Time to Go with Ted!
We love the big flaps, and Ted imagining where they might go & who they'll meet at the shops or the park... Lots of animal noises to be made, & a cosy ending! 📚👍🏾

Ooh me too! Mine is due autumn 2026, about a neurodivergent girl who uses the sounds of Tamil music to help her during a meltdown. From Magination Press.
Hey #kidlit I'm looking to join a marketing group for 2026 releases. Anybody got one starting up that needs more authors? My debut is due out in Spring '26 -- a lyrical NF PB from Reycraft.

It’s #portfolioday? In that case, hi! I’m Jennifer, an author-illustrator of all #kidlit, but my favorite is picture books! My debut comes out in 2026. 😃 I’d love any illustration project that involves weather, mood, and magic!

Recently read Words That Taste Like Home by Sandhya Parappukkaran. A beautiful picture book about an immigrant boy struggling to stay connected to the world he left behind. Michelle Pereira’s illustrations are enchanting, full of rich colours and soft textures. Heartfelt. 1/2

I suspect many of us share the sentiment of Madeleine L'Engle - “You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.” #kidlitchat

PAU: THE LAST SONG OF THE KAUA'I ʻŌʻŌ by Tony Piedra and Mackenzie Joy. 📚👍
What a poignant, important story--with an uplifting reminder that if we act, it's not too late to prevent further extinctions. Fantastic back matter. Beautiful and detailed illustrations. #kidlit 💚

Global Babies!
Photos of adorable babies on every page. Littles like: seeing real babies, colourful traditional clothes, kissing the babies (not disintegrated yet), copying sleeping/smiling/tongue poking out poses, and since 13 months, loves the words, esp the ending. ❤️ 📚👍🏾

A simple book, cute illustrations, and lots of opportunities to do exaggerated meows and asleep/awake noises/gestures. 📚👍🏾

Turns out, this is a hit! The fluffy foxes and the little windows are winning pages! 📚👍🏾
Wow a little gem from T4 Tales. Gorgeous little book of a Tamil nursery rhyme with flaps and pulls and even scratch and sniff. Bonus of English script for pronunciation. ❤️🌕 Love it! Hope the babies do too!

Niblings have LOVED the pictures and word play since 4/6 months. Now 9 & 14 months, they understand and enjoy it even more.
Fun read aloud, but 5 times in a row can be tough!
