June Picture Book Bonanza

Picture Books to Put a Smile on Your Face!

These sweet new titles are all about problem-solving and celebrating, whether it be a new baby’s name losing your beloved balloons, being swept out to sea, or getting along with your new baby brother!

Join us in-store to discover:

  • Joyful Song by LESLÉA NEWMAN. Today is Zachary’s baby sister’s naming ceremony! He’s just so excited to share her name that he can barely contain it, but the tradition is to have a great reveal at the ceremony. He invites every neighbor along the way to the temple to join his family, making for a momentous day!
  • The Mango Tree by EDEL RODRIGUEZ. In a quiet village on a small island, two boys spend their days in a mango tree. High above the rest of the world, they play and eat mangoes together. But after a huge storm sweeps one boy out into unknown waters, will he be able to find his way home?
  • Brandon and the Baby by BRIAN PINKNEY. Brandon loves his special blanket, but he isn’t too sure about his new baby brother, who steals all the attention. Brandon is not happy... in fact, he’s very, very angry! Luckily, Brandon’s blanket (or is it Brandon?) has a few ideas to make everything better.
  • Penelope’s Balloons by BROOKE BOURGEOIS. Penelope loves her ten red balloons. She spends every moment with them, taking them with her everywhere she goes — school, ballet class, and the market. But when she loses all her balloons, Penelope is devastated! Will she be able to get her smile back now that they’re gone?
