This picture book follows Robin as they interact with the moon during a full moon night, creating a magical and nostalgic experience for both readers and Robin. Lastly, "I Don't Care What Simon Says" by Alessandra Requena and illustrated by Aki Tundra is recommended for ages 3-7. This story revolves around Fifi discovering a group of children following the commands of an unseen figure named Simon, leading to humorous scenarios and a comedic exploration of authority and imagination.

These ten new titles offer a diverse selection for children and young adults, ensuring there is something for everyone to enjoy.
