      <image:title>Blog - My Favorite Picture Books From Childhood - A Bad Case of Stripes | Written and illustrated by David Shannon. 1998. Publisher: Blue Sky Press | Scholastic.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Shannon’s story about the pressures of conformity still stands strong long after its first publishing. Part of the reason is surely the outrageous predicament Shannon places his young protagonist in. Camilla just wants to fit in and worries what other people think of her. But she has a rude awakening on her first day of school: She’s covered in stripes from head to toe! Through the story, repeated teasing and name-calling turn Camilla’s body into a billboard for all sorts of designs, which creates a stir for the other kids in her class and for her many medical specialists.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Chrysanthemum is cherished by her parents and lives a charmed life. When she’s old enough, she learns to love her “perfect name”. That is, until she is given trouble for it at school. Girls in her class pick on Chrysanthemum, saying her name is too long and that she’s only named after a flower. All of which causes Chrysanthemum to wrestle between being proud and ashamed of her once perfect name. The story reaches a climax when the beloved and expecting music teacher, Miss Twinkle, confides to</image:caption>

      <image:caption>On first look, this is a simple book. But on a closer read, its message is profound. McBratney accomplishes the near-impossible by successfully showing his young readers the unlimited love a parent has for their child. It’s a heartwarming back and forth as we watch Big Nutbrown Hare and Little Nutbrown Hare describe how much they love one another. Each time, the</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - My Favorite Picture Books From Childhood - The Velveteen Rabbit | Written by Margery Williams. Illustrated by William Nicholson. 1922. Publisher: George H. Doran Company.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Velveteen Rabbit is a literary classic. Most people in the U.S. have probably read a version of this story. It’s been republished multiple times since its original 1922 release. A velveteen rabbit plush is gifted to a little boy. The Velveteen Rabbit soon makes friends with a wise old rocking horse who shares that with enough love, the rabbit may someday become “real”. Over time, the Velveteen Rabbit and the boy form a close bond. But when the boy becomes ill (scarlet fever?), the rabbit is cast aside, now considered germ-ridden. Ultimately, because of his love and devotion to the boy, he is transformed into a real bunny, left to live out his days in the forest. I think younger me was fascinated by this story. I could easily connect to the idea of bonding with a</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When Joseph is born, his grandfather makes him a wonderful blanket. However, told in a refrain that takes hold throughout the story, “as Joseph grows older, the wonderful blanket grows older too.” Before long, the blanket is worn and tattered, and his mother tells him to throw it out. But Joseph has Grandpa fix it. And with its material, Grandpa turns it into a jacket. Grandpa turns Joseph’s wonderful blanket into a myriad of things as time goes by: From a jacket, down to a button. After the button, Joseph lovingly takes matters into his own hands.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This story was one of my absolute favorites. The message was digestible enough. But… the real reason I loved this book? The genius layers of holographic foil that dappled the illustrations. They made up the sparkling scales of the Rainbow Fish, and I was mesmerized. The Rainbow Fish is the story of a fish who is admired as the most beautiful fish in the sea. However, when another fish asks the Rainbow Fish to share one of his scales, he angrily refuses. This quickly diminishes his popularity. And soon afterwards, the Rainbow Fish becomes dissatisfied with his beauty because there is no one left to admire it.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My favorite picture book from childhood. Stelaluna is the story of a fruit bat who is separated from her mother at birth. It’s a dramatic getaway in the night that leaves her hanging all by her lonesome. Having no recollection of what’s happened, she’s soon taken in by a family of birds. It’s then an ugly duckling situation as Stelaluna desperately tries to thrive as a bird. Eating bugs and,</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Great Picture Books         from the Last 10 Years - Before She Was Harriet | Written by Lesa Cline-Ransome. Illustrated by James E. Ransome. 2017. Publisher: Holiday House.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The dynamic husband-wife duo (Cline-Ransome and E. Ransome) have collaborated on many award-winning books for children. I had the privilege of attending a live read aloud of this book by Lesa Cline-Ransome at the 2024 SCBWI Handsprings conference in Santa Fe, NM. This story follows the life of Harriet Tubman in a reversal timeline. Cline-Ransome takes us through a lyrical, poetic journey that’s sound and succinct. As Harriet is introduced to us in her twilight years, we are immediately drawn into her story. With each page turn — from Suffragist, to General Tubman, to Union Spy, and before — Harriet Tubman’s biography materializes. E. Ransome’s poignant and detailed illustrations keep us delightfully immersed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Great Picture Books         from the Last 10 Years - The Rabbit Listened | Written and illustrated by Cori Doerrfeld. 2018. Publisher: Dial Books.</image:title>
      <image:caption>A boy is devastated when something happens. The chicken wants to talk about it. The bear wants to shout about it. The elephant wants to fix things… None of which are things the boy is interested in doing (yet). Sometimes, all one needs is for someone to just listen. This story is deeply sweet and the illustrations are heartmelting. Cori Doerrfeld finds an accessible way to talk about sadness and grief; processing these emotions is difficult and complicated and not a one-size-fits-all experience. This book is one of the best expressions of empathy on this list.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This book is adorable. A kitty believes she’s a unicorn. Enough said — Cuteness overload!!! But what comes next is Kitty getting hit with doubters (looking at you, Parakeet and Gecko). With comments on how she looks, sounds, walks, and acts like a cat, not like a unicorn. But does that stop Kitty..? This is a beautiful story about being proud of who you are. Told through Pham’s bright, cuddly, and colorful animals that urge readers to feel the range of feels. With a genius twist at the end. Can’t get enough of Kitty-Corn? Happy to share that there’s a series of Kitty-Corn books!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Told from the experience of a boy who stutters, this story is a touching and compelling experience that’s digestible to its readers in its sights, sounds, and words. The narration is ripe with senses that articulate the boy’s struggle with speech. And when frustrations reach their boiling point at school, his father takes him to the river. There, he makes the space to respect its (and his) tumbles, whirls, flow, and calm.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Great Picture Books         from the Last 10 Years - Waiting | Written and illustrated by Kevin Henkes. 2015. Publisher: HarperCollins.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ah, one of my favorite children’s authors! Kevin Henkes’ stories were some of my favorites as a kid (Chrysanthemum). All the better that I can say his work still warms my soul in adulthood. Waiting is a story about five friends waiting for things to happen. Most of the characters have things they love and are waiting for. One character just loves looking and waiting. There’s a magnetic charm to Henkes’ adorable characters and the scenes in which he sets them. As time passes and waiting happens, Henkes’ story shows that the time spent with friends and the unexpected surprises found along the way make the waiting all worthwhile.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Llewellyn loves to collect things and stuffs them into jars. One evening, he collects the “cherry syrup sunset” and meets Evelyn. Together they collect things like rainbows and the sound of the ocean. Happily, their menagerie of memories covers wall-to-wall. But sad news breaks when Evelyn has to move away. With a broken heart and empty jar, Llewellyn gets a grand idea during a meteor shower. This is an endearing friendship story that I couldn’t forget after my first read. And extra points for its creativity! Marcero’s illustrations offer vivid and lively visuals. Check out the continuation to Llewellyn’s story in Out of a Jar!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Great Picture Books         from the Last 10 Years - The Boy and the Elephant | Written and illustrated by Freya Blackwood. 2024. Publisher: Random House Studio.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This picture book says a lot for a book with no words. On a piece of land stuck in the middle of a cityscape, a world of thick foliage thrives. A boy makes regular visits to his friend there: A tree that looks an awful lot like an elephant. And so, it is an elephant. That’s what he believes, anyway. The boy feels lonely and misplaced in the city, and finds refuge with the elephant in the little forest. But when the lot is purchased and the trees are marked for removal, the boy resolves to save his friend and the other trees on the lot. This is a tender and compassionate story rendered in stunning illustrations. Readers will be left with hearts full and readily satisfied by the ending.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Great Picture Books         from the Last 10 Years - Watercress | Written by Andrea Wang. Illustrated by Jason Chin. 2021. Publisher: Neal Porter Books.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Wang paints a beautiful story from childhood memory, which begins as she and her family make an abrupt stop along a dirt road for watercress. Mom and Dad are thrilled for the find. She, not so much. The narrator shares her initial resistance to the dug-up watercress, equating it to her hand-me-down clothes and furniture that’s been picked up on the side of the road.   But as the story progresses, her mother reveals more about her early years in China, including a time of famine. All of which expands our narrator’s perspective and inspires a new relationship with her heritage and with watercress. This book is powerful and thought-provoking, and unpacks how one may relook at their own connection with family history. Chin’s chosen color palette and illustrations — painted/drawn with both Chinese brushes and western media — creates scenes that are tangible and empathetic.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Great Picture Books         from the Last 10 Years - The Longest Letsgoboy | Written by Derick Wilder. Illustrated by Cátia Chien. 2021. Publisher: Chronicle Books.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Told from the perspective of an aging dog, Wilder creates a convincing narrator, using descriptions that are playful and authentic. The dog and his “Little” (a young girl) embark into the forest. During which, he remembers when he was an “awwpuppy”, runjumping and tailchasing. But now he’s dogtired and must slowstep. We follow them as they disappear into bigwild. Wilder’s words and Chien’s skilled sketch-like illustrations create a warm, emotional, and heartrending portrait of a dog on his last hurrah with his favorite person. This story captures the powerful friendship between an animal and their human, and how, despite change and time, that bond will last forever. This is an especially great read for those who have lost a cherished fuzzy friend in their family. And is one of my favorite reads from this list.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Great Picture Books         from the Last 10 Years - The Important Thing About Margaret Wise Brown | Written by Mac Barnett. Illustrated by Sarah Jacoby. 2019. Publisher: Balzar + Bray | HarperCollins.</image:title>
      <image:caption>You may not know Margaret Wise Brown by name, but I can almost guarantee you’ve read one of her books. Does Goodnight Moon or The Runaway Bunny sound familiar? Barnett unfolds the life of Margaret Wise Brown in the second person, keeping his readers engaged from the very first page. This picture book biography feels like a conversation with facts sprinkled though, and readers quickly become invested in discovering the “most important” facts about Margaret Wise Brown. In the observer’s chair, we learn about Brown’s qualities and quirks. Barnett cleverly chooses what to include in his story so that by the end, we as readers receive a well-rounded idea of who she was and what she contributed to children’s literature. Barnett’s narration pays its own tribute to Brown’s work in voice and tone. So, in the undercurrent of the story, we’re understanding her personality as a writer. Jacoby’s illustrations offer a layer of whimsy and nostalgia, which made a great pairing to this book.</image:caption>
