There’s also an early reader graphic novel starring two questing cats that’s the second book in my daughter’s favorite series. My daughter has embraced her cat lady persona early (Her first word was “cat.” We don’t have cats). For middle grade new releases, there are so many stellar options. For one, there’s a gorgeous new historical fantasy featuring Japanese dragons and a historical adventure starring an asthmatic protagonist. Then, there’s a new queer affirming contemporary by award-winning author Alex Gino and a Nigerian fantasy with Black girl magic and some seriously powerful hair. These books are so much. If you’re looking for more children’s book releases, check out my list of new March children’s book releases, new April children’s book releases, and new May children’s book releases.
