July Picture Books

This month, we celebrate Independence Day, so we begin with a few books about America's history. Later in July, you'll find stories about the sky and stars, a few fascinating nature books, rich picture book biographies about a scientist and a photographer, and more. I hope you'll join us for a full and inspiring month of reading!
