Childlit Books Publishing In August

At the beginning of this month, I thought, Gee, looks as if August isn't going to be a big month for children's publishing. And then a couple of weeks passed, and I saw I'd collected a lot of titles. So I'm doing two posts again this month.

These are books publishing during a pandemic. Authors and illustrators are limited in what they can do for promotion. Feel free to pass on the word about anything that interests you. And, remember, these are just titles I've stumbled upon on social media. Many more books are publishing in August.
