My job is to sort through thousands of new titles published each year — from picture books to chapter books to middle grade novels to young adult novels — and select the very best to be featured in The Times. My goal is to help you keep up with the best the publishing world is offering our kids, week in and week out. Under the Story Times banner I’ll recommend books that fit the bill for whatever you’re looking for, from your baby’s first weeks at home to your teenager’s last weeks at high school. So far, I’ve put together some suggestions for great bedtime stories for babies and toddlers, fantasy novels for teenagers and books for babies. And I’ve also recommended excellent shorter stories for brand-new readers; great not-too-long books for elementary-school children; and bedtime books for preschoolers.
