I loved this video! These were all new books and new illustrators to me which is so much fun!
Thank you, Arianne! :)
Great video, thank you, my collection just grew with some of those books :)
Wonderful!
I love and so appreciate when you do these videos! I always find new favorites to read with my daughter!
Well thank you!
Farmhouse and The Writer were my favorites. 😊
Such great reads!!
Thank you for your reviews, it really inspired me to finished my children book. As a new author with my book being published August 2025, I hope I can strive to be a fraction to their level excellence. Your reviews give me insight how to be more creative. Thank you.
Wonderful!
Thank you for taking time to share these books. 🫶🏼There are so many amazing illustrated books I can’t get around to seeing them all. Your video gives a chance to see many of them in one place. I’m going through your illustrated books playlist now 😊
So excited to see if our library has any of these. 🙏
Let me know which ones you pick up! :)
I loved loved Farmhouse, but can’t wait to checkout some of these other fun ones too. Thanks for putting this video together! 💕
I hope you enjoy!
This looks like a great selection
Thank you for sharing these beautiful illustrated books.📖 It's interesting to see the many styles.🖌️🎨 I remember being little and feeling how big the house 🏡was compared to me. It's very scary for children sleeping in a room on their own. Easier if they have siblings. When my daughter got scared at night and didn't want me to leave her side, I used to lay beside her and wait until she fell asleep. I ended up writing a story around this, but more of a fantasy fairy tale.
I have to say her Dad was very good. He always allowed me to put our daughter first. He's a great Dad!♥️
When my daughter struggled to read, write and spell in school, I used 🎨🖌️ Art, Music 🎵 🎶 and Dyslexic Thinking to help her spell the words she was unable to read. Melody used to sing the stories from the Library. So I think she would have loved the book by the songwriter.
It's 4:15 am in the morning. I broke my foot 🦶 yesterday dog 🐶🐕 walking. 😭🤣. So thank you for brightening up my morning and distracting me from the pain. ♥️
Your a natural. All these illustrators and authors are lucky to have you showcase their books. 📖
Thank you!!!! ☺️❤️
Thanks for making these videos, I love them! I love how you show all the pages (as some of these books we cannot get them overseas) and your personal point of view. It certainly help me decide which ones are worth to order. I love the illustrations of Yellow Dog Blues the most by the way, such unique style:)
Thank you for this lovely comment. I'm so glad you find these helpful! :)
It’s always so nice to hear you talk about something you’re knowledgable and interested in. These seem very neat :)
Thank you, Fray!
Gosh, I feel like this is an impossible list to make for me. There are so many beautiful picture books! Like all of these are pretty! I couldn't pick my own list, lol.
I totally agree!, Anne!
I love old things too! Farmhouse looks lovely and right up my alley.
I thought of you when I read Farmhouse, Gina. :)
Such a great video, Shelly! Thanks for doing this. I hadn’t seen Alemagna’s new book - I might do a deep dive on her work for #picturethis2023 - and Bedtime for Bo wasn’t on my radar at all. My favourite? The Buffy Sainte Marie & Julie Flett collaboration. Everything about it speaks to me as a child of the prairies. I love picture book poetry, and the word play & rhythm are as gorgeous as the art in this one.
I would be very interested in what you dig up on Alemagna! I had a hunch that Sainte Marie and Flett's book might be your favorite. Did you do a deep dive on Sainte Marie's work last year?
@@Shellyish I did a video on Julie Flett in April last year; she’s one of my favourite picture book illustrators. I talked about Still This Love Goes On in a video in January 2023.
Buffy Sainte-Marie is wonderful and I imagine her words in a picture book would be wonderful. The New Rooster illustrations really appeal to me. Farmhouse looks absolutely wonderful - I love imagining who might have lived in my old Victorian house, so that is a beautiful idea for a picture book. Telling Stories Wrong! It sounds like one of my favourite things to do when I’m at school which is to outrage children by saying things in a wrong way - so funny! I always love watching these. The Writer looks great! Thanks for doing this again - always a highlight!
The New Rooster was quite clever. Farmhouse is just lovely! Telling Stories Wrong is incredible. Totally unique in its illustrations. I loved it and didn't want to give it back!
Beautiful.
Still Love reminds me of Feelings (graphic novel) by Manjit Thapp. Not precisely, more in tonality.
Upsidedown Hat's art reminds me of Curious George.
I love, love, love Farmhouse! and her process for creating the art in the book was fascinating!
The writer totally looks like a book I would love too.
The pointillism style in Telling Stories Wrong works for a child's book. I've seen pointillism used some other places recently and it doesn't work as well there.
Bedtime for Bo is one of my grandson's favorites.
Yes! I see the Upside Down Hat overlapping in style with Curious George! Farmhouse is simply gorgeous, but so is all of Blackall's work. Truly lovely!
Pointillism! That's it! It work ridiculously well!
Bedtime for Bo is such an experience with those large, beautifully illustrated colors. I literally cannot stop thinking about it.
Gorgeous books. Where Butterflies Fill the Sky looks just delightful.... with the girl and her aunties.
So beautiful, right!
❤❤❤❤
I collect books for my kids library wish i planed to pass down to my grandkids ❤
I’m especially taken with the writer and farmhouse purchased both books thanks all the best super channelYou are a very engaging presenter i’d be interested to see if you would perhaps go backwards in time and select some favorites from the past peace
Thank you for all the kind words. ☺️
My favorite picture book from last year is Knight Owl. It is perfect for adults and kids.
A great choice!
I really liked the Night Lunch. Did your children like these books?
They did! They liked Bedtime for Bo, The Writer, and Night Lunch. :)
I think that dog in The Writer might be a boxer.
You're probably right. :)
❤❤
I forgot to mention a very funny picture book called the bear that wasn’t this can be enjoyed by adults as well as children later all the best
Thank you for the recommendation, Chris! :)
You look beautiful. I just ordered a copy of And Tango Makes There. I want to have a copy of it before we can no longer get it.
I love that book! Thank you!
Check out a bell for ursli (1945 )will not disappoint
I will check it out.
This list is wrong since it doesn't contain Me & My Dysphoria Monster by Laura Kate Dale!!
Ha!
NY Times is nuts on some of them - bad art
There were several I quite liked as well. :)
Exactly 😂
