What's New at All About Books?

Every January, the start of a new year welcomes a new All About Books catalog and a rush of fresh titles available for our customers. All the hard work our team has put into the new book selections, creating the catalog, and mailing it out has come to an end and we are left with an exciting new selection of books. If you haven’t received a catalog, or instead prefer to order from our website, we wanted to highlight some of the additions and changes we have made for 2025. And if you do want a catalog, view our PDF catalog here or request one here:

Perhaps our most exciting addition for 2025 is our new selection of bilingual books in 3 additional languages! For years we have been asked to add more languages to our offerings, and we are so glad we now have at least one option available for each of the key milestones in Arabic, Simplified Chinese, and Haitian Creole.

In our continued partnership with Dr. John Hutton and Blue Manatee Press, we have added bilingual Spanish-English versions of some infant favorites: Baby Bookworm, Share This Book, and the Love Baby Healthy series! These books are well-loved among many of our customers, especially in NICUs, back-to-birth programs, and programs assisting first-time parents. Dr. Hutton was gracious enough to provide a deep dive into the process of making Share This Book and encourage you to read his blog post about the book.

Jumping to our Preschooler section, we are so happy to include Mo Willems’ Pigeon Books back into our catalog after a hiatus! If you have never read a Mo Willems book, these books are an absolute must. These silly, engaging stories are just as much fun to read for adults as they are for kids. Plus, the easy, short sentences in the book make them great for early readers.

We also have a few new series arriving in February and March, and we promise they are well worth the wait! Big Bright Feelings is a wonderful set of books introducing kids to socio-emotional topics like authenticity, anxiety, jealousy, and making friends. Arriving just a few weeks later we have Baby Steps! This is a new series of books focused on routines, helping to build confidence in everyday tasks with engaging, rhythmic books. And finally, we are excited to feature a new Bath Buddies series! Brightly colored, vinyl books filled with first words and images for babies to stay entertained during bath time.

For fans of our Diversity Packs, we have made a few changes to the books in the pack this year! With new 2025 arrivals like Everyone Belongs and I Believe I Can, and 2024 additions like Alphabet Family Band and Fry Bread, our diversity pack offers even more variety to show examples of inclusivity and family structures. Our team at All About Books is committed to ensuring we are offering an excellent selection of books, featuring books that represent as many different children and families as possible. It remains essential that children can read books they see themselves in and see other children unlike themselves represented in their home libraries.

Our team is very proud of the selection we have curated this year. To learn more about our selection process, take a look at our blog diving into our process.
