Hi! It’s been a while. Between a cross-country move, a faulty computer, a new home, and everything – I’ve fallen behind on updating here. While it’ll be a few more weeks until I can update more regularly, I wanted to share with you some of the kid’s book recommendations I’ve received this year. So, without further ado.
*Please note, due to time constraints these will like to Amazon or the direct website. However, I urge you to support local bookstores. Try one of these bookstores.
*Also, dear recommenders, my apologies for the delay in getting this post up. I will be adding these books into the directory as soon as I can. If you recommended something and it isn’t mentioned below, please send me a message. Please include a link to your book in English and I will get it sorted.
So, in no order:
