Going back to school can be easier with a good book in your hands, a book that lets you continue your journey from the subway car or the school library to recess.

With this in mind, we have compiled 10 recently published titles for readers aged 3 to 16 that are sure to brighten up the month of September, which is also marked by the end of school vacations and the return to routine.

The selection includes fun illustrated albums that highlight the importance of knowing how to apologize or accept yourself as you are—clumsiness included; the first illustrated album by 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature winner Han Kang, which will reassure many children who are afraid of storms; a collection of stories for early readers with a character who will make them laugh out loud with his political incorrectness.
