With all the current uncertainty & hurt in the world, sometimes you just need a pick-me-up. It’s snowy and slushy and super duper cold outside, so here’s to warming up… your insides! This week’s Butler Bookshelf is chock-full of feel-good picture books to inspire, encourage, and help you feel all things warm and fuzzy. Our feature pick this week is When I Redraw the World, written by Audrey Vernick and illustrated by Heather Fox. One little girl is on a mission to redraw the world, and she’s got big plans: lion & zebra tea parties, dogs everywhere (complete with tennis ball confetti!), and enough love and magic to go around. Complete with adorably charming illustrations inked in bright color, When I Redraw the World is a perfect feel-good read for dreamers & drawers alike.

Check out some more warm & fuzzy picture books below!
