31 Days, 31 Lists: 2022 Picture Books
The final list of the 31 Days, 31 Lists series is here. These are the picture books that I loved particularly. Many you will have heard of. A couple will be new. But regardless, each and every one is a star.
Review of the Day: Pina by Elif Yemenici, translated by Sydney Wade
Pina is a balm and a comfort. A gentle reminder that no matter how bad things may seem, there is room in this world for both the snugness of home, and the beauty of the wider world.
Review of the Day: The World Belonged to Us by Jacqueline Woodson, ill. Leo Espinosa
Take a trip in a little time machine mixed with a heavy dose of the best kind of nostalgia. An explosion on the page. Sublime.
