Looking for some of the best children’s books published in 2022?
Below I’ve compiled a comprehensive list of children’s books that I consider to be among the “best of the best” that were published in 2022. Rest assured, my children and I have read each of these books several times together throughout the year. I believe these are books children (and adults) will be excited to read again and again. Let me know in the comments which of these you’ve read or are excited to read with the little readers in your life.
Honorable Mentions (not included in this list): You Have a Voice by Vera Ahiyya and Fabiana Faiallo, It’s So Difficult by Raúl Nieto Guridi, illustrated by Lawrence Schimel and Finding My Dance by Ria Thundercloud, illustrated by Kalila J. Fuller.
