    Do you like reading? What would you like to read? Here are four recommendations from trusted critics.

     

    A Greenglass House Story

    Kate Milford, illustrated by Nicole Wong

    Twelve guests, trapped at the Blue Vein Tavern by rising flood waters, tell stories to pass the time. With tales that cross over between storytelling and reality, what starts as a series of unrelated tales weaves (编织)together into something smart and tight. A puzzle book that adults may enjoy just as much as its intended child audience. (For ages 4 to 8)

    Someone Builds the Dream

    Lisa Wheeler, illustrated by Loren Long

    Someone Builds the Dream is a celebration of the cooperative spirit and a proof to what we can achieve if we work together. And after having the curtain pulled back like this, children (and probably many grown-ups) will look at the world around them with fresh eyes. (For ages 5 to 8)

    The Boy and the Sea

    Camille Andros, illustrated by Amy Bates

    Following a young boy over a lifetime, Camille Andros' story flows back with a comforting rhythm while Amy Bates' timeless artwork washes over you. As the boy grows older, he returns regularly to the sea looking for answers but discovers something more valuable: visual angle. (For ages 4 to 8)

    Magic Candies

    Heena Baek, translated by Sophie Bowman

    When Tong Tong purchases a bag of strange, round candies, he discovers that each one allows him to hear the hidden speech of someone, or something. Honestly, who wouldn't want to hear what the leaves have to say? You'll also be sure to treat your chair with greater kindness after a single read. (For ages 4 to 8)
