Ten-Word Tiny Tales
Joseph Coelho and Friends
How short can a story be? This delightful book shows that ten words is definitely enough. Each tiny story has a double-page spread illustrated by a different artist — the diversity of the artists and variety of styles is part of the appeal of this book. Some of the tales are unsettling, others are funny; all are thought-provoking. The author’s intention is clearly to inspire young readers to write or tell stories, to let their imaginations use the seeds of these tiny tales and grow them. 56 pages.

Best Kids’ Books of 2023
2023 has been a particularly strong year for eye-catching and engaging children’s nonfiction, but as usual our list is dominated by novels for middle grade readers (8-12 year olds). We have also made sure to include plenty of excellent picture books for younger readers, as well as some graphic novels.
