Childrens

[close] Welcome to the Spinning Wheel Stories Reviewer Circle! This is a cozy community for picture-book lovers, early readers, parents, educators, librarians, and reviewers who enjoy stories filled with kindness, curiosity, and heart. Members of this group get: ✨ early peeks at forthcoming Spinning Wheel Stories titles ✨ opportunities to read advance e-book copies ✨ behind-the-scenes updates from our tiny indie publisher ✨ warm conversation with fellow book lovers In 2026, we have an exciting lineup of new picture books coming — including three beautiful Finnish-to-English translations. Finland consistently ranks among the happiest places on Earth, and we can’t wait to share a little of that magic, warmth, and wonder with young readers here. If you love discovering new stories before they’re released, you’re in the right place! No pressure, no obligations — just a friendly place to share a love of children’s books and help support the launch of new stories into the world. We’re so grateful you’re here!

[close] This group is meant to provide community for authors of children’s books and those who enjoy providing their opinion on works created for pre-school and elementary age children. I want this group to be a safe space for authors, parents, librarians, teachers, daycare staff, or anyone responsible for children to convene, discuss opinions, share ideas, express thoughts and support one another through the power of reading and writing.

[close] Following the example of fellow Goodreads group, "Review Group", this group believes support for our Indie authors is extremely important. Many of these authors don't receive the attention they deserve. This group is for authors and readers.
