There's a Book for That: Children's Book Week
May 2, 2018
It’s Children’s Book Week from May 1st to May 7th and do we have books to celebrate! Established in 1919, Children’s Book Week is the longest-running national literacy initiative in the country.
Considering recent raves from School Library Journal, Horn Book, Indie Next and “much love” from booksellers and librarians here are a dozen books reflecting many cultures and situations, from the silly to the serious. Whether told from a human or animal perspective, these are books to buy, borrow and relish!
