If you're reading this newsletter, if you shop in our store, you probably don't need statistics or quotations to be convinced. Indeed, you might have already come in to Eight Cousins and explained to me, or any other staff member, why you love books. You might have told us about your favorite memories of reading picture books to your kids, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, god children, friends' kids, students. You have shared your favorites books, sometimes the classics like Goodnight Moon, sometimes a more obscure book that is no longer in print. You have expressed heartache when you find out a book is out of print, "how can that be?!?! I LOVED that book!!"

You are already ambassadors for picture books. You know that reading picture books together is basically the same as snuggling. You don't really need to talk about it or analyze it, because you know how reading picture books together feels. You know it's fun. You know picture books can make you laugh and break your heart. They can say things without saying anything. They can teach you something new and make you feel safe all at the same time.

You already love picture books. We do, too. Here are some of our favorites.
