Grumpy Monkey Jim Panzee is having a tough day and he is grumpy (even if he doesn’t think he is). Having a friend who hangs in there with him and helps him see that he will probably feel better soon is such a good reminder of how we can be a good friend.
The Three Billy Goats Buenos This picture book has been a fun addition to our bilingual storytime. It has a glossary of Spanish words used with pronunciation that helps me feel confident reading this silly version outloud.
My Two Blankets I love this beautiful story and was so inspired by a little girl willing to see someone who didn’t fit and reach out, not letting the language barrier stop her from making a stranger feel welcome.
Rain Before Rainbows The pictures are so beautiful and the message is one I need to be reminded of often.
The Magical Yet I love this rhyming book that reminds of that the world is full of things we can’t do…yet.
What If, Pig? Great book for opening the door to an opportunity to talk about worry. The pictures are bright and happy and the story normalizes anxiety.
Jenny Mei Is Sad Such a lovely book that encourages us to be friends who listen and support one another even when our friends are sad.
The World Needs More Purple People What is a purple person, you might ask. Well, if you don’t know you should read this book because we need more of them!
The Button Book If you like to laugh and have fun reading an interactive book together this is a great choice!
