Harriet Gets Carried Away - A Sweet Picture Book About a Girl with a Terrific Imagination... and Two Dads, That I Wish Had Been Read To Me When I Was a Little Kid



Harriet Gets Carried Away by Jessie Sima

Sweet, whimsical, and not about having two dads, Harriet Gets Carried Away is lovely, and absolutely a book I wish had been read to me when I was a little kid!

Here are some images from the interior, so you can see how Harriet's dads are integrated into this very child-centered story.

Hurray for Harriet (and her dads!)

Thanks, Jessie.

Not Quite Narwhal - a sweet picture book about identity, and belonging, that I wish had been read to me when I was a little kid



Not Quite Narwhal by Jessie Sima

Kelp doesn't mind being a little different from the other narwhals. But when a strong current carried him away, Kelp encounters some mysterious, sparking creatures who leave him wondering if maybe... just maybe... he isn't a NARWHAL at all.

The illustrations! The Narwhals! The Unicorns! And most of all, the main character, Kelp, and how the whole story is suffused with a joyous sense of love and acceptance... It's pretty magical.

Here's a fun book trailer:



Enjoy!
