Picture Book Spotlight from the Library

As we begin a new school year, the library is excited to introduce some wonderful new picture books ready to be discovered. Picture books aren’t just for younger readers; they spark imagination, build vocabulary, and often lead to great conversations for students of all ages.

This beautifully illustrated book celebrates the magic of reading and the adventures that begin the moment a book is opened. It’s a lovely reminder of how stories can inspire curiosity, creativity and a love of learning.

Hair! by Mike Dumbleton & Lucinda Gifford

Bright, playful and full of personality, this book explores the many kinds of hair people have. With humour and vibrant illustrations, it celebrates individuality, diversity and self-acceptance.

Hedgehog or Echidna? by Ashleigh Barton

Blending story with fascinating facts, this engaging book compares two intriguing spiky animals. It’s perfect for curious readers who enjoy learning something new while being entertained.

We look forward to sharing these and many other wonderful books this year!
