As parents, we’ve experienced the joy of watching our children get lost in a story. As librarians, we understand that finding a book that will engage your child can be challenging. But when you do discover it — wow. Since we don’t know your children personally, we created this list with an eye toward a broad range of readers. With release dates throughout the fall, these picks will keep your shelves stocked well past the start of school. We hope you enjoy them! See the list of picks at the Washington Post.
