Children's Books New and Notable
It is a golden age for children's books. On this page we will feature new, recent, and classic books that must be kept in mind always. Although categories are more flexible than ever, we will try to dedicate this page to what we call picture books, illustrated books to share between children from 2 to 92. Carlisle is extraordinarily fortunate to be home to Amy June Bates, an ever-rising and nationally-acclaimed children's book artist. Amy has a separate page dedicated solely to her work.

Gifts from Crows
Based on the true story of a girl and the crows in her backyard, this adventure explores the mysteries of friendship across species. Creative nonfiction at its best by bestselling creators Gideon Sterer and Shadra Strickland.

Seeds. Bits of toast. Peanuts.
Every day, the crows noticed.
Soon, they left their own gifts in return . . .
and what began with a breadcrumb became a friendship.
This is the true and astonishing story of a young girl,
a flock of clever crows, and the tiny treasures they traded—
gleaming beads, polished sea-glass, and
the most precious of all: trust.
