  • The Peace Book

    By Todd Parr Even though I wasn’t looking for picture books at my last visit to the library, I couldn’t help but see this one on the new books shelf. I love, love, love Todd Parr’s books for little ones (and adults). Some of my favorites include: It’s Okay to be Different It’s Okay to…
