2026 Blogging A to Z Challenge: Reflections
It’s May 1st and while that means summer is coming soon, it also means the end of the 2026 Blogging A to Z Challenge! Over the past month I’ve curated 26 book lists highlight board books that have been published over the past five years. With 234 book suggestions each one by a different author, there are literally hundreds of suggestions in all different categories. So whether you’re searching for some concept books, or best books for snuggling, or just a little something new to read, you are sure to find something on one of these lists!

2026 is my eleventh year participating in the Blogging A to Z Challenge! This year, my theme is Board Books for Babies with a focus on providing book suggestions that parents and caregivers can share with, of course, babies, but also toddlers and preschoolers! Each letter of the alphabet will focus on a different subject and will provide nine titles for each subject. While there are dozens of classic board books out there, this list includes titles published in the past 5-6 years, so you’ll get to learn about new titles, authors, and publishers! Stop by daily to check out the new books and other posts that I’ll be sharing in April.
