We Became Jaguars by Dav Eggers and Woodrow White; published March 30, 2021

Parents and grandparents; librarians and teachers who are looking for early chapter books to hand to kids transitioning from beginning readers to short chapter books will love these first three books! Two of these are Advanced Reader Copies but I wanted to put them on your radar to order or place a hold on them once your library has them. Plus Sydney & Taylor #1 was published in February.

The last two are new picture books. I love all of Karma Wilson's Bear books and this one is no exception - a good book to share with little ones waiting for something big. We Became Jaguars by Eggers is a surreal, imaginative adventure undertaken by a grandmother and grandson.
