[close] From picture-books to juvenile fiction, award-winners to overlooked gems, the world of children's literature provides an endless supply of fabulous books. This group was created to be a one-stop destination, for all readers interested in discussing that world, in whole or in part. All opinions are welcome, as long as they are respectfully expressed. Attention Authors: You may promote your own books in the Authors/Publishers/Promotional folder only. Promotional posts in other folders/threads will be deleted by the moderators.

[close] A warm, friendly corner of Goodreads for parents, teachers, and caregivers raising little ones (ages 3–7) through big feelings and the first steps of reading. This is the home of Sprout — a small green dino who learns to name his feelings, calm his body, and grow a kind, confident heart — and the wider world of gentle, social-emotional picture books and early readers built around him. Here you can: - Talk about helping young children understand emotions like worry, anger, sadness, jealousy, and pride - Share what's working (and what's hard) in your read-alouds and feelings conversations at home or in the classroom - Get first looks at new Sprout books, plus free printables, coloring pages, and calm-down cards - Swap recommendations for other wonderful picture books about feelings, kindness, and early reading A note on who's here: I'm Matthew Hampton, the author and illustrator behind the Sprout books. I started this group to build a kind little community around big feelings and early reading — so please jump in, ask questions, and share your own favorites. New voices always welcome. Be kind, keep it about little ones and their books, and let's help some growing hearts grow.
