March is Women’s History Month, and there are plenty of children’s books to honor the many memorable women who shaped our world by carving their own paths and changed history.

Click HERE for twenty-five amazing picture books to help teach your little readers about some amazing women—past and present.

February is the month where we celebrate Black History. This LINK has a list of 42 picture books that celebrate black history, and black characters living their lives, fighting for change and equal rights, and improving life for everyone. 

From picture books to graphic novels, fantasy to family fun, these must-read books have the power to hook both boys and girls. Some are cultural touchstones that belong in every kid's library. Others open kids' minds to cultures beyond their own. And some are modern releases that have the timeless quality of classics -- the kinds that get handed down to siblings and passed around classrooms. Whether you have a reluctant reader or a budding bookworm, check out these surefire, kid-tested titles.

When we can't visit the library in person it can be challenging to pick out books we want to read just from the card catalog. 

Visit this website: The Best Children's Books to explore thousands of books. Write down the title and author and then explore our catalog as well as Sora so you can read it!
