Hi, {{first_name | friend}}!
I’m convinced we all have at least one piece of lost childhood media that haunts us. Like that book you swear you read, but no one else remembers, or some straight-to-VHS movie that you’ve begun to believe was just a prolonged hallucination.
Today we’re spotlighting two books that capture both sides of that experience: one that was finally rediscovered after 30 years, and another that finds a whole new generation of readers every single year.
And now I’m really curious: what’s a piece of forgotten childhood content you’ve been trying to track down for years? Reply with a description and we’ll see if the Pix team can figure out what it is!
P.S. If you want even more curated picks and bookish thoughts, my new newsletter, Worth the Read, is free through May 25 as part of Pix Plus. Join the free preview here!
Yours,

Books of the Moment
Some books define the moment because they’re new, and others because they’ve found their way back into the conversation. From buzzy releases to older titles gaining fresh attention through adaptations, rediscovery, and word of mouth, these are some of the stories everyone’s talking about right now. Today’s spotlight: Kid’s books!
The Weighty Word Book
by Paul M. Levitt, Douglas A. Burger, and Elissa S. Guralnick, with illustrations by Janet Stevens
BookTok strikes again! After creator @eliwmccann posted a charming video about his eighth-grade teacher using a special, unusually fun vocabulary book in class—and asked viewers if anyone could remember what the book was called—the no-longer-mystery title rocketed up the Amazon charts.
Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
by Dr. Seuss
Every spring, this inspiring classic shoots back up the sales charts. The reason? Graduation season, obviously! Our takeaway: It’s wonderful that, 36 years after publication, people are still passing this book along. Our other takeaway: if you’re planning to give it to a grad, maybe include a gift receipt—there’s a very good chance they’re about to get three copies.
