As I sit here compiling this book list for you guys, there are snow flurries coming down outside my window. I am so tired of cold weather and snow! I’m sure you’re as ready for warmth and sunshine as I am. These books will fill your story time with spring colors and flowers and a lot of soft, furry animals. Chin up, friends, warmer weather and budding flowers are just around the corner! Happy Easter!
