Edutopia – Ryan Tahmaseb
As a children’s author and former school librarian, I have a special place in my heart for picture books. When done well, they are beautiful, honest, and ultimately optimistic explorations of what it means to be alive. I can’t think of a form that better speaks to humans both small and big. Thankfully, each year introduces us to a whole host of new picture books.
As expected, 2023 brought many wonderful new releases, and it’s daunting to choose the “best” from such an impressive pool of candidates. So instead, I’ve simply selected 10 remarkable picture books from 2023. I highly recommend when incorporating these into your classroom consulting your school or public children’s librarian for additional excellent options.
