KidLit Love Newsletter: June 2025
Here's a bit of love from the world of children's literature!
Each week, I share the weekly posts from the KidLit Love podcast and each month, I share a full round-up of those episodes so you can catch up on any episodes you may have missed.
I also celebrate the book birthdays that have come across my bookshelf and share any additional books and reviews I think you might want to know about, too.
So, here is a whole bunch of kidlit love from the month of June. You’ll find a quick summary and links to my Amazon and Bookshop affiliate links below.
