But here are some books I've particularly liked these last 6 months. And I've been doing a lot more of ~skim-reading books and not actually tracking that I've read them on GoodReads.
- Insha'Allah, No, Maybe So by Rhonda Roumani and Nadia Roumani & illustrated by Olivia Aserr -- Ranya's mom says "Insha'Allah" ("God willing") lots of times, and it starts to feel to Ranya like "Insha'Allah" is just another way of saying "No"
- We Move Together written by Kelly Fritsch and Anne McGuire & illustrated by Eduardo Trejos -- about disability and community
- Just What to Do written by Kyle Lukoff & illustrated by Hala Tahboub -- I was less a fan of this than my partner was, but it is a nice book about the struggle to figure out what to do when someone you care about is sad
- We Care: A First Conversation About Justice written by Megan Madison and Jessica Ralli & illustrated by Sharee Miller
- I'm Sorry You Got Mad written by Kyle Lukoff & illustrated by Julie Kwon -- about apologizing
- [board book] The Belly Song written by Mother Moon & illustrated by Leah Giles -- a matter-of-fact sing-along book normalizing body shape diversity. Big belly, little belly, round belly, flat! Some have a lot of muscle. Some have a lot of fat. Some wiggle and they jiggle, and some do not. And I like whatever kind of belly that you've got!
