posting this on its own because I'm obsessed with The Couch Potato watching M*A*S*H (*E*D Potatoes)

the other shows are cute too but I'm a simple soul and the unexpected MASH reference made me laugh

2020 Picture Book Update

Images from my Goodreads page

My goodness. Picture books are taking over my life (but I’m not complaining). I am ahead on my two picture books a day because I tried to account for a few days by reading extra one day, then couldn’t control myself. But this is fantastic because I’ve read some truly amazing picture books! Here are my favorites from this update: 

Henry and the Kite Dragon by Bruce Edward Hall & William Low (Illustrator): This is a historical fiction picture book! The artwork is beautiful and the narrative is full of kindness and compassion. 

The Rabbit Listened by Cori Doerrfeld: I teared up when I read this book. It kind of hit home with my introverted nature as it’s about how to support hurting friends without being pushy.  

Macca the Alpaca by Matt Cosgrove: This picture book just came out on February 4th! It’s hilarious with a super positive message in the end. Definitely check it out! 

In a Jar by Deborah Marcero: *sigh* The power of friendship is in full blast with this picture book! Capture special moments in a jar then share them with those that need them! 

The Sad Little Fact by Jonah Winter & Pete Oswald (Illustrator): This one hit home with society in general. The commentary about fact versus fiction (fake news) is strong with this picture book. This one will evoke feelings with readers of all ages. 

A Place for Pluto by Stef Wade & Melanie Demmer (Illustrator): I loved this informative picture book about Pluto’s journey from planet to...what’s next? The artwork is quirky and cute but is great for conversations about science!  

Please, please, PLEASE send me your picture book suggestions! I’m having so much exploring this world as an adult.
