Here are a few I’ve read recently and really enjoyed. They are a wonderful way to spark a child’s interest in true stories and real people and to introduce complex social and historical issues, all while sharing a great story. Biographical picture books are a trend in children’s literature that continues to pick up speed, and it’s no surprise why. At the Sunnyside library, we love picture books! Meant to be shared, our collection boasts big, beautiful illustrations and accessible text that appeal to a wide range of ages.
