It may be a little early to think about Christmas gifts but if you want to introduce young readers to Anne of Green Gables, consider this new boxed set of illustrated early readers from Kallie George and @abigailhalpin.bsky.social (From Tundra). canlitforlittlecanadians.blogspot.com/2025/10/anne...

FINDING WILD by Megan Wagner Lloyd, published in 2016, is such a beautiful reminder to notice (and perhaps invite) bits of nature everywhere. #kidlit ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ‘ Illustrations by @abigailhalpin.bsky.social are beyond-words gorgeous.

Allan and Janet Ahlberg's books had a huge impact on me both as a child and as an illustrator. "The Jolly Postman" is pure magic.
