Thank you so much for including CHOPSTICKS ARE Nadia!! 🥰🥰🥰

So without further ado… a few influential picture books from the last 25 years!

Who or what *is* influential?Someone, somewhere, is reading your story and snuggling it to sleep. Your book is making someone laugh, cry, feel scene, or journey to a safe place. And I think, if a story reaches one person, positively influencing them in some way, that’s enough.

I thought it was going to be a quick little post and now it might be four or five. As the year comes to end, there are dozens of articles featuring the “best books” of year. It can be easy to think, the book I edited/wrote/illustrated/designed wasn’t featured… does what I do matter?

How can we expand this list to be more inclusive?

So I asked!
If you ask an author or illustrator for an influential picture book from the last 25 years, they’re going give you three. And if you ask for a sentence as to why… they’re going to write you an essay.

This is incredibly cool!

How fun is this!!

We did! My son picked it as his nightly read aloud ♥️
