Kid Reads: June 29, 2023

I read a lot of books with my kiddo. Kid Reads is a biweekly look at what we've enjoyed recently. ​

Dust Dragons
Steven Reutiman (author) and Heather Friedel (Illustrator)

This one was written by my husband's colleague and it is an utter delight. The story is one of bravery  and overcoming fear. It's also about family - both biological and found. Now, whenever our kiddo sees motes of dust in the air, she calls them dragons. It's fantastic.

The Napping House
Audrey Wood (author) and Don Wood (illustrator)

This was one of my books growing up. It tells the story of a big nap pile-on and what happens when everyone wakes up. The illustrations slowly morph in color through the story which helps set the scene. Kiddo is so into this right now we read it several times in a row.

Goodnight Little, Abigail
Jennifer Dewing (author) and Mary GrandPre (illustrator)

We were gifted this book when the kiddo was born. She goes through phases of forgetting it exists but always comes back. I think she likes hearing her name and seeing it on the pages. The illustrations are gorgeous - deep color and wonderfully detailed.
