Hidden Gems

We present here some less-well-known books that we find really fun to read. Either the humor resonates with us, or the story imparts on us a sense of play. We hope you find them as endearing as we do.

These hidden gems are unique and interesting finds, and we urge you to check them out yourself. Each has its own approach and style, and each is worth a close look to see whether it resonates with your family.

We are partial to books about girls. There have been a good number of picture books released featuring strong female characters in recent memory, and for that we are grateful. These are some of the lesser known releases of the last 40 years, all of them more than 20 years old. Oldies, but still goodies.

These hidden gems each brings to the reader a sense of serenity and all-is-well-with-the-world feeling. We value them for their ability to set the mood and offer us peace and quiet.
