📦Just finished "What's That Noise?" by Charlie Higson, illustrated by @nadiashireen.bsky.social. This book is a delightfully silly picture book with fantastic read-aloud rhythm, hilarious visual humor, and a wonderful celebration of imagination and creative play. 🎉 @simonkids.bsky.social #KidLit

Bright blue book cover featuring a large cardboard box surrounded by a monkey, fox, ghost, black cat, and yellow car. A pair of eyes peers from a hole in the box. The title What’s That Noise? appears above in large black and pink lettering.

"The Tiny Thing" by @ellentarlow.bsky.social & illustrated by Laura Stringer is a charming, cozy picture book with beautiful art. I loved the tiny dandelion seed as a symbol of hope and a reminder that even the smallest encouragement can help us bloom.🪻Out Oct 6! @simonkids.bsky.social #KidLit

A personal favorite. The Plastic Island by Myung Ae Lee (releasing 7/14) is a stunning example of visual storytelling. The striking use of color transforms a complex environmental issue into an unforgettable experience. An important message for all ages. #KidLit #ThePlasticIsland #PictureBooks

"Always by Your Side" by Jonny Lambert is a beautiful reminder that believing in ourselves often begins with someone believing in us. Releasing 9/15 with breathtaking illustrations that tell just as much of the story as the words. 🐻‍❄️💫 @tigertalesbooks.bsky.social #KidLit #AlwaysByYourSide

I love a picture book with effortless rhyme, and Mama's Home (and Baby Too!) delivers. Releasing October 13, 2026, @dawnprochovnic.bsky.social's lyrical text pairs beautifully with Adèle Dafflon's warm illustrations. A sweet read-aloud for growing families. 💛 #FamiliusBooks #KidLit #PictureBooks
