I remember my kids teetering on their bikes around the basketball courts by our house around their fifth birthday learning to pedal. Today’s booklist is a collection of stories celebrating bicycles, bikes, and learning to ride them. affiliate links are included below. 1. Wild Blue by Dashka Slater & Laura Hughes Kayla loves riding her bike, but Daddy says it’s time for a new, two wheeled bike.

Illness, death and loss are not common picture book topics, nor are they things you necessarily long to discuss with your little kids. However, sometimes life is hard and sad, even for children, and when it is I feel like picture books are a wonderful way to start or continue conversations. Picture books allow us to feel seen, make experiences feel shared, encourage us to see other perspectives. That is their magic – in all sorts of contexts. affiliate links are included below.

2023 must reads are here. I will add to this post as the rest of the year releases more books to our eager hands, but these are the top children’s books so far. Every year I read hundreds of books. I love children’s books and we are living in a time of amazing books for kids. Every year so many new, wonderful, creative, inspiring, heartwarming titles are released. This is my list of just my absolute favorites published in 2023.
