2026 Blogging A to Z April Challenge: Theme Reveal
Some how I blinked and April is a week away. And that means it’s time for the Blogging for A to Z Challenge! I’ve been participating for quite awhile at this point and I’m so excited to share this year’s theme reveal! It’s something new that I haven’t done for the challenge yet and I think it’s going to be one of the cutest themes yet.
This year I’ll be sharing 26 book lists featuring nine titles on each list, each one created by a different author. That’s 234 books that I get to share in just one month! I can’t wait to share these books with you in April.
Previous Years’ Themes
If you’re interested in past years, check out the reflection post which has links to every letter for each year.
- 2025 – Fact Finders Club: Nonfiction for Curious Kids
- 2024 – Adventurous Readers
- 2023 – Books for Every Reader
- 2022 – Tips for Reaching Reluctant Readers
- 2021 – Early Literacy Tips
- 2020 – Books & Cooks
- 2019 – Diverse Books
- 2018 – Programming
- 2017 – Leadership Traits
- 2016 – Storytime Themes
26 additional posts on top of all the writing I already do for the blog is daunting, especially because each post takes time to write and plan and they all have to fall under a general theme (at least how I do it). I am excited to say that I’ve already planned what books I’m going to be highlighting for each letter, now comes all the work of creating the graphics, Pinterest pins, and the actual content for each blog post.
Theme Reveal
This year’s theme will be Board Books for Babies! Each letter of the alphabet will focus on a specific topic and as I mentioned above, I’ll share nine board books that fit each subject matter. Board books are a baby’s first introduction into the literary world and I am so excited to share these great authors, titles, and publishers. There are some amazing, classic board books that you’ll find at almost every baby shower. But, what I’m excited about is that I focused on books that have been published from 2020 through 2026. I love sharing newly released titles that you might not be familiar with yet! So be sure to stop back in April for some great board book suggestions!
