Let’s encourage children's hobbies by giving them picture-book biographies ~ stories about real people who share their interests. Do you know kids who loves sports, space, or singing? Animals, art, or activism? Food or fashion? I have book recommendations for them here at my PbBioBookshop.

Karlin Gray is the author of picture-book biographies ANNE and HER TOWER OF GIRAFFES (Kids Can Press, 2022), SERENA: THE LITTLEST SISTER, and NADIA: THE GIRL WHO COULDN’T SIT STILL as well as AN EXTRAORDINARY ORDINARY MOTH. Some of her favorite bookstores are Elm Street Books, Books of Wonder, Between the Covers, Warwicks, and Books Inc.
