Happy Perfect Picture Book Friday, dear friends. Spring is definitely in the air…I’ve seen a few insects, here and there, stretching their gossamer wings in the sun, welcoming the warmer weather that is sure to be here any time soon in New England. But, in case you can’t wait for the warmer weather, I’ve got the perfect book for you today!
One of my favorite things to do is to shout out about brand-new books that are coming out soon – and it’s always an honor to be asked to reveal the cover! I’m dancing for joy about this book – written by the lovely Jenna Waldman and illustrated by the talented Sharon Davey and published by Apples and Honey Press.
Happy Perfect Picture Book Friday, dear friends. Today’s selection is special for several reasons: the author is one of my Storm Agency sisters, the book just launched this month, and the topic of body autonomy and consent is one that used to be ignored, but is finally finding its way into conversations…and books!
I can remember when the aunties would come over – and cheek pinching and hug squishing would occur, whether I wanted it or not. I know there will be many children who relate to the main character in this story.
