Henry, Like Always
by Jenn Bailey
Picture book · ages 3–7 · 350L

Pinkerton, Behave!
by Steven Kellogg
Picture book · ages 4–8 · 380L · 1979
Kellogg's expressive ink-and-watercolor illustrations carry a rambunctious dog story that makes the consequence of misbehavior funny rather than preachy; kids love the chaos, parents appreciate the gentle lesson.

Picture book · ages 3–7 · 2020
A quiet, deeply affirming portrait of a Black mother and son that celebrates ordinary joy without sentimentality—the illustrations are luminous and kids absorb the love on every page.
