With warmer weather ahead of us now is the time to get outdoors with your children and with a good book! Here are a few great children’s reads to share with them now, curated by the Lightins review team.
Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes
This is the story of a little girl with an extraordinary name she loves, until others start to tease her. The kind words and actions of a teacher give Chrysanthemum and her classmates a new perspective. This book teaches children about the power of words to hurt and heal, and how one person can make things right.
Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney & Anita Jeram
"Guess how much I love you," says Little Nutbrown Hare. Little Nutbrown Hare shows his daddy how much he loves him: as wide as he can reach and as far as he can hop. But Big Nutbrown Hare, who can reach farther and hop higher, loves him back just as much. Well then Little Nutbrown Hare loves him right up to the moon, but that's just halfway to Big Nutbrown Hare's love for him.
New Kid by Jerry Craf
It’s always hard being the new kid at school, but it can be particularly difficult when you’re from Washington Heights in New York City and you earned a spot at an elite private school across town. New Kidfollows Jordan’s first year at Riverdale, addressing racism and other tricky issues head-on. This thoughtful book was awarded the Newbery Medal in 2020, becoming the first graphic novel to win its category.
