The best children's and young adult books of February 2026
A selection of the best children's and young adult literature for February 2026 includes a range of themes from environmental essays to the adventures of a koala.
In February 2026, a diverse selection of children's and young adult books has been highlighted by booksellers from various Autonomous Communities in Spain. This month's recommendations include stories that explore complex themes like environmental awareness, friendship, and the innocence of childhood. Among the featured titles is 'Voy muy liado' by Oliver Jeffers, which intrigues with its deeper reflections on childhood and the rush of adult life, inviting readers to contemplate important life questions in a playful manner.
The collection ranges from whimsical tales, like the adventures of a koala, to thought-provoking works that challenge young readers to understand serious global issues, such as the representation of Palestine on maps. This combination of fun narratives and deep questions indicates an effort to not only entertain young readers but also educate them, making the selected books relevant to their lives and the world around them.
By showcasing these works, the initiative not only supports young audiences in their literary journeys but also highlights the essential role of books in fostering critical thinking and empathy among the younger generations. This thoughtful approach taken by booksellers reflects a broader trend in literature aimed at addressing both the imaginative and intellectual needs of children and teens.
