As trees sway in the cool breeze, blue jays head south, and leaves change their colors, everyone knows–autumn is on its way!

My book pick for August is Over and Under the Pond by Kate Messner and Illustrated by Christopher Silas Neal.
A secret underwater world brought to life: In this book, readers will discover the plants and animals that make up the rich, interconnected ecosystem of a mountain pond. Over the pond, the water is a mirror, reflecting the sky. But under the water is a hidden world of minnows darting, beavers diving, and tadpoles growing.
Ages 3-5
My book pick for July is And Then Comes Summer written by Tom Brenner and illustrated by Jaime Kim.
When the days stretch out like a slow yawn, and the cheerful faces of Johnny-jump-ups jump up . . . then it’s time to get ready for summer! From flip-flops and hide-and-seek to fireworks and ice-cream trucks, from lemonade stands and late bedtimes to swimming in the lake and toasting marshmallows, there’s something for everyone in this bright and buoyant celebration of the sunny season. Ages 3-7
My book pick for June is The Little Red Fort, written by Brenda Maier and illustrated by Sonia Sanchez.
One day, Ruby finds some old boards and builds something. She invites her brothers to help, but they just laugh and tell her she doesn’t know how to build. “Then I’ll learn,” she says. And she does! When she creates a dazzling fort that they all want to play in, it is Ruby who has the last laugh.
Ages 4-8
