When I started making themed bookshelves for my son, my mind was focused on holidays and seasons. Those are great, but I found it fun to think of themes that would appeal to a kid’s day-to-day interests. With that I bring you… books to check out about Pizza!

We all know and love our classics like The Snowy Day, Corduroy, Where the Wild Things Are, and Goodnight Moon. Some of you probably received one or more of these as a baby gift. The Snowy Day was even confirmed as the most frequently borrowed book in the history of The New York Public Library! I’d like to recommend a lesser-known book by the authors of each of these books. They may not be classics, but they are just as worthy of reading. Some of them I enjoyed even more than their popular “sibling book!”

This blog post features 6 picture books with themes of being welcoming and accepting of others.
