Clear and mostly strengths-based explanations of different types of neurodiversity, well-tuned for children who may have the various diagnoses and not at all othering or shaming.

Gorgeous little story about the power of love and its role in imagination. A little etheral for small literal thinkers, but still very gorgeous.
Moralizing, but worse than that even though it's in graphic novel format in theory, the amount of narrator voice is so high that my kids wouldn't even let me finihs reading it before tapping out from boredom.

I thought there was actually nothing at all surprising, and then the ending did manage to surprise me a bit! So that was fun. A feel-good story about libraries bringing community together.

Very adorable book about a boy who wants ot grow up to be just like daddy, so he wants to grow a beard right now! Barbershop culture and mutual support within a community, a feel good story all around.
I'm confused about this book, because I clearly had already read it, but didn't remember the ending. It's a good one, full of family love and families being complicated and not everyone is a good person.
quite well done, by someone who was as an undocumented immigrant as a child.

Fathers book, imho. All about the relevance of time. But in a playful way.
