November and December tend to be slower publishing months, but I still read plenty of excellent November children’s book releases. As I was compiling this list, two themes stood out: joy and community. Several of my November picture book picks are laugh-out-loud funny and center themes of finding joy in self, family, community, and nature. Though my selections for November’s middle grade releases range in genre and tone, these books share a similar theme of kids embracing their passions and finding ways to participate in their communities by doing what they love, regardless of family pressures or expectations. All of these November children’s book releases would make excellent gifts for upcoming holidays.
