Princess stories don’t usually spark my interest, but Princess Hair is different. The girls in it feel good about their beauty as they celebrate their braids, curls, teeny-weeny afros, twists, and frohawks. Diverse in hairstyles and skin tones, these girls like to draw and twirl, think and rock. Every kind of hair is princess hair and is worth celebrating. A lot of little girls have been waiting for this book! - Noreen

Kevin Henkes is the master of the picture book. In this board book adaptation, he captures the delight of glimpsing birds—in trees, on telephone wires, and on the wing—while imagining what it would be like to fly. Vivid colors and playful scenes bring whimsy to life. - Tera

An adoring lullaby for a new baby by Dogrib Nation author Richard Van Camp (What’s The Most Beautiful Thing You Know About Horses?), with striking, stylized art that jumps off the page by Cree-Métis Canadian illustrator Julie Flett.

Newbery Award–winner Cynthia Rylant celebrates all the little treasures a day brings, from planting seeds to sailing a paper boat in a puddle. Nikki McClure illustrates this board book with gorgeous black silhouettes set against bright backdrops of yellow and blue. - Tera
