Central Park

Adventures Through the Seasons

2026 CHILDREN'S BOOK COUNCIL HOT OFF THE PRESS PICK

A perfect introduction to one of the world’s most iconic parks, Central Park is a joyful picture book celebration of nature, culture, and exploration—and a charming keepsake for local families and visitors who love New York.

Stroll through the sights and seasons of Central Park in this vibrant, rhyming picture book filled with fun facts about New York’s favorite park on every page.

As the seasons change, so do the colors, activities, and surprises waiting in the park. A young boy and his dog explore Central Park throughout the year, discovering a landscape where nature and city life come together in uniquely New York ways—from beloved landmarks like Belvedere Castle to seasonal delights such as model boat races.

With lively verse and richly detailed illustrations, the book captures the energy and beauty of Central Park in spring, summer, fall, and winter, inviting children to observe, learn, and imagine their own adventures outdoors. Engaging facts woven into each spread make the experience both playful and educational.
