Books

Yeti and the Bird by Nadia Shireen
Yeti, Turn Out the Light by Greg Long
*No Yeti Yet by Mary Ann Fraser
Books marked with a * are the ones I used for this storytime. All these titles are super fun and it was very hard to choose which ones to read! Vin Vogel also has a book called Bedtime for Yeti, which could be another great option. There are so many yeti themed picture books available right now, which makes for a lot of potential options to tailor your selection to your specific group. Unfortunately, none of these titles really feature diverse characters. There are some diverse children in the background of The Thing About Yetis, but obviously the yetis are the focus of the story. No Yeti Yet features two androgynous white children. One of the characters in Dear Yeti is slightly darker skinned, but that's about as far as it goes for diverse books with these titles.
We didn't read Are We There Yeti because I wasn't able to get a copy in before the storytime. All the copies in my library system are currently checked out! If you do read Are We There Yeti, I would highly recommend listening to or watching a video of Emily Arrow's Are We There Yeti song if you have the time for it in your program!
