I have a goal to read 100 picture books in 2025!

A Tree Is Nice

Janice May Udry

Marc Simont

I like the way the pages alternate black & white with color. The book is about the usefulness of trees.

Caldecott

Smoky Night

Eve Bunting

David Diaz

With modern illustrations & dark colors reminiscent of the title of the book, Eve takes us into a house with mother and child watching a riot across the street. In this short picture book, she shows love, fear, blessings, and how new relationships/friendships can be created through a shared experience.

Caldecott

Sylvester and the Magic Pebble

William Steig

If you get a magic pebble, you must think before you wish anything, or you'll be stuck in a rock until someone comes along and helps.

Caldecott

Time of Wonder

Robert McCloskey

The book takes you through the seasons of Penosbscot Bay. It's lyrical writing is about 3rd grade level. The images are soft pastel colors.

Where Is the Green Sheep

Mem Fox

Judy Horacek

A cute bedtime story but you say "sheep" a lot.
