{2026 New Release} The Heart of Our Home by: Janelle Washington This author-illustrator debut from Caldecott honor-winning creator Janelle Washington (Choosing Brave) is a timeless ode to one family's kitchen table: stained, scratched, and full of love. The heart of this family’s home beats steadily at the round wooden kitchen table. Every morning, they gather around it for breakfast. In the afternoons, it’s where homework gets done, and where art projects, and sometimes brownies, are made.

Happy Pub Week to Janelle Washington! #newrelease #WeNeedDiverseBooks #OurStoriesMatter #kidlit #TheHeartofOurHome #JanelleWashington
