April’s showers bring May flowers and a whimsical spring book list.
Spring begins with hesitant weather, jacketless outdoor play, and a need to refresh the bookshelves. This seasonal list is sprinkled with new releases, comedy, magic, a nod to Earth Day, an opportunity to spring clean your finances and make pies fit to display at the museum. I hope you find something the family will enjoy. Happy Spring!
