My book recommendation today is about, let’s just say, an unlikely friendship:
This sweet picture book is about a friendship between a dog and a statue of a girl. Their relationship starts off a bit rocky, but eventually the dog comes to appreciate what his new friend has to offer. Troy Wilson’s charming text includes subtle humor and wordplay while Mike Deas’ cheerful illustrations are engaging from cover to interior spreads to end papers. This is a beautiful example of how text and art work together to weave a heartfelt tale that will surely resonate with young readers. Love it!

Beatrix Potter was born on July 28, 1866, so let’s honor this amazing children’s author-illustrator by reading a picture book all about her.
If you’re a fan of biographies, nature, animals, children’s books, art, or Beatrix Potter, this book is for you. This lovely story highlights the life of Beatrix Potter and how her love of nature and animals grew into a desire to write and illustrating books for children. I gushed over the gorgeous illustrations (including adorably illustrated endpapers!) that are reflective of Potter’s famous book characters but are done in Lambelet’s iconic style. I love this book from cover to cover!

To celebrate this holiday, take a dip in the pool and then read this fun, rhyming picture book (careful not to get the book wet!).
This book perfectly captures a summertime-fun vibe that kids will love. From pool toys and floaties to relay races and cannon balls, readers will relate to the joy that a day at the pool brings. The cautionary refrain, “Don’t splash Grandpa!” will have kids turning the pages to find out if Grandpa is safe from getting drenched or what will happen if he does get splashed. Julie Gonzalez’s spot-on rhyming text combined with Srinidhi Srinivasan’s bright, expressive illustrations make this a splashy read aloud for one or a crowd. All around good summertime (or anytime) fun!
