Children's Literature: More Book Themes

Explore the slideshow above for many children's favorites, and below are a number of popular picture book themes that have been requested by our readers in the past. You can also find some other picture book selections from several of our other research guides:

• Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
• Black History Month
• Hispanic Heritage Month
• LGBTQ 
• Music
• Poetry
• Women's History Month

👉 Hint: when you click on a book below and are taken to its record in the catalog, take note of the hyperlinked subjects assigned to the item. Clicking on a subject will take you to a search result which should list even more books on that subject from our collections. It is also important to select a subject that contains the word "juvenile" so that your results will be books for children.

If you need help searching for picture books in other subjects, you can always get help from a librarian.
