clicking over because of today's list (dec 2023) and remembering how much we loved Axle Annie! Such spirit! I get very nostalgic reading all of your recommendations, about to say goodbye again post holiday to 20yr old son living now on the east coast... and that the hours and hours we spent reading when he was smaller are definitely the favorite hours of my life.
We met Kevin Henkes this summer in KC! It was pretty magical because I've been reading him since childhood but I'm not sure he was as delighted with meeting a 41yo reader since childhood as it aged him too!
Lovely, Sarah! And I feel the same way about January! Happy New Year! ❄️
Thanks, Jolene — Happy New Year to you, too!
These are amazing. Wow what a resource! I just picked up a number of sweet winter picture books from my library today.
Thanks so much for the kind words, Taylor. Winter books are the best!

I love this, Nancy -- those hours were (and still are) the favorite hours of my life, too 🩷🩷

I'm sure it never gets old, meeting fans. Despite living 10 miles away from him, I've still never gone to one of his readings or met him in person...
