Kid Lit Joy

Добавлен 15 янв 2018
Hi, everyone! My name is Stef. I absolutely adore children's literature and have been collecting picturebooks (and middle grade/young adult books) for close to twenty years. There's nothing more magical than a well-crafted children's story. Here on Kid Lit Joy I will be sharing recent reads, recommendation lists, reading vlogs and more with a focus on children's literature.
