Betty and the Mysterious Visitor is a beautiful and touching picture book which celebrates nature and family relationships. The illustrations are so delicate and colorful, I really love them ! I enjoyed the mystery twist in the story and the imaginative creation of the young heroine to save her grandmother’s garden.

Inspired by a true story, Hoops dramatizes the historic struggle for gender equality in high school sports. Taking place in Wilkins in Indiana in 1976, it follows a group of teenagers who created one of the first high school girls basketball teams.

These board books are so adorable ! And they have a pop-up surprise at the end ! Colorful and joyful, they teach babies and toddlers about colors and numbers with the help of friendly animals. The art is beautiful, fun and attractive ! I hope they will do more books in this series !

What a great graphic novel ! I really love how Jonathan Hill uses science fiction to explore the themes of difference, fear of rejection and immigration. It is truly a very smart story : Identity is at the center of the plot, but in a very unexpected way.

Back to school time is around the corner ! It is an exciting period for some children and adults, but also a moment of fear and stressful anticipation for others. These great picture books help to prepare young readers for this great moment.

Finally answering the oft-asked question of "Yes, but what did you look like when you were sleeping as a young child, Mark?" here's my #ThrowbackThursday photo for this week, which you should be able to date accurately from the #StarWars poster on the wall. Fans of candlewick bedspreads will be overjoyed at that tatty horror keeping me warm at night. Did I pick it to pieces to make little mazes to run my fingers through? You betcha!
