Several of these May children’s book releases would also make excellent summer reads as kids get out of school for summer break, with books featuring swimming lessons, vacations, and summer camps. There are picture books about cousins, aunts, grandmothers, and found families, middle grade novels about surviving war with siblings, grieving a sibling’s death, and divorce. For my top 12 May children’s book releases, families of all types are a common theme. Speaking of being too packed, it was so tough to narrow this list of May children’s book releases down to these 12 incredible books.
