A Few Of My Favorite Things: Children’s Books

9781616892630Who Built That? Modern Houses, Princeton Architectural Press, 2014

My three year-olds are technically way too young for this, but I bought it for them anyhow because we already look at houses when we’re walking and this will make it more fun. Gorgeous book. Gift appeal: wide

Brown Girl Dreaming, Jacqueline Woodson, Penguin 2014

Yes, it won the National Book Award and yes, it deserved it. I bought several to give away. Gift appeal: wide
