12 Picture Books to Celebrate Summer

It’s not quite officially summer, but I can’t wait any longer! Today, I’m sharing 12 Picture Books to Celebrate Summer. I didn’t want to go straight for “this is summer” type of books, I wanted to go with more summer experiences for this list. Everything for going to the beach, to hiking, to spending time in a treehouse. These are some absolutely amazing picture books titles that you can find at your local independent bookstore or local library!
