Words are everywhere—but for children, they shape how the world begins to make sense.

Word Up by Raven Howell is a playful and thoughtful picture book that explores how words can heal, hurt, and connect us. It’s the kind of story that doesn’t just get read—it gets talked about.

I found another cute picture book for y'all. Worm Loves Worm. All of their friends are very exciting for their wedding, but everyone has different expectations for how a wedding should go, and the worms don't fit any of them. This is a lovely celebration of the people who don't fit cultural expectations (in an explicitly queer way).

I stumbled across this picture book while shelving at work a few days ago. I had to share it!

Cecilia has two jobs. One job is to be a child. The other job is to accompany her parents around town and interpret for them. It’s an important job, but Cecilia is so tired! There are many children like Cecilia in the world. Their work needs to be recognized, so I’m grateful that books like this exist. But also, society can do better!
