The end of the year tends to be a bit slower for new releases, but there are still plenty of excellent books releasing this month. Favorite middle grade authors Jason Reynolds and Wendy Xu return with new charming graphic novels, and two of my 3-year-old daughter’s favorite book series have new books being released in the series. There are also two gorgeous picture books celebrating Black history that I’m anticipating will be on some award lists next year. If you plan to buy books for the holidays (and I imagine people who don’t gift books probably aren’t reading this), I recommend going ahead and ordering your books now. Due to supply chain issues and shipping delays, the books may take a while to arrive. And now on to the book reviews of these 12 November children’s book releases!

Several books from my October new release children’s books got pushed back to November: Interrupting Chicken: Cookies for Breakfast, Room for Everyone, The Golden Hour, and Living With Viola.
