This year I had set myself a goal of reading 1000 picture books. Unfortunately, I did not reach that goal. I did, however, read 523 picture books. (Or at least that is how many I recorded.) I also read 43 novels, mostly middle grade with a few YA and adult novels thrown in. In a year that also involved an international move, buying a house, and starting a new job, I'll count that a success!

If you have children who are feeling unsettled or anxious, these books might help. They reassure children of God’s presence and love. They gently whisper that there is hope even when life is hard or it seems hopeless.

Here's a quick preview of the books in the list - more information about the books in the article!
