Upcoming Picture Book Releases - Jan-March 2021

Every year I write a most anticipated books of the year post but in the midst of this year I realised that it wasn't covering enough books - I was missing out on so many good ones so I started writing seasonal ones (you can find the Summer , Autumn and Winter lists here). So I decided instead of doing a full 2021 list which inevitably would only cover until the summer anyway as there isn't much information about books later in the year, to just cover the first few months. This list is not exhaustive - it couldn't be as there are 1000s of new releases (I browsed about 800 before my eyes went loopy and I called it a day) - and I will no doubt have missed something out that I am really excited about but I've done my utmost to find books that I'm most excited to read early next year. Here they are:

Factastic Non-Fiction Christmas Gift Guide

I adore illustrated non-fiction and think that it makes a wonderful gift for adults and children alike. I love learning new things and always turn to children's illustrated fiction when I am looking for a place to start as it gives you all the information you need in a beautiful format and without being overwhelming. It's also a great way to support your children in their passions - be in nature, vehicles, space, cookery, ballet, the list goes on. There's a non-fiction book for topic and therefore for everyone!

Before I share, I just want to say that there are many many great books out there but these are some of my favourites that I have discovered this year. It would be impossible to compile a fully comprehensive list so this is more of a highlights guide. If you want to see our gift guides from last year, or any of our other gift guides from this year you can find them all linked here. I've tried to include a variety of books so that there is something for everyone.

Adult Bookworms Christmas Gift Guide

I am a huge bookworm as you know so of course I think giving books at Christmas is the best gift you can give or receive! So I've compiled a short list of some of my favourite reads from this year but I would say it's worth having a look at the gift guide I collated for readers 7+ because there are some great books for young readers that will also appeal to grown ups.
