Your Heart Is Your Home

Written by: Kyle Tibb Jones | Illustrated by: Kristen Solecki

The sweetest book about what to pack when exploring the world – published by The Bitter Southerner and illustrated by my exceptionally talented friend & neighbor Kristen Solecki!

Doris

Written & Illustrated by: Sarah Jacoby

Look at this color palette! Newly published, this book is bursting with life & emotion. Also that miniature pony might be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.

If I Was a Horse

Written & Illustrated by: Sophie Blackall

Can you tell I have horse-lovers in my life? Every page of this book is full of imagination and, of course, gorgeous drawings of a horse.

Home

Written & Illustrated by: Carson Ellis

This is a book I will gift any chance I get. Imaginative and specific, it is a whimsical exploration of what “home” can be.

Written by: M.H. Clark | Illustrated by: Laura Carlin

Another book that I love to gift. The illustrations are immersive. The words are poetry. The sentiment is strength. It’s such a special book that it deserves two pictures:

Is anyone else gifting picture books this year? If so, which ones? I want to know!
