Oh, do join me in a fun trip down memory lane. I’m looking today at the best picture books of 2022. Some of these books bring a smile to my face in memory, and I hope might present you with some good books to look for. Help your littles learn new material, or enjoy a good read. Let your middle and high schoolers meet a good introductory book to a new topic! Both are good! Do not downplay the effectiveness of an excellent picture book eh?
I will link to my review as well as give you direct links via my amazon affiliate profile for your ease of use.

Topical Picture Books
The Leaf Thief. Consider the changing seasons with this fun book about a squirrel all alarmed by his leaves disappearing on him!
Hedgehog’s Home for Winter is another changing seasons book, this time featuring a cute hedgehog rather than a squirrel. Loved the images in this picture book.
Another than the evolutionary point of view in How to make a mountain, this is an excellent primer in understanding how mountains, rocks, and various ecosystems all play a role within each other.
People are more connected globally than we might think which Our World is a Family points out quite nicely you’ll find.
Are you struggling to help your children understand how important sleep is to the brain and even how the brain works? Good Night to your Fantastic Elastic Brain is an excellent primer to help children and youth.
The Whale Who Swam Through Time is look at a bowhead whale over the 200 years of her life. So much changed in the course of her life, a good way to see the affects of mankind on the created world.
Oh you must Listen to the Language of The Trees. See their interconnectedness. I found this read so fascinating and discovered myself researching different ideas I didn’t know before. A great primer of middle and high school with so many ideas for them to use as jumping off points for research.

Just a good story
Now What? Faatz gives us a fun read of the joys of exploring one’s imagination. I’d love this one as a bedtime story! 🙂
I saw Love is for Roaring and I just started to smile. Can a roaring lion learn something about love and friendship? A good question eh?
Bunnies and dancing! What more could you ask for in a springtime read with your littles? It’s Just a Bunnypalooza is a fun quick read, that will teach you some dance moves too! I enjoyed sharing this one with my dancing nieces and nephews.
Another story that made me smile from the first time I read it. This is a great book to share with children of all ages. 🙂 Big Dreams, Small fish. Multi-cultural, helpfulness, and family. It’s all good!

Have you read any good picture books this year either as reviews, schooling, or with your children? I’d love to hear what you consider to be The Best Picture Books of 2022. Sharing books is always a good thing is it not? 🙂






So many of those science ones looked so neat. I know my girls would have enjoyed them at a younger age.
They might enjoy them now too! 🙂 One never knows eh?
