I'm So Not Wearing a Dress by Mai S. Kemble - I really enjoyed this story about a tomboy who agrees to be a flower girl under a few conditions. The cover really pops in person.

Thanking the Moon by Grace Lin - Since no one called me out for missing this release last week, I am convinced no one actually reads this feature.

Wonder Women Classics by Erin K. Stein illus. by Rick Farley - This is the only book on here that doesn't feature any kids of color. As far as I know this is the first time Wonder Woman has a learning to read book all to herself. Female superheroes for young readers are underrepresented as well. So it made the list

Violet in Bloom by Lauren Myracle - I love this middle grade series. This was as good as the first one. Will review soon. My review of book one.

I do, I do read it! I just don't know anything about picture books, and, on top of that, since my own new releases cover ten day spreads, I am never quite sure when anything is happening....
I just spotted the board books by Jabari Asim, illustrated by LeUyen Pham (who I know from the Alvin Ho books), and they are adorable. I bought a copy of Whose Knees Are These? for my nephew.
Charlotte - I use your releases to see if I've missed any fantasy novels.
LaurieA-B - Whose Knees Are These? is so cute. I love Alvin Ho and Ruby Lu
Ok I can't figure out the Chinese Cinderella Story books. Is it a series? I know the author has written other books but I think people are counting this as her YA debut...
Love this feature!
Ari -Adeline Yen Mah
has a non-fiction book called Chinese Cinderella: the true story of an unwanted daughter.
The author has a few other non fiction books but Along the River is her fictional debut.
