A holiday encouraging us buy a book? Yes, please! If you’re looking for ideas, here’s an adorable picture book I recommend:
I can relate to Bear—he loves books! He loves them so much, he wants one of his very own. One that’s “the color of ripe red raspberries. And delicious to read.” The problem is, Bear is a bear, and bears aren’t allowed where you can find books. Poor Bear! Ellen Ramsey’s sweet story of determination, creativity, friendship, and a love of books is perfectly paired with MacKenzie Haley’s bright, whimsical illustrations. Readers will cheer for Bear as he pursues his treasure and will love the heartfelt ending, complete with a surprise cover reveal under the book’s dust jacket. Bear loves books and I love A Book for Bear. I think you will too!

Let’s give a shoutout to friends this month! Sometime friendships click in place perfectly right away; sometimes they take a while to find their fit. Today’s book recommendation is about two friends who start off a bit apprehensive of one another, but gradually warm to each other:
After I read this book the first time, I felt like I found a new friend. I hugged it all the way to the checkout line. I am a huge fan of Julie Fogliano, Molly Idle, and Juana Martinez-Neal’s work, so to see them create this book together? Pure magic! Fogliano’s lyrical text rolls off your tongue as it tells the story of two children who start off in a rocky place, but gradually become friends. And who better to illustrate than two friends in real life? Idle and Martinez-Neal blend their unique styles into one cohesive look to create a story I hope you’ll love as much as I do. This one’s a keeper!
