Picture Book Review: Dear Librarian

 


Lydia's family didn't have a home for a while and they moved in between relatives. But once they discovered the library, Lydia found a home there. She loved all the space but more importantly she loved the librarian. Lydia became friends with the librarian and it changed her life.
Such a sweet story that tugs at your heartstrings. It's sad but also hopeful. This story touches on homelessness and needing a place to belong. It touches on the kindness of others, especially family. But most importantly it touches on feeling safe and welcome and important. I loved how Lydia's librarian changed her life. Librarian friends are so important. This love letter to libraries and librarian made me tear up. It also made me proud to be a librarian. The illustrations are soft and inviting. This is one special picture book.
