New York City, New York Jun 28, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Public and school libraries are expanding their children’s collections to include the Lisa Adventure Series, the heartwarming storybook collection that families and educators are calling a must-have for early readers. Created by Mary Marcoux, a former educator turned author-illustrator, the series supports literacy while promoting emotional growth, curiosity, and kindness.
Librarians nationwide are praising the series for its soothing tone, developmentally appropriate storytelling, and relevance to social-emotional themes. Each book centers on Lisa, a thoughtful girl navigating everyday childhood challenges—from making friends to dealing with feelings of self-doubt. Through Lisa’s gentle questions and choices, young readers are encouraged to reflect on their own actions and feelings in an approachable, non-judgmental way.
The books are beautifully illustrated in soft watercolors, making them ideal for shared reading, one-on-one checkouts, or quiet storytime corners. Many libraries are pairing Lisa’s stories with activities like story-and-craft sessions, reflection journals, and nature exploration themes. Each title includes a “Try It Tomorrow” page that prompts readers to carry the book’s lesson into real life.
Library editions are available in hardcover with reinforced binding for durability and also in digital formats through major library lending platforms. The eBooks include optional narration and subtle animations, making them ideal for tech-savvy collections and distance-learning environments.
Feedback from parents and educators has made it clear: families appreciate access to stories that feel emotionally safe, developmentally rich, and beautiful to experience. Lisa is quickly earning her place next to beloved classics on the shelves.
With growing requests from community programs and early childhood educators, Lisa’s stories are poised to become a long-term fixture in literacy programs nationwide. Libraries interested in early literacy, social-emotional learning, and meaningful read-alouds will find a reliable ally in Lisa’s world.
