Picture Book of the Month

Every now and then we encounter a new children's book or series that we’re so excited about we want to broadcast it from the rooftop. We've created the Tattered Cover Picture Book of the Month (formerly called Kids' V.I.B.) to highlight real stand-outs among the many delightful and meaningful new editions for young readers.

Our latest selection is:

The Love Letter by Anika Aldamuy Denise, illustrated by Lucy Ruth Cummins

"Friend,
You are a joy, a light."
So begins the love letter three animals find on the forest floor. The letter makes them feel cheerful, delighted, and loved. But who is the letter really for? And who wrote it? This charming and insightful book reminds us to tell our friends and family why we care about them. Maybe we should all be writing more love letters!  —Bethany Strout, Director of Buying
