Thoughts on these wonderful New Children’s Books – August 2025
If you’re like me, parent and summer’s off (I work in education), you might be counting down the days until school starts. While we wait for our kids to back to school, and enjoy these last few weeks of summer vacation, here are some great books to consider during your back to school shopping.
Now, let’s dive in to our recommendations I have curated for you and your young reader:
New Children’s Books – August 2025
Lola’s Moving Day
Anna McQuinn (Author), Rosalind Beardshaw (Illustrator)
A sweet, early picture book for ages 2-5 to learn about how fun working together as a family can be while moving to a new home.
Sound — in both science and history — is explored in this dynamic, illustrated nonfiction picture book from award-winning author-illustrator Olga Fadeeva.
Giving Thanks with Halmoni: Celebrating Chuseok, the Korean Harvest Festival
Kathleen Choi (Author), Sook Nyul Choi (Author), Il Sung Na (Illustrator)
Excitement is building for Chuseok, the biggest Korean holiday of the year, and Halmoni wants to share it with her granddaughter and her friends. With a dearth of picture books about Chuseok, this book should be a welcome addition to the literature about the celebration.
Vera Ahiyya (Author), Debby Rahmalia (Illustrator)
Get ready to celebrate Halloween in this exciting new book in the Getting Ready series. Your little one will learn what to expect, from activities to costumes to treats.
Shana Keller (Author), Laura Freeman (Illustrator)
A Cinderella retelling with a young enslaved girl in the title role. On a Maryland plantation, CeeCee’s story doesn’t end with a prince, but a different type of rescue.
