Hi. I’m Andrea Wickert and this is my newsletter, Library Must Haves. I’m an artist, writer, picture book lover, mom, wife, shop owner, gardener, and steward of many antique things.

Library Must Haves is made up of recommendations of our family’s beloved children’s books and a peek inside this illustrator’s repository. For more of the who, what, when, where & why behind the newsletter please see the Welcome Post.

Enjoy Library Must Haves when it’s delivered directly inside the comfort of your email inbox, on the webpage, which will feel like a blog, or from within the Substack app.

All subscribers get regular posts about picture books, the love of them and the art behind them.

Paid subscribers get all of the above, plus extra goodies like periodic deep dives into my favorite kid lit creators, live art sessions, and access to the entire archive. Subscriptions are $5/month or $50 a year.

Founding Members get all of the above, plus my eternal gratitude and an annual thank you gift, if you give me your address when I ask for it nicely.
