Pecosita’s Freckly Freckle Face is a beautiful sto Pecosita’s Freckly Freckle Face is a beautiful story about loving yourself and what makes you special!

Everyone has something that makes them special and for Pecosita, it’s her freckles. Her family tells her all the way her freckles are beautiful - her abuela say they remind her of stars in the sky and her sister even draws freckles on her face before leaving the house. While some kids make fun of her freckles, Pecosita loves her freckles - they are her favorite part of herself 🩷

This is such a beautiful, empowering book for kids! Beauty standards today make it hard for kids (and adults) to love every part of themselves, so it’s incredible to see books like this one that show kids that are differences make us beautiful. 

Many thanks to @simonkids for sending me a copy of the book! 🩷

Bananas of the world, UNITE! These bananas will Bananas of the world, UNITE! 

These bananas will be your new favorite friends! They help you turn your frown upside down with fun, lyrical words that make you want to get up and dance! 

I hope you like bananas because you’ll be reading this story every single day. Apparently Go Bananas! is a classic camp chant (who knew?) and this picture book really brings a fresh and silly perspective to it. The illustrations are incredible and bring the story to life with hilarious bananas (dog banana is my favorite). 

Many thanks to @simonkids for sending me a copy of the book! 🍌

The Toy Plane is a beautiful story about courage, The Toy Plane is a beautiful story about courage, bravery, and the memories of our loved ones.

Leonard’s dad gives him a toy plane, which holds the memory of his granny. She was a pilot and Leonard wants to grow up to be one, too. As Leonard feels like he’s falling, a friend is there to help him realize that the memories of his granny will always be there.

This is such a sweet book! Leonard holds his granny’s memory in the toy plane his dad gives him. When the bird swoops in and steals the plane, Leonard embarks on a magical journey that not only helps him retrieve his plane, but also the memories of his granny. It’s a beautiful book to show kids who have lost a loved one that you can hold on to the special memories without holding on to the grief.

Mari and the Great Market Swap follows Mari as she Mari and the Great Market Swap follows Mari as she helps Granny sell guavas at the market. when a sugarcane truck flips over and blocks the road, none of the vendors can sell their produce to buy what they need for their families. Mari tried everything - running up to the main road to sell and even giving people a good bargain. But, when Mari and her friend Wendy swap their guava and cassava, Mari figures out a way to help the  community get everything they need. 

This is such an amazing book showcasing the power of community. What began as a market turned into a market swap, the sellers coming together and bartering to get what they need. The book transports you to a market in Barbados, filled with delicious produce and sweets. Kids can learn about new foods and culture, and why vendors at markets in Barbados are needed for making jobs available and ensuring food security. 

Many thanks to @pubspotlight for sending me a copy of the book🩵
