Big Girl Panties by Fran Manushkin
EducatingParents.org rating: Approved
Great book to talk about transition from diapers to "big girl panties." Illustrations and text are "tasteful" and appropriate. No gender ideology confusion.

Happy in Our Skin by Fran Manushkin
The story explores the different kinds of skin everyone has. With slabs, freckles, birthmarks and dimples. All types of skin are seen as beautiful and appreciated.

The matzah that Papa brought home
A nice book about the Jewish holiday of Passover. Good to read and learn more and everyone can relate to the lovely depiction of family life.
