Sara is looking for picture books that serve a true purpose—perhaps the perfect bedtime, holiday, potty-training, other-growth-moment story. She loves funny stories with great rhythm and cadence. And she especially loves stories about both identities and childhood experiences that are under-explored and under-served in the current market.
PICTURE BOOKS ONLY, PLEASE. ALL OTHER AGE GROUPS WILL BE CANCELLED AND REFUNDED.
