The fictional construct of a girl staring at the sky is hardly necessary; lively language and gorgeous illustrations make this an excellent introduction to astronomy for a wide audience of primary grade readers.
A perfect combination of information, artwork, and emotional impact. Highly recommended for all collections as a wonderful introduction to the importance of forest biodiversity and the amazing world of trees.
A timely and informative title about the election process in the U.S. from a child’s perspective, with an emphasis on community and participation. Highly recommended for Spanish-language collections.
Nonfiction books account for many of this month's stars, along with several middle grade and YA novels, and one holiday book.
This month's starred titles include a first day of school story by June Sobel, biographies on Mae Jemison and Roberto Clemente, and a new picture book from Kyle Lukoff.
Biographies for the picture-book set are in abundance, so we pulled out recent titles that got our reviewers' attentions and became stars in the first months of 2024. Use the link for the full review!
What a gift to reading, with one particular refrain acting as the recommendation: “Sharing is nice.”
A tranquil and colorful exploration of an art form that has been around for thousands of years, this should be in all picture book collections.
