Hi! I wanna make a list too, how do you make yours? Can you please tell me how? And btw nice list I'm gonna read all of it <3. Would you mind if I recommend some picture books to add into this list?
OOOH I JUST FOUND OUT HOW!! It's okay everything's alright now đ
I'm happy to hear you figured it out and thank you, I'm happy to hear you like my humble list! Though I won't lie, I am curious of what picture books you like. Also I look forward to your own list of picture books if you make any! I'm always on the look out for good picture books hehe
Mine are Someday by Alison McGhee & Peter H. Reynolds (I read this every Mother's Day!) and Ramadan by Hannah Eliot & Rashin Kheiriyeh (I read this every Ramadan!).
