I’ve also reviewed many books in this list of December children’s book releases that will make great last-minute present ideas or ways to spend any bookstore gift cards you receive. There’s a new board book in the First Conversations series, a new picture book by Stacey Abrams, and a new Enola Holmes graphic novel. While December tends to be a slow publishing month, I found plenty of books I loved releasing this month. I hope everyone has a lovely holiday season filled with good books and good company! If you’re looking for more new children’s book releases, check out my lists for September, October, and November. You can also find a full list of new releases in the magical New Release Index, carefully curated by your favorite Book Riot editors, organized by genre and release date.
