Sometimes it's hard to buy a picture books. Do they have a lesson? Are they just too silly? Not silly enough? These are three picture books kids and their moms [and you] will love!
1. A Bad Case of Stripes [David Shannon]: Camila tries to be so much like everyone else, she develops a condition called Stripes. A beautiful book about the importance of being yourself.
2. 17 Things I'm Not Allowed to Do Anymore [Jenny Offill]: I saw two teenage girls reading this and laughing out loud. "I had an idea to staple my brother's hair to his pillow. I am not allowed to use the stapler anymore."
3. Ladybug Girl [Jacky Davis]: Lulu has to play on her own, but she's afraid of doing things by herself. Good thing her alter ego, Ladybug Girl, isn't afraid of anything! Really inspiring. Ladybug Girl is my hero!
