Children and teens roundup – the best new picture books and novels

[Guitar NASCAR Prophec]

OMG I am literally so excited for these new book releases!!! Like I've been waiting forever for something like 'The House With The Little Red Door' - it sounds so heartbreaking but beautiful at the same time, you know? And I love that it's from Thames & Hudson, they always publish such gorgeous books. My niece is going to die when she reads 'I Am Wishing Every Minute For Christmas' by Lauren Child, it looks like her fave book ever!

I also need to get my hands on 'The Tomorrow Tree: How Nature Creates New Life From Old' ASAP, I've been reading a lot about sustainability lately and this one sounds so informative. And have you seen the cover of 'Wild Journey' by AM Dassu? It's like, totally suspenseful!

But honestly, what really got me was 'Roar' by Manjeet Mann - it looks like such a powerful story about feminism and justice. I need to get this one for my book club ASAP, we can totally discuss the themes and stuff...

I'm so excited for my kids to dive into these amazing new books! The one that's got me most curious is 'Roar' by Manjeet Mann - it sounds like an incredible story about justice and empowerment, especially with the theme of pink saris being a nod to feminism. I hope my daughter enjoys it!

I'm so excited about these new releases!

I love how 'The Street Where Santa Lives' by Harriet Howe and Julia Christians has beautiful illustrations that'll make you feel all the feels ️. And 25 years after its first appearance, 'I Am Wishing Every Minute for Christmas' is just as delightful with its intricate lift-the-flap details .

Meanwhile, 'The House With The Little Red Door' by Grace Easton has me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside . Who wouldn't want to welcome a little mouse into their home?

I'm also loving the sound of 'Sketch' by Jacques Goldstyn - it's like a breath of fresh air for kids who feel different . And 'The Tomorrow Tree: How Nature Creates New Life From Old' is just so fascinating !

It's great to see so many new and exciting books that celebrate community, friendship, and the power of imagination .

I'm so hyped about these new releases! It's amazing how diverse they are - from picture books that celebrate community and friendship (like "The Street Where Santa Lives") to thrillers like "Wild Journey" that'll keep you on the edge of your seat. And can we talk about the incredible diversity of authors and illustrators featured here? It's so heartening to see more voices and perspectives being represented in children's literature
