2015 Award-Winning Children’s Books

March 16, 2015 2 Comments Holly & Nat

It’s no secret that Holly & I both love children’s books. Growing up in the hot summer heat in Arizona, we practically LIVED at the public library! Now we love to share our love of books with our own families. Every year, the American Library Association (ALA) honors the best books and other media with various awards. I’m excited to share the list with you, and let you know we’ll be sharing our kids’ reviews of some of the books that made the cut!
