New Children's Book Releases for 2016

One of my favorite things to do in the evenings after a full day at work, is to curl up in front of the fire, with my favorite blanket and a good book - often a children's book.  Sound inviting?

Here are several new children's book releases for 2016, with summaries provided by Amazon.

I Am Martin Luther King, Jr. - January 5, 2016
We can all be heroes.  That's the message in this book.  Even as a child, Martin was shocked by the way African-American people were treated.  When he grew up, he decided to do something about it-- peacefully, with powerful words.  Here are a few preview pages inside the book.  


I hope you get to curl up by the fire with a good book this week as well.  After all, I believe just about the whole U.S. will be experiencing seasonably COLD temperatures.  Brrr!    Happy January!
