The desire to fit in and be deemed ‘normal’ isn’t limited to adolescence, though it can probably be traced back to our experiences growing up. But how are these standards of ‘normalcy’ established in the first place, and by whom? And, more importantly, does anyone really want to conform to some arbitrary rules and metrics just to be garden-variety, run-of-the-mill, averagely, typically, conventionally, predictably, unremarkably... normal? . Thank goodness, then, for these three (swipe to see them all) unusually brilliant and wonderful must-read #picturebooks that ask these important questions and champion diversity and individuality. Hopefully, these will help squash the ridiculous notion that there is any one definition of ‘normal’. It’s never too early (or late) to understand that while every single one of us is different, deep down we just want — and deserve — the same thing: to be appreciated, included and accepted for who we are. . #anormalpig #kfaisteele #norm #sylvialiang #sweety #andreazuill #kidlit #picturebooks #diversereads #kidsbookstagram #picturebook #readaloudrevival #readaloud #picturethisbook

I’ve been bingeing on MG/YA and this great stack was read sometime back. Swipe to see my top pick and tell me what you think if you’ve read any of these! 📚 . #kidlit #chapterbook #mglit #yalit #pteightbookstack #middlegrade #ptmiddlegradebks #middlegradebooks #ptbooksiread2019 #picturethisbook

Marshmallow nights 🌔📖| p.s. It’s pretty cool that real marshmallows were used to make this adorable picturebook! . #mostmarshmallows #rowboatwatkins #kidlit #picturebook #kidsbooks #kidlitart #chroniclecrush #chroniclekids #bookstagram #readinginbed #ptbooksinbooks #apicturebookgoodnight #picturethisbook

Science-fiction novels for kids? Why not indeed if they’re as entertaining, thought-provoking and accessible as these two wonderful new titles. Go check them out! 👽🛸 #twinningtuesday #middlegradetwinning #thetruthaboutmartians #melissasavage #werenotfromhere #geoffrodkey #mglit #middlegradebooks #kidlit #ptbooksiread2019 #ptmiddlegradebks #picturethisbook

🎂 Happy birthday to this delectable one-of-a-kind picture/cookbook, where opening the book gains you entry to a very special lunch prepared by the lovely residents of the eponymous 10 Pomegranate Street. . With lushly illustrated double-page spreads, each giving a peek into a different home kitchen, we get to see what’s cooking, along with a pictorial list of ingredients used and a tempting yet not-too-intimidating recipe that young chefs can attempt — my little foodie is dying to try Mr Singh’s coconut dahl! 🥥 . What’s also striking is the smorgasbord of different cuisines showcased, as well as author-illustrator @felicita.sala’s incredible attention to detail for the homey illustrations such that they reflect the diverse cultural backgrounds and tastes of the 15 different households and feel true to life. . Looking at that last heartwarming spread (swipe to last pic), I can’t help but also wonder if multicultural communal potluck parties that capitalise on our shared passion for food might be our best shot at, if not exactly eradicating then at least reducing discrimination and xenophobia. Food for thought? 🤔 . #foodbringspeopletogether #lunchat10pomegranatestreet #felicitasala #scribblebooks #picturebook #kidlit #kidsbookstagram #kidscookbook #kidscancook #kidlitart #picturethisbook

Reading this brilliant classic on my own would probably have been ten times faster and easier than reading it aloud with the kids, but their spontaneous mirth, unbridled enthusiasm and genuine appreciation for the story made our collective experience ten times more enjoyable and memorable — so I guess the math worked out alright. 😉📖 . #thepushcartwar #jeanmerrill #ronnisolbert #readaloud #kidlit #nyrbooks #readaloudrevival #middlegrade #mglit #ptmiddlegradebks #ptbooksiread2019 #picturethisbook
