Is It Spring?
by Kevin Henkes
Springtime is here--or is it? One day flowers are blooming in the garden, and the next, an icy wind blows a snow squall into town. Henkes is back with another look at seasons, this time exploring how they don't change overnight. Timeless, simple text--just a few words per page--asks whether it is spring, then answers the question with peeks at a park, a backyard, and a small town.

Bursting with cheesy puns and bright, zany dinosaur scenes, this supremely silly and sweet story is the perfect treat for any kid who loves dinosaurs and pizza.

Awe!
by Chana Stiefel
An introduction to an "Awesome Wondrous Empowering emotion!" Countless picture books teach children to identify and explore feelings; this title stands out for its focus on one that few other stories have considered: awe. Stiefel provides a vivid, child-friendly explanation of the titular word before offering examples great and small. Awe can be quiet--the experience of silently taking in the northern lights--or loud, like watching fireworks. Readers explore the feeling of awe through profound moments of wonder and inspiration.
