Ice Cream Face by Heidi Woodward Sheffield (ages 3-5)
An "ice cream kid" thinks every meal should be ice cream (I happen to agree), but waiting in line at the ice cream parlor is hard. A delicious ode to a summer treat!
The Sublime Ms. Stacks by Robb Pearlman, illustrated by Dani Jones (ages 3-7)

My Lala by Thomas King, illustrated by Charlene Chua (ages 3-7)
Lala is a confident toddler who wakes up one morning and decides she owns everything in the world. She claims everything with a red dot, her Lala Dots!
Don't Eat Bees: Life Lessons from Chip the Dog by Dev Petty, illustrated by Mike Boldt (ages 3-7)
Chip the dog knows things, and has some advice on living your best life. Like the difference between what to eat (the fancy stuff humans cooked for dinner) and what not to eat (bees). But will Chip follow his own advice?
