It's Children's Book Week

Children's Book Week takes place May 1 - 7, so we've made a list of our favorite stories . Representation matters so we've chosen a few books that feature children from a diverse background and stories reflecting varied experiences. Some of our favorites are illustrated by Vanessa Brantley-Newton (see image below), including Every Little Thing written by Cedella Marley, And Mary Had a Little Glam written by Tammi Sauer.
