The ABC’s of Picture Books

Having written several alphabet books, I love to play with language.
I wanted to share a list of some of my favourite picture books with you and decided to do that in alphabet format. The hardest part was leaving some of my favourite reads ply because I already had one for ‘B’ or ‘W’! But… here it is. Some are brand new books, others are classics. I hope you know some of them but that this might also help you to discover new ones.
More lists to come. Enjoy this one.

Happy reading!
