Picture books are some of our favorites here at the Butler Center. Through their unique blend of words and images, the picture books in our collection tell all kinds of insightful, impactful, and sometimes downright hilarious stories. This week, we’re looking at some of the picture books that we’ve added to our collection recently, with our feature pick being Bing’s Cherries by Livia Blackburne and illustrated by Julia Kuo. Ah Bing was a Chinese immigrant who bred Bing cherries. But what was he like? One little girl imagines his life as she shares his cherries with her father.
