Books by Michele Renee Acosta

Curious Conundrums was created by children’s author and former teacher Michele Renee Acosta. Her picture books for ages 3–8 grow kind hearts and curious minds, and many of our activity themes, from wildlife and habitats to the holidays, pair naturally with them for reading and playing together.
