Favorite Children’s Books

As I write my own children’s book, I am continually inspired by books that others have written and illustrated. Here are 10 of my favorite ones! For a description of these books, check out my latest YouTube video!

1. What Do You Do With An Idea? By Kobi Yamada and Mae Besom

2. Indestructibles: Baby Faces By Amy Pixton and Kate Merritt

3. Indestructibles: Baby Peekaboo By Amy Pixton and Kate Merritt

4. The Family Book By Todd Parr

5. Dragons Love Tacos By Adam Rubin and Daniel Salmieri

6. There is a Bird On Your Head! By Mo Willems

7. Can I Play Too? By Mo Willems

8. Green Eggs and Ham By Dr. Seuss

9. The Giving Tree By Shel Silverstein


10. Love You Forever By Robert Munsch and Sheila McGraw

Many of these authors have written other books, so I’ve included links to related books from them. Not all sequels are as great as the original 😛 but I wanted to include them in case you’re curious. Especially for some of the series like Elephant & Piggie and Indestructibles, I haven’t read all of them yet, but I’m sure there are some other good ones in there too!

Anyhow, hope this list was helpful!

And I’m curious, what are some of your favorites? Leave them in the comments below and I’d love to check them out! 😀

My YouTube Channel: Writing a Children’s Book

By

Hey y’allz! I forgot to update this blog with the fact that I started a YouTube channel! It’s a vlog series documenting my journey to writing a children’s book – which I have wanted to do for SOOO LONG!!

My motivation always went up and down. One day, I was all gung ho about starting it. Then I would get overwhelmed by the fears of all the worst possible outcomes or overwhelmed by all the things I didn’t know how to do (self-publish, illustrate, market a book, etc…). I would get discouraged. I would get distracted easily. Or I would just get plain lazy and go to the mall instead. 😛 Anyhow, it was a nonlinear process to say the least.

About 2 months ago, I FINALLY got the guts to seriously buckle down and work on the book, and by announcing it on YouTube, I feel like it’s going to keep me accountable to keep making forward progress. ONWARDS!

Here are the videos I have so far, Episodes 1 through 4. You can click each one individually or I’ve combined all of the videos into a handy dandy playlist!

Also, what are some of your favorite YouTube channels? I’d love to find new awesome channels for inspiration! 😀
