Last week I visited
Prairie Lights Books for the FIRST Time!
It won’t be the last!
I met Barbara Stein, a guru of kids’ books who shared her knowledge and
excitement of some of the new books for kids. She even gave me a copy of their
2012 favorites.
This list is compiled
by Barbara Stein and Victoria Walton. I can’t wait to finish reading the list
(and I’m not kidding!)
