lirazel: The front cover from All-of-a-Kind Family by Sydney Taylor ([lit] this is my childhood)
My sister has suddenly decided she wants me to buy the kids a couple of books for Christmas. So!


Does anyone have any picture book recommendations that are a) unlikely to offend fairly conservative sensibilities* and b) likely to be in stock at a local bookstore?



* This basically means: if the book is about queer people, it probably won't fly. Unfortunately. This is a long-term project for me. Non-white characters are 100% okay, and Latinx characters would be fantastic.


[eta] I am soliciting as many recommendations as possible, so even if there's a bunch in the comments, please leave yours, too! Not all of these might be available, so lots of options is better!
