Now that the summer vacation has arrived, it’s the perfect time to take stock of all the great new books in your bag. Whether you want to set a personal reading challenge — like giving debut authors a try, diving into books by award-winning writers, or reading one book per week — or just need a new bedtime read, there’s a perfect new book for you waiting to be found.
Getting Ready for Kindergarten
by Vera Ahiyya, illustrated by Debby Rahmalia
A young girl prepares for her first day of kindergarten with her parents. They pack a lunch and supplies into her backpack, take a picture, and kiss her when she gets on the bus. At school, the girl finds a friendly teacher, new friends, and fun activities to do. This charming picture book will help children feel more confident about their first day of kindergarten!
Adrian Simcox Does NOT Have a Horse
by Marcy Campbell, illustrated by Corinna Luyken
This story reminds me of Eleanor Estes’s classic, The Hundred Dresses. Adrian lets his classmates know he has a horse, but Chloe knows it’s not true. Should she call him out on this? Or should she let it go? Young readers will learn that compassion (同情) and understanding are more important than judgment.
The Bench
by Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, illustrated by Christian Robinson
Inspired by a poem Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, wrote for her husband for his first Father’s Day as a dad, this sweet story explores the many ways love can take shape between fathers and sons, as seen through a mother’s eyes. Featuring a range of diverse families, Robinson’s ethereal (超凡的) watercolor art beautifully compliments Meghan’s poetic text while evoking a sense of joy.
Carson Crosses Canada
by Linda Bailey, illustrated by Kass Reich
We share a lot with our neighbor to the north, including the country’s incredible size. Annie Magruder and her dog Carson are about to discover all the magic Canada has to offer as they drive from British Columbia to Newfoundland with Carson’s favorite toy and plenty of sandwiches.
