I’m a huge fan of @BTeckentrup and “When I feel Brave” is up there with her very best. Visually stunning it captures that sense of fear. It’s about courage, facing fears and understanding that fear is OK and it’s part of us. Exquisitely written and illustrated. #PicturebookPage
So here are all 42 of my 40 #FavePicturebooks23. This is numbers 1-20 (there are three No. 1’s) …1/2 (I have been lucky to be sent a few books this year but 35 have been purchased. )
2/2 Number 21-40 of my #FavePicturebooks23
Joint No.1 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “the Tree and the River” by @storybreathing . It is an absolute masterpiece in wordless storytelling. Visually stunning, It tells a story of change and disaster but ultimately one of hope. Astounding #PicturebookPage
Joint No.1 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “The Artist” by @ed_vere. It’s a book about creativity and ensuring we encourage it not lock it away. It’s a book that celebrates art and its importance in our lives. It’s playful and deep in equal measure. Top Drawer. #PicturebookPage
Joint No.1 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “The Swing” by @BTeckentrup. It is a truly extraordinary book. It tells multiple stories both happy and sad, full of truth and pathos, this is book about life, time and place. Sublime storytelling through art and word #picturebookPage
No.2 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “How Does Santa Go Down The Chimney?” By @macbarnett and @burstofbeaden. They are a perfect pairing, with Klassen bringing Barnett’s off the wall ideas to life. It’s a work of genius. Funny, absurd, surreal and just brilliant #PicturebookPage
No.3 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “Do You Remember?” By @Sydneydraws. It’s book of quiet beauty. It’s a book of memories and futures. It perfectly captures the fear and the challenges that change in our life bring and how love carries us through them #PicturebookPage
No.4 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “A Walk In The Woods” by @nikkigrimes9, #JerryPinkney and #BrianPinkney. It’s a moving and profound story of loss and how one’s we love are always truly with us. The art, completed by Brian after his father’s death, truly sings #PicturebookPage
No.5 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “The Welcome Home” by #AmyJuneBates. This is the book the definitely gave me the most joy and the biggest smile. A brilliant story of a lonely couple who creat a home where everyone belongs. It’s joyous,funny and vibrant…#PicturebookPage.
No.6 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “Every Dreaming Creature” by @BRENDAN_WENZEL. It’s a stunningly illustrated window into the lives of the creatures featured. It creates extraordinary empathy for the creatures and will lead to brilliant discussions with pupils #PicturebookPage
No.7 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “The Voice In The Hollow” by @WillHillenbrand. It is a perfect wintery tale magically told with a surprising twist. The art is totally beautiful and full of frosty charm. An icy beautiful book that inspires questions #PicturebookPage
No.10 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “A Tulip In Winter” by @TheKathyStinson and @lauren_soloy. Exploring the life of Canadian folk artist Maud Lewis, it poignant and hopeful in equal measure. Soloy’s art channels the playful spirit of Maud’s work. A delight #PicturebookPage
No.9 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “The Witness Trees” by @ryangvancleave and #DomDom. A thoughtful, moving exploration of time through the eyes of trees. Poetic passages coupled with historical detail tie stunning art to moments in time and leave you to think #PicturebookPage
No.37 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “Simon and the Better Bone” by #CoreyRTabor is joyfully funny, full of character and is utterly charming. A great retelling of an Aesop fable and the use of the gutter is magical. A Joyous for (EY up) and a fab #AssemblyBook. #PicturebookPage
No. 38 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “The Truth About Max” by #AliceProvensen and #MartinProvensen. While it’s not strictly new (it has been posthumously published) it is a joyous character study of Max. It’s funny, emotional and full of love. (EY up) #PicturebookPage
No. 39 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “Lost Cat!” By #JaquelineKRayner is one of those books. It’s funny, it perfectly plays art against text. The child’s distress is brilliantly juxtaposed against the cat’s wild adventures. Joyously fun (Y1 up) #PicturebookPage
So it begins…No. 40 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “Monsters Never Get Haircuts” by #MarieHeleneVersini and #VincentBoudgard. It’s eye-catching chaotic, wildly funny art charmingly helps tell a reassuring bedtime story. Delightful. (EY up) #PicturebookPage
So, No. 37 in my #FavePicturebooks2022 is… “Fluffy McWhiskers Cuteness Explosion” by @Stephen_W_M and Dan Tavis is a brilliant riot of a picturebook. Hilarious, with the cutest cat ever. The problem is others explode when they see him because he’s so cute. Fab! #PicturebookPage
So, No. 38 in my #FavePicturebooks2022 is… “This Story Is Not About A Kitten” by @randallde and @cfellis. It isn’t about a kitten it is instead a fantastic story about a community. A fantastic repeating narrative and delightful illustrations make it a treasure. #PicturebookPage

No.37 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “Simon and the Better Bone” by #CoreyRTabor is joyfully funny, full of character and is utterly charming. A great retelling of an Aesop fable and the use of the gutter is magical. A Joyous for (EY up) and a fab #AssemblyBook. #PicturebookPage
No. 38 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “The Truth About Max” by #AliceProvensen and #MartinProvensen. While it’s not strictly new (it has been posthumously published) it is a joyous character study of Max. It’s funny, emotional and full of love. (EY up) #PicturebookPage
No. 39 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “Lost Cat!” By #JaquelineKRayner is one of those books. It’s funny, it perfectly plays art against text. The child’s distress is brilliantly juxtaposed against the cat’s wild adventures. Joyously fun (Y1 up) #PicturebookPage
So it begins…No. 40 in my #FavePicturebooks23 is… “Monsters Never Get Haircuts” by #MarieHeleneVersini and #VincentBoudgard. It’s eye-catching chaotic, wildly funny art charmingly helps tell a reassuring bedtime story. Delightful. (EY up) #PicturebookPage
Torben Kuhlmann’s ‘Edison’ is another masterpiece. Beautifully crafted illustrations, imaginative story, gorgeous end-papers and the historical facts linked to the story too. Loved it! @_Reading_Rocks_ @ClubPicturebook @booksfortopics #ReadingRocks
