Summer Children’s Books Roundup from The Amsden
Summer is, admittedly, one of my favorite seasons! I love all the fun carnivals, picnics, and getaways that summer brings each year! I’ve rounded up some of my favorite children’s books that perfectly encapsulate the summer feeling from The Amsden and linked them below!
I’ll be reading some of these during my Summer Story Hours throughout the season, so be sure to check out all the details by clicking here!

The little blue cottage waits each year for summer to arrive―and with it, the girl. Through sunny days and stormy weather, the cottage and the girl keep each other company and wile away the long days and nights together. Until one year, and then another, the cottage is left waiting and empty season after season.
In this heartfelt story about change, Kelly Jordan's lilting text and Jessica Courtney-Tickle's lush art captures the essence of cherishing a favorite place.
