Granny & Bean by Karen Hesse & illustrated by Charlotte Voake (Picture Book)
Granny and Bean’s beach excursion is filled with exciting moments. It’s clearly a cold, windy, and rainy day, but they have a blast teasing the waves, singing, racing around, and enjoying each other’s company. Because it’s such a gray day at the beach, all the illustrations pop against the beach’s background. The text is simple, rhyming, bold, and filled with language that pops.
Beautiful You, Beautiful Me by Tasha Spillett-Sumner & illustrated by Salini Perera (Picture Book)
It’s aok that we don’t always look like our families, and what matters most is that we love one another and celebrate both our differences and similarities. Though there are a few books with this message, this book stands out because the language is simple, the message is repetitive, and at the end, the roles reverse and mom gives her daughter an opportunity to recall and dispense the beautiful message.
