We wanted to suggest a few summer reads for kids. If you’re like us, you might enjoy these books as much as your kids do!
Your kids might recognize Kristen Bell’s voice as Anna from Frozen, and you might know her from The Good Place or Veronica Mars. In The World Needs More Purple People, Bell, and co-author Benjamin Hart explore what it means to be a “purple person.” The story is complete with lots of purple illustrations, silly jokes, and feel-good affirmations.
This collection of short biographies complemented by beautiful illustrations highlights Black women who impacted the world. Grade-schoolers can easily pace themselves through the book, as each woman’s story stands alone on a single page.
In this new title, Robinson uses his artwork to illustrate the value all living things bring to the world. He delivers a simple message: you matter. This book is ideal for read-aloud storytime!
