Still mostly reading childrens books. This is not my hat: https://www.amazon.co.uk/This-Not-Hat-Jon-Klassen/dp/1406353... (https://www.amazon.co.uk/This-Not-Hat-Jon-Klassen/dp/1406353434) Black dog: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Dog-Levi-Pinfold/dp/184877052... (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Dog-Levi-Pinfold/dp/1848770529) FArTHER: https://www.amazon.co.uk/FArTHER-Grahame-Baker-Smith/dp/1848... (https://www.amazon.co.uk/FArTHER-Grahame-Baker-Smith/dp/1848771339) (Sadly this book uses a stupid font. Other than that it's lovely.) Pirate Diary: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pirate-Diary-Journal-Jake-Carpenter... (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pirate-Diary-Journal-Jake-Carpenter/dp/0744594308) I get these from the CILIP Kate Greenaway award. Once you know the name of the writer, or illustrator, or even publisher, you can usually find more good books. http://www.carnegiegreenaway.org.uk/greenaway.php CILIP is a UK librarian organisation. The US equivalent award is probably something like the Caldecott Medal: http://www.ala.org/alsc/awardsgrants/bookmedia/caldecottmeda...
