The Lantern House | Erin Napier

Pickpick

5🌟A very touching story about celebrating home.The Lantern House takes us through the life cycle of a house. Narrated by the house it tells its story. I absolutely LOVED this book! It made me emotional and gave me The Giving Tree vibes. The colorful illustrations were so sweet. My children both enjoy this one regularly. Reccomended for ages 4-8, Available May 24th. #bookreview #kidsbooks #illustratedbooks

“How do the oranges
On an orange tree share the sun?

Who wakes up the sun when it sleeps
upon its blazing bed?

Don‘t you see that apple blossoms bloom
In order to die as apples?”

Lesliereads @EvieBee @batsy It really IS a beautiful edition!💫 I am tempted to splurge on another copy so I have one to share with students on classroom visits, and one that stays home. 💝 2y
Lesliereads @merelybookish 😍Exactly what my eyeballs were doing when I happened upon it in the bookstore! 2y
Lesliereads @Nute It‘s going to be a challenge not to share every page! Some pages even fold out with more visual surprises. 2y
Nute I think that you have influenced one of the selections in my next book buying spree, Leslie!🙂 2y
Lesliereads @Nute Your welcome, Kimberley! 💕 2y

23 poems that employ language associated with food, recipes, and cooking to address a range of topics including reading, social studies, courage, adventure, patience, and magic. Thoughtful and fun, with bright, appealing illustrations. #childrensbooks #poetryforyoungpeople #poetryforchildren #illustratedbooks #childrenspoetry

Gentle and charming; narrated by a little girl enjoying and observing ordinary details of spending the day with her mama. Illustrations soaked with color and detail, some showing the differences between mother and daughter‘s toothbrushes, drinking cups, rain boots, and breakfast bowls. #illustratedbooks #childrensbooks #cozbicabrera #meandmama

28 poems: rich multiplicity of girl power, meaning city and country girls; curious, shy, weird, and empowered girls. All kinds of black, brown, asian, white, and biracial girls will find themselves in these pages.🌼💜 #girlpower #illustratedbooks #childrensbooks

This book of tiny stories (which just came out on the 5th!) is so quirky. I got my first writing rejection of the year earlier today, and apparently whimsical reading is part of the cure for my disappointment. 💖
