Explore inclusive picture books about activism and changemaking, as well as a book of mindful haiku poems exploring twenty-four flower species. Learn about an astute and sensitive picture book about the process of grief and new hope, which the Wall Street Journal called “a tender story,” and Kirkus starred, saying “Quietly contemplative, mingling hope and healing, this is a book that will offer comfort to many." Find the perfect present in Perfect Presents!, a happy little hardcover book about gifts and giving, and discover a joyful, energetic picture book perfect for reading aloud that will spark imaginative play for preschoolers. Meet Justice, aka Miss Freedom Fighter, Esquire—a young girl discovering that she can make a difference in the world, inspired by men and women throughout history who change the world. Explore Amazing Africa in an abecedarium celebrating this diverse continent, and count to ten while celebrating the history, heritage, and ingredients of gumbo. Glimpse the heart of a compassionate child who asks questions about a refugee that grownups aren’t always brave enough to ask, and discover the magic of books in The Bookshop Mice.

Our passionate presenters will share their delight in these joyful reads, and you’ll come away with new inspiration for perfect spring picture books.
