
illustrated by Miguel Ordóñez
A rhyming twist on the classic
tale in which the goats help fix what is making the troll so grumpy in
order to cross the bridge.
Can I Give You a Squish? by Emily Neilson
Kai, a merboy, loves to share hugs with his mother, but learns that some friends prefer fin bumps, tail claps, tentacle shakes, or claw pinches.
One Fox: A Counting Book Thriller by Kate Read
An illustrated counting book in which one famished fox finds five snug eggs but must face three plump hens to
get them.
NON-FICTION BOOKS:
Facts Vs. Opinions Vs. Robots by Michael
Rex
Robots try to figure out the difference between facts and opinions.
Seeds by Carme Lemniscates
Seeds harbor immense potential. They defy their size by
sprouting and growing into plants. And these plants develop beautiful flowers and delicious fruits and vegetables. Even in the most unlikely environments, seeds manage to thrive. Like seeds, we can cultivate and nurture something wonderful. There is much we can learn from seeds.
