What a perfect way to start the year, with Peace, and amen to what you say here: "my desire to share the idea of peace with my children has been repeatedly stymied by my inability to explain it adequately. Enter, of course, picture books." So often picture books can find the way when we don't have the words.
👋🏻 Mother of fairy obsessed children who fell asleep tonight sharing a copy of “The Fairy House Handbook”
We love the Backyard Fairy book!
We like that one too! (Let me know if you want my list. It’s picture books + a few chapter books.)
My four year old was “assigned” A Stick is an Excellent thing as her summer reading. Very excited for it to arrive now!
Though I recoil immediately at the thought of a 4yo being "assigned" anything whatsoever: yay! It's a gem.
I hear you. I had major reservations about it, but knowing that the book is delightful makes me feel better.
Maybe you can just read and enjoy it and never mention the rest.

Thanks for posting a note about this collection! My library hold list just got longer!
