Children's literature Book Club 2026


This is from a Facebook group that I have joined. I am so excited to read the 2026 selections.  Luckily, I have already read a few of these but mostly that was years ago so I will try to re-read.

January: The Giver by Lois Lowry (read decades ago)

February The Mighty Miss Malone by Christopher Paul Curtis

March: Flight of the Puffin by Ann Braden

April: Radiant by Vaunda Micheaux Nelson

May: Ruby Lost and Found by Christina Li

June: The Trouble with Heroes by Kate Messner (read but not blogged yet)

July: It's All or Nothing, Vale by Andrea Beatriz Arango (read but not blogged yet)

August: Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse

September: Land of the Cranes by Aida Salazar

October: The Undead Fox of Deadwood Forest by Aubrey Hartman

November: No Place Like Home by James Bird

December: The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper (read decades ago)


Here are the books we explored in previous years:


I loved the discovery of Olivetti; Magnolia Wu; Simon sort of Says; and many others.


Here’s a little about me and how I came to start this group. I am a 50-something mother to 2 young men. I have an MA in counseling psychology. I worked in the youth department of a public library for 8 years going back a few decades. Once I had children, I raised my kids full time and worked part time jobs here and there. When my youngest was in kindergarten I started substitute teaching. I did that for 12 years until switching fields once again, this time into sales. I am currently an account manager for a popular giftware company handling business-to-business sales.
I love books. I have always loved books. I am in 5 book clubs including this one. One is in person, the rest are online. I’d heard about adult groups to discuss children’s books and that information sat tickling my brain for a while. Then someone in another book club asked if anyone knew of this type of book club online. I searched and couldn’t find one. So I started one!
