“This book was partly inspired by Black creators who have set about reclaiming the trope of Black hair. For far too long, young readers have lacked books containing images to counter the often negative stereotypes of Asian eyes. I hope this book will become a playful and meaningful part of our cultural conversations around inclusion!” - Linda Sue Park
Storytime is a staple of teachers and librarians: gathering kiddos at the rug, welcoming them by name with a song or rhyme, opening a book, and inviting them to explore a new world. We've gathered a few of our upcoming picture books that we know will make for the perfect storytime read! Check out more information on each book below and download our storytime guide for activities to do before and after reading.
