No. 36 in my #FavePicturebooks25 is “Bear” by #NataliaShaloshvili.
It’s the ultimate ode to needing just a smidge of personal space and Bear is all of us when the world won’t stop barging in. The way the pages get busier and busier is genius. @quartokids.bsky.social
Funny, fab #PicturebookPage

The Angel and the MermaidBecky CameronFrances Lincoln Children’s Books Meet siblings Avery and Mira born one midsummer’s night. Baby Avery was ‘gentle and quiet as the whispering breeze.’ In contrast, baby Mira was ‘as wild and loud as a crashing wave.’ As they grew, despite their differences they spent their days playing together close to their home. However as the days turned to years the siblings become curious about the world and one day Mira suggests they play a game: whoever went the furthest and found the best treasure would be the winner.
